TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Excellent smaller hotel with impeccable service. The staff were so friendly and genuine like most of the wonderful people of Barbados. The room we stayed in was large, clean, and comfortable. The restauran...t was good and we even got some entertainment with dinner. Really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I just got back from our first visit to Barbados and we can’t wait to return. The resort was perfect for first time visitors. It’s in a quieter part of the island, but you can grab a taxi or... try the bus to go into the various towns. We walked to Oistins for Friday night Fish Fry (definitely go if you can). We had a one bedroom penthouse and it was absolutely perfect! Only complaint is I wish it had more trash cans. There were only small ones in the bathroom, but none in the kitchen, that we could find anyways. Room was clean, bed was comfy, and we never had an issue with air conditioning. We ate most nights at the onsite restaurant and never had bad service. Swim up bar was great and the bartenders were always so friendly! Unless you’re on the first floor, assume you will not be able to grab a chair by the pool. They were always gone by 8am. But there’s plenty of chairs and umbrellas on the beach and we had no issue going back and forth between the two. Seaweed/sargassum was hit or miss, depending on the day, but there’s plenty of beaches up the west coast to visit (check out Carlisle bay!). Not the resort’s fault and you can see clean up crews each morning trying to clear it out the best they can. There are no elevators, which we didn’t mind, but worth mentioning in case you need to request a lower level room. Overall, we had a wonderful time and are already planning our next trip! PS - We were obsessed with the cats that randomly roamed around the resort!

For our anniversary, we were upgraded to a nice junior suite, which was unexpected and appreciated. The staff left a sweet note and complimentary bottle of wine. The room was decorated with anniversary bal...loon and petals - nice touch! The front desk will help with everything- thank you, Channel and Temar.

We loved our time at the Bougainvillea. The staff were excellent. From reception (Zawadi was fantastic) and the water sports lads, to the restaurant team. Some of the best interactions were with the garde...ner, the pride he had in looking after the grounds was great to see. Nothing was too much for anyone. One day when I came home from a fishing trip the chef kindly prepared and cooked the tuna & mahi mahi for us, best fish dish we had on the island. The room was a good size and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom though could do with updating. Around the pool area were plenty of sun beds and it was never too busy. A sandy beach was well maintained with beds and umbrellas set up at your request. There was an issue with sea weed that washed up daily (nature at work) but this was cleared daily. If you are looking for somewhere to chill and relax this place is perfect.

The service was efficient and super friendly. Lisbeth our breakfast waitress was a delight and made every day start with a simile. Vivian on the bar was a wiz with the cocktails. Housekeeper was friendly a...nd thoroughly cleaned the room What an enjoyable stay ??
