The hotel

If you love golf, this is the perfect setting for a golf getaway with a championship course that features 18 holes, lush fairways, water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. There is also a family friendly Par 3 short course called “Little Apes”. Additionally, there is a state-of-the-art golf performance centre, putting and chipping greens, and a driving range. Impressive though that is, that's not all on offer at Apes Hill Barbados Golf Resort, there's also sunrise yoga classes, bootcamps, nature trails, padel and tennis courts, and fishing in the reservoir. Their luxury villas come well-equipped with all mod-cons, fully equipped kitchens and outdoor space with private pools and views overlooking the 18th fairway - ideal for dining and drinking al-fresco. The 20th Hole Restaurant serves up international flavours with a side of local bites from morning to evening. At the Noisy Cricket restaurant and bar, you can also grab some seasonal sharing plates with craft cocktails and take in the local vibes with themed evenings and signature Sunday lunches, the perfect end to a perfect day.

They truly thought of everything. The landscape at Apes Hill is nothing short of spectacular, and the villa itself was airy, elegant, and beautifully appointed with stunning views of the West Coast of Barbados. It came fully equipped, and the generous “welcome basket” was the perfect way to kick off our stay. We had daily breakfast included which was served in a relaxed, peaceful setting, making every morning feel special. An easy win for our family was our own a safari-styled “island drive” on the villa’s golf buggy through the back nine— our young kids absolutely loved it! Read less

All the staff at the resort are incredibly friendly but also very professional. The reception staff were amazing nothing was too.much trouble for them. But all others from the gardeners the cleaning staff amd all the restaurant staff are the best. I would advise hiring a car as it makes it much easier to get to Hole Town amd do shopping etc Read less

Week long holiday planned with family. Service from arrival to departure was exceptional by all staff - office, restaurants, housekeeping, gardening, and anyone in between. Special shoutout to the women in front office and to Rashad who handled a few issues that arose with utmost professionalism. Also thanks to ‘the ice guy’ who, due to a fault with fridge ice-maker, delivered ice everyday as promised on Day 1. Three bedroom villa overlooking the 18th hole was perfection, kitted out with everything needed. Golf cart in driveway for getting around the property, which is breathtaking including some beautiful sea views from holes on the course. Family of monkeys out almost every day in various locations. Thank you for making a milestone birthday so thoroughly enjoyable. Read less
