I absolutely do not recommend the SOCO Hotel in Barbados. This stay was a complete disaster from start to finish. The hotel looks nothing like the descriptions and photos posted online—it's false advertising. The rooms are tiny, poorly soundproofed (be prepared not to sleep), and the welcome is anything but warm (apart from Trudy's room service, which was wonderful). The reception staff is cold, unhelpful, and doesn't take guests' requests into account.
The towels were dirty when we arrived, as if they hadn't been washed properly. As for the food, the meals are repetitive, always the same, but still very good.
As for the beach, we really need to stop saying there's one—it's almost nonexistent! And the pool? Just kidding: it's tiny, it looks like a bathtub. You literally feel ripped off. For a hotel that's supposed to be "all-inclusive," all-inclusive (with nothing in the fridge in the room and no snack bar), and high-end, it's a disgrace. Move on, there are much better options elsewhere in Barbados for the same price, or even cheaper.
