The hotel

Only a short walk from Dover Beach, this all-suite hotel is fully equipped with all the comforts of home so you’ll have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. All suites have a living area, patio or balcony and a full kitchen, but if you don’t feel like cooking, visit the beachfront restaurant Pureocean and try traditional Caribbean cuisine and dine with a stunning backdrop. There’s plenty to do with three freshwater pools, tennis, and mini golf but if it's a little pampering you are after then why not head to the spa.

Good hotel that offers an all-inclusive food package if you're looking for one and if you're not, the rooms have a kitchen so you can make whatever meal you want.

A Wonderful July Escape at DV Southwinds, Barbados We had an amazing stay at DV Southwinds in July, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap, making it incredibly convenient to access a variety of restaurants, local grocery stores, and fun attractions. The property itself is beautifully maintained, and the staff went above and beyond with their friendliness and support throughout our stay. July turned out to be a perfect time to visit—fewer crowds meant easy access to the pool, mini golf, playgrounds, and the beach, all without the usual hustle. We stayed in a Garden view room, which offered lovely views of lush greenery and stunning trees. All rooms come equipped with a kitchen, which was a huge plus for preparing quick meals—perfect for families! The space was generous and comfortable. 🍽️ While some restaurants in the Gap were closed due to the off-season, we found plenty of affordable dining options nearby. The food truck just outside the resort had delicious selections, and we especially loved our experience at Pure Oceans Breeze. Though on the pricier side, the quality of the food and impeccable service made it well worth the splurge. Don’t miss their happy hour from 12:00–1:00 and 4:00–5:00, with half-price drinks and a chance to try some unique flavors. Note that due to off-season the bar close to the main pool was closed but they had staff coming by to take orders. The resort also features a beachside pool that provided the best of both worlds—easy dips in the ocean and relaxing swims in the pool. Be aware that the waves can be strong at times, and seaweed was present on a couple of days but was promptly cleaned up. Families traveling with kids should keep a close eye near the shore. For budget-friendly eats, head down the Gap toward the left side of the beach—places like Daddy’s offered great value. Overall, a memorable and relaxing getaway with incredible hospitality. Huge thanks to the entire staff for making our stay so special! Read less

This resort is located in the perfect location on a beautiful stretch of the beach. There are many small local delicious restaurants, shops and vendors all within walking distance. We felt very safe. People and the resort staff were friendly and helpful. The resort was well maintained and absolutely lovely. Our penthouse #2 was a two story two bedroom one and one half bath sweet with beautiful views. It was a great value for the cost. The only downside was the shower water pressure is lower than what we are accustomed to, so it takes longer to rinse off. This resort is a great value for the money! Read less
