When Barbados calls, you answer... preferably with a cold rum punch in hand and the ocean within flip-flop distance. That’s exactly what you get at Blue Haven Holiday Apartments, a sleek little base in the Dover Beach neighbourhood, just a short stroll from the famous St. Lawrence Gap. These studio apartments are sleek, spacious, and give you the freedom to do Barbados your way. Think fully equipped kitchenette for rum punch experimentation, chilled-out lounges, tropical gardens with a BBQ spot, and even your own balcony or patio for those golden-hour G&Ts. Need to do a quick laundry load? Sorted. Want to fire up the BBQ and dine under the stars? It’s there. Fancy a sunset drink before hitting the Gap? There’s a gazebo bar for that, too.

Blue haven holiday apartments is in the heart of everything “The Gap” has to offer. The rooms were recently renovated to a high standard and the staff were really nice. The ladies “Princess and Shakeeta” from the day time shifts were very helpful and professional. You can catch a bus from the main road (3-5 minute walk) to Bridgetown $3.50BBD . You can walk to all the restaurants in St Lawrence Gap for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
We really enjoyed our stay, if I had to give a critique it would be to add a soap rack in the shower and a refreshment stand in the lobby section (water stand etc).
I’m definitely going to book again in the future 🥰

We stayed here for a week during our recent trip to Barbados.
The room was spacious with a small kitchenette attached. It contained a king bed, cooking range top, safe, bread toaster, coffee maker(though you have to buy your own coffee) microwave oven etc.
The place was nicely maintained. They do maintenance only once a week though we had a visit mid way into our trip.
Good parking area. Very close to Dover beach, restaurants and St Lawrence gap.
The only drawback we found was the noise from the playground nearby. The playing, music and talking over the mic went on late into the night spoiling an otherwise wonderful stay.
I would rate this place 4.5

Great quality apartment - like Air B n B

Stayed here for two night after a package deal. Great wee accommodation, though that’s all it is. Impersonal at best, though efficient. Room standard is chic American, without negating quality.
We had the ground floor apartment - more than adequate space, all the mod cons and a free wash and dry which was perfect for us. Had breakfast outside…

We had the ground floor apartment - more than adequate space, all the mod cons and a free wash and dry which was perfect for us. Had breakfast outside from a local bakery - 3/4 minutes walk, delicious and great value! The resident rooster, or one off, even got a share!
