Port St. Charles

A wonderful place to stay with private beach access. Complimentary water taxis are available if you prefer not to walk, and they also provide free chairs and umbrellas for guests. The nearby port features a restaurant that’s easily reached by the same water taxi service. The port area is safe, well-maintained, and offers free, convenient parking. The ocean here is beautiful, and if you swim out a bit, you’ll discover an abundance of colorful fish—making it an excellent spot for snorkeling.

Port St Charles has been an amazing getaway for me over the years. I have made many happy memories there and always look forward to returning. The resort is impeccably maintained and has breathtaking views. There is a complimentary water taxi to ferry you around and you can access the beautiful Heymans Beach directly from the resort. Staying at Port St Charles means you’re treated to comfy sun loungers and a beach umbrella courtesy of the wonderful beach team. The reception and security guys are friendly & professional and ensure everyone feels right at home. There is free resort WiFi which is pretty good, but most rental apartments have their own high speed WiFi. Up until my most recent stay, I would have easily given Port St Charles five stars and recommended it without hesitation. Yes, it’s pricey, but worth it. Unfortunately that's no longer the case. They have opened a fast food cafe beside the swimming pool in the centre of the resort. It is a small change but has a big impact. The persistent smell of stale fries now hangs over the pool and deck all day and permeates the neighbouring apartments. Where we previously enjoyed the Caribbean breeze, we ended up keeping our apartment closed up and were only able to enjoy the beautiful terrace early in the morning until the fryers started up. If you’re happy to stay by a burger bar, there is plenty of more budget-friendly accommodation available nearby. Barbados boasts many other upscale resorts and I intend to explore one of them next time. I will miss the glorious view, the sound of the ocean and the friendly staff but not the smell.

We have just returned from a glorious two week stay at PSC. We stayed in a one bedroom lagoon front apartment which was stylish and very comfortable. The apartment had a super king bed, comfy sofas, a well equipped kitchen, a deck and a washer/dryer. They provide a welcome pack with enough for brekfast and some banks beers! All staff were very helpful from reception to our daily staff who cleaned the apartment. The complex is immaculately maintained with well tended shrubs and trees. There is a small pool and restaurant at Pier 1 and another larger Sunset Pool and bar. There are also two beaches. All facilities are accessible on foot or by water taxi which comes to your apartment! Needless to say we will return!

Stayed here for 10 nights from 30 th October Really lovely 1 bed apartment booked through BA Holidays at a great price Highly recommended They have a complimentary water taxi service and on site concierge to book reservations at local restaurants

Port St Charles was a lovely property and close to Speightstown

This is my favourite place to stay in Barbados after visiting the island 7 times, having tried a few hotels and apartments on the west coast. We had a lovely large apartment with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, a large lounge and kitchen. Outside there was a large terrace and plunge pool. All of the staff at reception we met were extremely friendly and helpful. Hainsley was on the beach most days and set up loungers and an umbrella for us and was very nice to chat to. After several visits to different parts of the island we felt that this was the nicest beach we had been on. We also liked the large roped off swimming area which meant we didn’t have to worry about passing jet skis. We managed to see turtles whilst snorkelling on most days as well as lots of fish on the reef. Speightstown is very close to Port St Charles and there are quite a few good options for drinks and dinner. We particularly enjoyed the live music at Little Bristol and dinner on the beach at Local and Co. Looking forward to returning in the future.
