Southern Palms Beach Club

We had a wonderful stay at Southern Palms Beach Club (beach-view suite). The suite was spacious and well-equipped, featuring a kitchen with all the basic essentials and two bathrooms—making it incredibly convenient. While the interior had a more traditional, older style, everything was impeccably clean. What really made our stay exceptional was the staff. Their attentiveness and consistently positive attitude created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our visit. The vibe of the entire resort was laid-back and friendly, perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. A special highlight was the live music performances on some nights, which added a festive and memorable touch to our stay. Enjoying great music with the ocean breeze in the background made those evenings truly magical.

Pros fantastic location on a beautiful beach . Wonderful views . Large room which was clean . Live music in the evening which was rather cheesy but people were dancing to it Could walk to some ok restaurants Cons- vet poor amenities for a 4 star and pricey stay. Room had no hairdryer . Interestingly there was a kettle and cups but no coffee sachets or indeed anything to make a drink with. There is a room service menu but no working phone to order from.

We have been coming here since 1996 and love it, it’s a beautiful hotel with a beautiful view of the beach and perfectly situated near St Lawrence Gap which you can walk to. The only problem is (and it is the only one) that the bar shuts at 10.00 every night whether there are people there or not and even if the band is still playing. The other night they shut it at 9.45

This was our second stay at Southern Palms and we have booked for next year too! It really is our happy place! Brilliantly situated on St Lawrence Gap lovely and quiet yet within walking distance of plenty of bars and restaurants. The staff have worked there years and all so lovely. The weekly managers rum punch party each Monday is fabulous and a lovely way to chat to other guests. The rum punch and fish cakes are delicious! We loved happy hour every day too and the times we did eat at the hotel, the food was delicious. Towels for sun beds are provided every day you simply change them and the young man that runs the water sports etc is brilliant! The beach is beautiful and grounds, if you want to relax and unwind from day to day life you won’t get much better! We stay in the supersaver rooms which work well for us. We are only sleeping in there, there’s maid service every day, air con etc. Thank you to the management and staff once again and we look forward to seeing you all May 2026. We just have one issue - it’s so good we keep going back instead of trying different places but Barbados has stolen our hearts since we got married on Dover Beach in 2003 xx

So here I am back in the UK after 14 days at the Southern Palms resort just off the Lawrence gap. Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to all the staff there for making my stay absolutely amazing, especially as this is my first trip to Barbados solo but my seventh trip in total. For travellers, I will always recommend an ocean view however from what I gather of other guests staying at the resort all the rooms are in very good order This was my second time at this resort and I think the main feature of the resort is the fact that it’s so spread out in some beautiful well-maintained grounds and again my heart off to all the maintenance and gardening teams to make it look so beautiful My package was room only so that gave me the flexibility of eating at a number of locations within the gap, but the meals I did have at the resort were very tasty and quite a wide variety of choice, particularly with the all day menu No doubt travellers would’ve noticed comments about the seaweed that turns up every now and again and when I arrived yes there was quite a bit on the shoreline and further up towards Dover Beach however as I’ve experienced over the years the beach and the sea has a habit of reclaiming itself and by the end of the holiday I was still able to go for a really nice swim. One thing I will say about the beaches in general, but especially at Southern Palms is the way that not only the visitors and the gas but everyone respects the beaches it’s quite astonishing really the amount of visitors the island does get and how well the beaches are kept in pristine condition even in the most locations. Coming from the UK it’s very frustrating seeing how the visitors to the seaside resort in the UK treat The beaches like rubbish dumps perhaps I could learn some lessons from Barbados. I did quite a bit of travelling around. I hide a car as I normally do this time. I’ve got a little GPS which really did help as most travellers will note the signposting is not very good but it’s still great fun driving around the island and it’s safe as well.. I used to drive-a-matic this time and their service was really good with the pick up and drop off at the hotel. I managed to get round most of the hotspots rascals fisherman’s pub bats rock Thunder Bay sharks hole and many many other places I think that’s the fun of exploring the island. You never know what’s round the corner the only disappointment was the caboose wasn’t open on the two times I passed there that just means I’ll have to come back to the island and try it again. I also did a day trip down to savvy on the bay, which was a great day out. It was $30.B and the bus picks you up and drop you off at a convenient time for yourselves. Will you get a lounger and an umbrella? The sea is absolutely stunning and the food trucks are absolutely amazing as well as the bar obviously.. they really do know how to look after you down there and it’s a highly recommended visit. As I mentioned, I spent a bit of time in the Lawr

Myself and my sister stayed at this hotel in June 25 for 7 nights and we really liked it.. To say that I am a fussy traveller is an understatement, couldn't fault this hotel. On arrival we were checked in quick, and our bags were taken to our room. We had a garden room, the room was very big and a few steps from the beautiful sea, it was quite dated, but we were in Barbados so didn't really matter, when your room has a sea view. The beds we so comfortable, the air-con was brilliant, a must for me when I am travelling, there was enough towels, soap, shower gel in the bathroom. The room had a fridge and a kettle, we bring our own coffee. What we like is that we could hear the sea from our room at night, so chilling to fall asleep to. The food and drink at the hotel were also excellent, and prices were good for hotel bar. We had beers, cocktails etc, super nice, and good quality, again we are rather fussy, the food portions were large and you could have a carry out. Every member of the staff were super, super nice, especially Linda and the other ladies at the bar, sorry can't remember names, but thank you for making our well deserved holiday a memorable one. What can I say about the beach.... WOW!!!!!!! amazing.. We don't usually go to the same places twice, but we will be back.. Thank you for everything...
