Beach View Hotel

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Beach View. We are a family of 4 and stayed in one of the very lovely and spacious classic suites. The pools are great. All facilities have been very well considered even down to things like re-useable shopping bags, beach towels, chairs and parasols that you can take with you on beach trips. Great location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!!

We lived in Barbados at Sunset Crest for a year, 40 years ago. This hotel is approximately 3 km closer to Bridgetown (from Sunset Crest) and across the street from Payne's Beach. Excellent location and a good value for money. The luxury suite we occupied was on the third floor (had an elevator) and had a great view of the ocean (faced West and had great sunset views). We just returned from our stay three days ago and the weather during our stay was perfect (especially considering the time of year). The staff and facility were great and one could utilize beach chairs and umbrella, as well as a cooler at no charge. I had noticed some complaints concerning the service and prices of the food at the Sugar Apple Cafe (on site) in a few reviews but considering the time of year, the quality of the food, and other options on the island we were very satisfied with our meals. We ate three late afternoon and evening meals there. We made a lot of other meals in our kitchen. A large grocery store is located at Sunset Crest however be aware if you are going to rely the local bus to get you there you will need small bills ( $3.50 Barbados per person per ride ) for the fare. If one utilizes the ATM at the airport (like myself) to withdraw $200 US (which is $400 Barbados) you will receive four $100 bills back - good luck cashing them. Do not assume the Banks will break them down (as we found out) unless you have an account with them. If you decide to stay here utilize the "cab pick you up at the airport " service offered by the hotel (it was added to my hotel bill) as well as the starter food (placed in the fridge on arrival) package offered by the hotel. In short my wife and I were very happy with our stay here and will return.

We had an amazing stay from start to finish! The room was great and always so clean, the hotel grounds are beautifully kept (and feel completely safe), pool areas were nice and quiet because of the low season, and staff everywhere were always wonderful and accommodating. Nice area and easy to get around the island either by taxi or bus (but beware of the small yellow vans, they drive like crazy and not in a good way). We will definitely stay there again if returning to Barbados.
