Eco Lifestyle & Lodge

Well….. it lived up to expectations. It’s in a beautiful spot, the rooms are lovely, the food is amazing and the best bit, the staff, make you feel like you are the only person in the world. If you are temped to stay on the windward side then this is the place to be. There are some really interesting places to eat nearby too from local to gourmet. Do it!!

The perfect tranquil stay Had the most amazing, relaxing, peaceful stay at Eco-Lodge. It’s really as beautiful as the pictures look online and the activities we did with the hotel were brilliant too. The hotel gives you the opportunity to experience the East side of the island and is great if you like hiking and surfing. One thing to note is that the hotel restaurant is only open a few times a week for dinner and there’s only one other place you can eat in after 5pm nearby. We’d recommend hiring a car or borrowing the hotels electric bikes. Overall, amazing if you want to see more of the island and do lots of activities in Barbados!

Fabulous Fantastic location , stylish comfortable room with a great ocean view , staff who couldn’t do enough for us . Enjoyed the complimentary head massage , and food at the restaurant was outstanding . Only criticism would be that the bathroom needed updated . Would def recommend though and wd come again !

It was a lovely staycation! I really enjoyed the quietness, salt baths and sauna. The food was excellent and staff kind and helpful. Seacat (the groundsman) did a good job getting the sauna hot for me and even offered coconut water to take home. I would highly recommend that you invest a chainsaw for him which would make his life and work so much easier. Also I would recommend putting a battery based lantern in the sauna for safety, as otherwise it's too dark which can be hazardous.

From the moment we walked up the hill from our Inn to the Eco lifestyle and Lodge for an early breakfast, we were greeted with a gentle sounds of Duke Ellington & John Coltrane, “In a Sentimental Mood”. The bird saying all around us and the sun was just starting to warm the day. The lodge is nestled on the hill surrounded by lush Gardens, not the kind of gardens that are orchestrated, but those that are etched out of nature. It is bijou and a retreat…. The fine elegance of nature. Breakfast was delicious, and as I appreciate the importance of ingredients, it was clear that they were gathered fresh from local farms. However, as we sat down and sipped our first green papaya juice, and ate her eggs and brioche French toast, we realize that this was something different. It wasn’t just about ingredients, but how they magically came together to create a “ moment” The Lodge is located in Bathsheba, out of the way for some, but not for those searching for something special…… Over the next 10 days we ate at the lodge a number of times for breakfast and dinner. As much as I love the breakfasts, the two dinners we had were prepared with care and attention to detail. A salad of fresh mixed vegetables, including roasted eggplant that had been dredged in cassava flour overnight, had the most delicious turmeric vinaigrette. Richard, the chef, prepared his special lasagna in individual cast-iron skillets.. This was no ordinary lasagna, but made with roasted vegetables and topped with gorgeous strong cheddar, a creative departure from the usual mozzarella. Portions were generous and they provided containers to bring home any extra. On pizza night, I chose the vegetable pizza. Don’t expect the usual, it was a thin sourdough crust, with caramelized, onions, roasted vegetables, and some delicious beets snuggled into the cheese. … sublime combination.. I cannot overestimate the beauty of the surroundings and the quality of the food. However, it was the people and the welcome we received that will remain with us. We live in a small town in Nova Scotia, which is visited by thousands of visitors every year. Remembering this wonderful kindness, which was shown to us, I realize that I want to make sure that our visitors have the same kind of greeting and remember our town as fondly as I remember Bathsheba and the echo lifestyle and lodge.

Great spot. Worth a visit and stay. Really good food. Only downside is amenities nearby are slim. Restaurants close early (5pm)
