One of the hallmarks of any holiday in Barbados is a night at Oistins’ famous Fish Fry – and you are just a stroll from all the action (and a short drive from lively St Lawrence Gap for other nights out). Enjoy direct access to two fabulous white powder beaches laid out either side by of this seafront hotel. The iridescent blue waters of the Caribbean may be tempting, but you can also take a dip in the freshwater swimming pools – or head up to the raised circular patio for a soak in its trio of waterfront whirlpools or relax on the ample sunning areas with loungers and umbrellas. The sea views steal the show at The Reef Bar & Grill too, with its new seaside deck providing the perfect backdrop for Caribbean dishes, and for its weekly rum punch parties and barbecues accompanied by steel pan sounds. You can see why the Butterfly Beach Hotel is a great value for money resort in Barbados and a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner.

Great hotel and staff, found the food and drinks excellent, , if we came back we would love to pick up the hotel and move it around with us.
As others have said, the hotel is in-between oistens and st lawrence gap, oistens is a shorter walk than the gap, bit the zr buses are everywhere, and will take you wherever you want. Certainly are easier using them than walking sometimes.
All in all I definitely recommend the hotel, but do your research to see if the location is right for you.
We had Seaview room, they were great always clean.
Great hotel and if we ever return to Barbados, we Certainly wouldn't be against staying here again.
