Butterfly Beach Hotel | Barbados, Caribbean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Barbados, Caribbean

3.5 stars

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.

“What a little gem of a hotel”

Oct 14, 2025Kim C

A fantastic hotel how it is only 3 star I do not know . Loved our ground floor room out side the adult only pool Rooms were spotless and cleaned every day including windows What a beachside view from the restaurant all of the staff were attentive polite and could not do enough for you we will be back

“A great stay”

Sep 13, 2025Robert W

We stopped here 20 years ago, and because of the great experience we had when we decided to go again, we obviously chose it again. We would recommend and will be going back, we had a lovely time. We started off on the second floor with a pool view, but chose to upgrade to one on the ground floor so that we could go straight out into the adult pool. Was worth it. As we had changed rooms it wasn't an issue but while we was in the other room we went to use the pool but as the chairs were for the rooms there were nowhere to sit or put your things while in the pool which isn't good if you don't have one of the rooms. If you do it's a bonus as it makes the pool quieter. The hotel was clean, our rooms were cleaned every other day which was ok with us but usually every day in other places. Nice food at the restaurant, although food and drink were expensive everywhere, there was no exception. The reason I did not give it a full 5 stars was a few things, firstly all the hidden charges, room levy, then on food and drink- tax, service charge government charge even just for one drink. Some of the waitresses want a tip every time you order something, taking into account the service charge and government levy. The majority of staff were great, one or 2 were grumpy but not enough to make me not like a place. Like I said I would go back and recommend the place as overall a great place.

“Mostly great - could be amazing!”

Overall we would recommend Butterfly Beach Hotel. Good points are: value for money, location on the beach, great breakfast selection, lovely long pool area, great food in the restaurant (it's quite expensive - but then Barbados is expensive for food generally) and it's a short walk to Oistins, as well as not far from Lawrence Gap and Bridgetown. Also, worthy of note - the management is responsive. However, not everyone on the team is polite and friendly! Week 1 we were shocked at how poorly we were treated. Especially as so many before had said how lovely the staff was. Then we saw the review from someone who had just stayed - saying the front of house team were not polite - and speaking to another guest who had stayed before, she shared the same complaint. However, we did see a marked improvement in week 2 - one lady in the restaurant compeltely disappeared - thank goodness! As did a man who had been super rude on reception... The team that were left changed too - they started to smile more... and acted less like they were doing us a favour by being there. We noticed a massive difference in the mood of the team at the second welcome drinks (Mondays) to the one we had been at a week earlier. Also, when we needed to change rooms the Manager was understanding and made it happen straight away. We were very grateful for this. What I would say though is, because some of the team had been so bad on week 1, week 2 seemed SO much better - but there is definitely still room for improvement! They could be much more helpful - offering tips where to visit and just generally having a sunny demeanour to match the surroundings. Even after the changes at the end of week 1, one of the housekeepers had a go at my husband because we hadn't left our room yet to clean it - she really went for it! And another lady on reception just stared at us blankly when we asked a simple question... However, I have to give credit to another housekeeper - her name is Nicole - she was super lovely... as was Lynette (front of house) and the lady with the glasses on reception (can't remember her name) - it just makes such a difference to your day (and your holiday) when you are spoken to nicely! :) All in all we would return. If we did, we would book a ground floor room in front of the long pool - it's a lovely quiet spot. Couple of other things to mention: there should be a basic food menu available on the evenings where there are 'platters' - the platters are lovely, but be helpful to have some basics to choose from as well - especially for kids. Maps for guests would also be an added bonus and the live music is far too loud - you can't hear to be able to speak to each other, so we avoided on the other nights they were on - which is a shame, because the musicians themselves were really talented. And finally, please do not worry about the seaweed or the weather forecasts. The former - there was a bit by the hotel on day 1 and 2, but all along the west coast the beaches were perfect - absolutely glorious! And the weather showed rain every day and little sun - there was hardly any rain and gorgeous sunshine all the time. It really is a lovely spot and a beautiful island :)
