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.

Stayed her for 6 nights and have mixed feelings. The Beach sells the Hotel. Its amazing. Had a Luxury Suite with side sea view. Very spacious and clean indeed. Had a Half Board Plan. Breakfast very good with lots of choice. Evening meal not so good. It was hit or miss. Got bored of the same menu. The Service is extremely slow. Got a bit annoying as very quiet. The Management have eexcellent customer service in asking how you are and having a chat however I thought most the majority of staff were miserable and felt they did not want to be there. Such a shame. I would not go back again due to the lack of friendliness but would go back for the Beach.

We stayed at the Southern Palms in June for our honeymoon, this was our 4th stay at this hotel. I was proposed to here on the balcony of our room in January 2023, so we just HAD to come back for our honeymoon. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds along side Dover Beach. We had a garden view room with views over one of the two swimming pools, the beach and the entertainment area/bar The room has all you need, a huge bed, wardrobe, dressing table, safe, air con, a shower in the bathroom. We could not hear any noise from the nearby bars, the only sounds we could hear were the waves lapping on the shore and the whistling frogs, perfect to us. The balcony furniture has been changed, we used to like to sit at the table & chairs on the balcony & play cards & have a drink & food, but the new table does not facilitate this as it is more like a small coffee table, but hey, we managed The staff are friendly & smiley, in the most. Service can be slow at the bar, especially on a Sunday lunchtime when the steelpan band are playing and during happy hour, this time of year, happy hour was not as bad as it was when we have stayed in January. The whole island is a lot quieter in June/July We spent our days relaxing by the pool, overlooking the beautiful beach & sea, we made some wonderful friends, pool towels are changed at the sports hut & the boys who work there are really lovely & kind & funny, they also have a few sunbed mattresses you can use during your stay The hotel has quite a few repeat guests & I would suggest the majority of guests are older, just like us The hotel is in walking distance of the end of the Gap & there are always taxis outside if you need a ride somewhere There is live entertainment a few evenings a week, along with the Sunday lunchtime steel pan band The pink hotel definitely suits our needs & we will be back again Enjoy your stay

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

Southern Palms has a rustic charm and is perfectly located on Dover Beach one of our favourite beaches on the island. We stayed in July 2025 and whilst we knew it was ‘out of season’ we were surprised with how quiet the hotel was - this wasn’t a bad thing. The rooms were clean and fitting with the rest of the decor, with plenty of bars and restaurants along the gap only a minutes walk away. We did feel that the staff were slow and disinterested. We received no information on check-in about the facilities or goings on for our ten night stay so missed out on certain things (Managers cocktail party/Teas & Coffees/Gym facilities etc). Ordering a drink from the bar seemed like an inconvenience for the staff and was fairly expensive.. especially the buffet. However, we enjoyed our stay - it was relaxing and we will definitely consider returning to Southern Palms. 4*
