This place is a gem which we would visit again. Our first impression when entering our 3 bed passionfruit apartment was...Wow.., it was large, airy, immaculately clean and fabulous sea view. Staff were friendly and efficient. We ate at their restaurant the first night and last nights of our 10 day break, the food was very good. Exceeded expectations. We used the pool in front of our apartments, always clean, relaxing, plenty of sunbeds & often had the pool to ourselves. We hired a car on site, which was a very quick and easy process. Overall, this hotel is excellent. I would definitely recommend to friends and family Read less

The pools and grounds were immaculate and the new bar, Stede's Hideaway was great, we met so many lovely people, not least David and his staff who run it. We'll be back for sure! Read less

The Beach View Hotel is a hidden gem on the elite West Coast of Barbados. Otherwise known as the Platinum Coast. While not directly on the Beach, a small part of Payne's Bay beach is across the street and a great place to watch the beautiful Caribbean sunset. Very conveniently located to multiple fine dining options along this stretch of the coast, along with great attractions in the Northern part of the Island. . As our family is older with two teenagers, we found traditional hotels no longer practical. Having a 3 bedroom suite with a living room and kitchen allowed us to relax together in the main space and give the teens their space to relax after a full day of experiencing the island with family. On resort, the convenience of the Hut and concierge were tremendous. Airport transport, Car rental and dinner reservations being taken care of by the staff were so key. They even secured a SIM card for local phone access. Staff were fantastic and committed to my family enjoying their stay. Could not ask for more. The resort is truly amazing. Great pools, great staff with a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. We certainly will return and likely bring other family as well. Read less

A consistent all round good experience. Large enough to have all the amenities - 3 pools, bar/restaurant, gym, spa and close to beach - small enough to feel cozy and friendly. The rooms - we stayed in a 2 bed in Ylang Ylang were flawlessly clean and really well set up for a family of four (grown daughters had en-suite bathroom - a big plus) with a full kitchen and outdoor terrace (covered so we could sit out when it rains). One observation that you will see the comments - the restaurant is SLOW to the point of us only eating there once. We ordered a take away the next day thinking it would be quicker - told to come back in 30 minutes ... still had to wait nearly an hour. We understand island time but all our fellow dinners shared our frustration. A small complaint that didn't spoil an overall great stay. Recommended. Read less

We have stayed at Beach View for that last 8 years or so. It offers the most relaxing and comfortable accommodations set in wonderful grounds. Great amenities in room and the pool(s) are such a great place to relax and unwind. The newly opened pirate pub is a fabulous addition and well recommended
