A bit outdated

Perfect location by the beautiful white Dover beach (you can watch the sea turtles while sitting on the beach) and very close to good restaurants. Will stay there again when getting back to Barbados.

I was given a room with just one window and no view. Breakfast is not included in the price and is very expensive. The beach has strong currents and high waves and for two days there were red flags so we couldn't swim. You have to walk along the beach to Sapphire Beach Condominium to access the sea without kicking your toes on sharp stones. Some reception staff appeared bothered by my check-in and occasional questions.

The hotel is right on the beach at a prime location. It is very close to Bridgetown and walking distance to Oistins fish market. My room had a little kitchen with a fridge, kettle and a cooker. The staff kept it spotless although it needs updating. The decor and furnishings are old. Sun loungers on the beach are free. You can see and swim with turtles. Cocktail event with the hotel's management was very enjoyable. There is a bus stop very close to the hotel and a shop nearby. There are many restaurants and bars on the St Lawrence Gap road but only Sharkey's Tropical Cafe is opened for lunch, others open only in the evening.

Poor wifi connection, TV didn’t work (it porvably would have been fixed, but we didn’t really need it) The drinks in the restaurants where below par.

Best locstion in this area, superb dover beach with lots of room and lots turtles in the water all the time, great staff, nice rooms.

It isn't the newest, most luxurious property, but it is very comfortable, perfectly located, well maintained, and spotless. It was perfect for our visit.

Our room was cleaned everyday. It was spotless. Loved the balcony and view. We didn't have a kitchen, but the small refrigerator with the small freezer, was extremely helpful, as we made our breakfast and lunch on some of the days we were exploring the island. The resort was located in the Gap but seemed removed from being too noisy or crazy. It was a very convenient location for our first visit to Barbados. We rented a car, and it was nice having the very secure place to park the car. We enjoyed the delicious food at the dinner buffets and entertainment. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet some of the other guests at the Rum Punch Parties.

Great location on st lawerences gap. The beach is so beautiful: white sand and crystal clear blue sea.. you can see turtles in the water. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

We found the food that we did have at the hotel was good, despite being expensive. However we were put off by the already expensive prices then being increased by further taxes which pushed up the bill considerably. We know that is it is an American norm to give prices exclusive of taxes but have not experienced this so much in Barbados. At other nearby restaurants you paid the price quoted plus a gratuity of your choice which we prefer.

We did not have breakfast as it was very expensive.

Mini-golf course is pretty beat up and the snorkeling equipment was basically only for kids (in terms of sizes)

Located right on Dover Beach and in the St. Lawrence Gap you have access to so many little local restaurants and shops. Also right down the street from the Dover Playing Field so we got to watch some local soccer and cricket matches on Friday and Saturday nights! Every single staff member we encountered was friendly and outgoing - they did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and fun.

The room was a little dated but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

The location is excellent, beach isn’t crowded, close to plenty of bars and restaurants. Short walk to the bus stop to get into Bridgetown.

on the first couple of days there was some weed which hadn't been cleared up unlike the hotels further on that had cleared it up immediately.

Carolyn and Corey at reception were super helpful and an asset to the team. The location is right on the beach, which is what we wanted and we had a lovely room facing the sea - could not get a better view. The hotel is clean and easy access to the area. It is expensive in golbal terms but considering the prices in Barbados, the price reflects the accomodation, more for setting than facilities.

if the room i stayed in had a better view of the ocean that would have made this the best resort I have stayed in while in Barbados.

spacious room with separate living room. TV in both the living and bedroom. Patio area very spacious. the entire hotel was very nice. The resort was a 5 min walk to the Gap nightlife and far enough not to hear the music late at night.

The room was a bit small and nowhere inside to sit and watch tv

We had a lovely sea view

The hotel has terrapins (or turtles I’m not sure but I think terrapins) living in a tiny water fountain. The water is mucky and there is no space for them to move around. Some of them were sitting on top of each other for lack of space. We thought that was terrible and not at all in keeping with Barbados’s efforts around natural turtle habitat conservation. We feel very strongly about nature conservation and animal welfare and we wouldn’t visit the property on these grounds alone, despite the good elements. The property is quite dated and has an old fashioned feel. We didn’t eat lunch or dinner there because the restaurant is not particularly interesting - there are lots of very nice cafes and restaurants on the island which we preferred to go to. We would recommend hiring a car so you can see the whole island. The buses also work very well. Finally, the serving staff at breakfast seemed to be either very unobservant or have an odd way of working. Every breakfast we had there we waited for a long time to be seated, then had ask for a menu after about 10 minutes, then go up to the desk to ask for the bill, because staff would walk right past and not make eye contact even if we were trying get their attention. We noticed it happened to a lot of other tables too. Perhaps they are on ‘Caribbean time’ but we found it a bit too slow when we are trying to get out and make the most of the day.

Staff are very nice, accommodating and willing to got the extra mile to help. Rodney in particular was great and really helpful with our watersports requests! The extra activities are a plus- the mini golf course, snorkels to borrow etc. Our room was always cleaned to a high standard. Although the property is quite dated we quite liked the ‘Miami in the 70s’ vibe (which we’re not sure is intentional). The location is perfect and the beach beautiful.

Unless your by the pool or the lobby area, the wifi was very weak, especially within the rooms. Hopefully they can get better bandwidth.

Overall the hotel and its staff are wonderful. Breakfast was delicious as well as the drinks. The staff were very accommodating and pleasant.
