We have just returned (today) from the most incredible stay at Beach View Hotel and cannot recommend it highly enough. The villa we stayed in was immaculately clean and the bed was so comfortable that I slept better than I do at home - a rarity for me on holiday! The room was extremely modern and had excellent facilities, including a hair dryer, clothes horse and kitchenette. The staff were absolutely outstanding - warm, friendly and genuinely caring. As a family-run hotel, it has a special charm that makes you feel like part of the family. Marissa at reception deserves a special mention: she went above and beyond, sitting with us on our very first day to help book several restaurants and excursions. Not only did she organise bookings for us, but she also remembered each booking and checked in with us afterward to see how we enjoyed them. Her thoughtfulness and warm sense of humour were really appreciated. The food at the restaurant was equally impressive - eveey meal was delicious but the apple crumble in particular was impressive. The two young men working as wait staff (whose names I sadly can’t recall) made dining there an absolute pleasure, treating us more like visiting friends than guests. The hotel’s facilities are fantastic and the pools were very refreshing after a day of exploring. On top of everything, the location is fantastic - close to everything you could want, yet secluded enough to be peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back - it truly felt like a home away from home. Hannah & Marty (London, England). Read less

The suite was beautiful. Hotel grounds were lovely and well maintained. It is clear to see the family take great pride in their Hotel. Great facilities including a restaurant and ‘Stedes Hideaway’. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for such a perfect stay! Read less

What a find. My family and I are so excited to return as we have found our new home base in Barbados. The space and comfort of the suite was beyond my expectations. In addition, the value is excellent! We were completely beyond satisfied with our stay and can't wait to return.
