Great Property
Beach View are lovely apartments. Good location and staff were very helpful. Apartments were spacious and well equipped. However, We ever first based in the classic Paw Paw, we found this apartment dark and had no usable outside space. Staff did their best and move us and we end up in the classic Carambola block which was completely different and although we only spent 2 nights there is made all the difference to our holiday.
We had a lovely stay and I would recommend this hotel. Accommodation worked well for us with a villa which had a kitchen with big fridge, microwave and cooker. Great attentive staff. Pools nice and not crowded. Some restaurants which you can walk to. Would recommend a hire car which reception arranged for us and which was great value and quick and easy. Be aware that the main supermarket in Holetown is eye wateringly expensive! It stocks Waitrose products in plentiful supply but x3 the price!!
It was my 2nd visit to lovely Barbados and staying at the Beach View was perfect! So convenient, the room was very spacious and had every amenity we needed. Having a full kitchen in our room made it feel like being in a home away from home. Will definitely be going back!
Overall we had a great stay while here.
The owner greeted us upon arrival and brought us to our apartment and gave a quick tutorial on important items .
The place was clean and housekeeping throughout our stay was great.
The reception staff was helpful and polite. Restaurant on site was a nice feature and the bartender and staff were great
The owner and his wife had a nice get together for guests at there beautiful house on the cliff for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, which was very nice and thoughtful of them.
We truly enjoyed our stay.
My only complaint.....we didn't have a Beach View! We were on the ground floor.
Not sure why, place didn't seem packed.
Anyway what are ya gonna do!
We still sat out every morning for our coffee and looked at the beautiful tropical grounds.
The condos are spacious and has all required amenities for families. Staff goes out of the way to make stay comfortable. Nice but small beach across the street.
Not your traditional resort with huge pool and tons of restaurants, more of a boutique place but works really well with families that can use large space and kitchen etc.
A Caribbean home away from home, our one bedroom suite had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a huge well-equipped kitchen so we could take full advantage of the fresh fish from the market across the road.
Hotel grounds were well designed and looked after, with 3 great pools a paddling pool for children.
Well located on the busy bus route from Bridgetown to Speightstown, and right on Paynes Beach. This part of Barbados has the best beaches and good snorkling, but it is quite residential/access restricted to a few public paths. So whilst there are some local bars/places to eat they are either part of a hotel or need a bit of seeking out. It's not a tourist strip like St Lawrence Gap, which was fine for us but may be a consideration for some.
This is a fantastic hotel with excellent facilities. The Rooms are huge. You will experience the personnal touch as soon as you arrive with the owners there to meet you. Will definately be looking to rebook next year. Overall one of the best hotels I have stayed at.
We enjoyed our stay at Beachview. Our suite was spacious and had a lovely view of the ocean. The suite we stayed in looked older than what was shown on the website and it did show minor signs of wear. Food at the on-site cafe was good and the service was also. It’s not an upscale experience but a solid option on the “Platinum Coast.”
We were delighted with the property. It was so spacious and tastefully decorated. The amenities were in abundance. The cleanliness was excellent. Loved that we had the outdoor space to enjoy too. My two teenage sons thought it was fantastic and enjoyed the space it afforded them.
Our only (slight ) negative was that the menu at the Sugar Cafe was misleading. It was very expensive for what we were given. By the time we had our sitting they had run out of a lot of the ingredients; they were brilliant in that they still made us meals out of what they had, however there was no adjusting the bill and it was very expensive. Added to the fact they charged in USD which was misleading.
If we are lucky enough to return to Barbados we would definitely be returning to Beach View !
Thank you !
We usually stay in full service hotels. Last visit to Barbados was 2022 at The Sandpiper, private beach front hotel. It was great, and so was this stay at Beach View.
Ok, as the name suggests it is not on the beach, but very close.
All beaches on the west coast are suffering from erosion, so it is hard to rate a place based on this.
We have been coming to Barbados for 15 years and see the change. If you really want big Sandy beaches, this is no longer the island.
If you want friendly acceptance of tourists, it still is.
This hotel ticks all the boxes for a base to work from. Really good spec rooms. Great gardens, gate to highway across road from beach, full security, although you don’t feel you need it. Owner is often on site sorting things.
Great Value for Money.
If you want room device and a butler, this is not the one.
If you want quality room / restaurant and three great rooms, opposite the Cliff and QP Bistro, it’s great.
We were very pleased with out 5 night stay
