Butterfly Beach Hotel

Location: Frequently praised for being centrally located, near beaches, supermarkets, and dining options like "Chefette" or "Reef."(based on 1 review)

This is our 5th trip back to Butterfly Beach Hotel travelling with 2 adults and 3 children (plus grandparents in their own room). The location on the beach itself is wonderful with beach access from both sides of the property. The Reef restaurant offers a wide variety of food options: breakfast, the usual lunch staples and evening menus that change daily - all very reasonably priced. Entertainment is on offer most evenings and happy hours twice a day. The rum punch is excellent! What really makes this place though are the wonderful people who work here. Friendly and caring, the Bajan welcome is lovely. John in particular, has gone out of his way to make sure our younger 2 children are having as much fun as mum and dad. All staff, from front desk to housekeeping are a true asset to this family friendly hotel. We booked the Penthouse apartment this time around, with a large living and dining area, a full kitchen and 2 very large en-suite bedrooms. The beds are very large and extremely comfortable. The wrap-around terrace for our apartment is enormous, with sun-beds for 6 and ample room to dine outside to admire the outstanding view. Some previous reviews note that there are not many other dining options nearby. I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. We’ve used the handy ZRs in the past (cheap, convenient and SO much fun!) to reach nearby areas such as Rockley (Accra) or a little further to Carlisle Bay. Oistins is on your doorstep - 10 minute stroll, with a well stocked supermarket if you need it. We’ve hired a car over the last few times to explore the island. Definitely worth the effort to see beyond the gorgeous beaches. Visiting Butterfly Beach is a no brainer. See you Summer 2026 - we’ve already booked!

We were too late for breakfast which ends at 10 a.m. and lunch begins at 11.30. So we waited for lunch and dined on flying fish in deep fried batter with chips, cole slaw and tartare sauce. Naturally all fish on this island are fresh and my meal cost $50 Barbados and was very good. For us anoraks out there, if you should ever visit then you can watch the aeroplanes coming in to land at Bridgetown at less than 1,000 feet.
