Star rating

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.

Great location. Beautiful well maintained grounds leading right up to beach/sea. Lovely one bed well equipped unit with sitting room/kitchenette serviced daily. Polite helpful staff always there to make sure you have the most enjoyable vacation. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Divi Southwinds.

Back home after another 3 week stay at Southwinds. As others have said the grounds are kept superbly and all the staff are so friendly and helpful making you feel you are really important to them. The 3 pools are kept very clean too. However all this was spoilt by our very tired room on the 4th floor. The shower had very little pressure and the toilet never did flush properly! The furniture is very much in need of replacement. On arrival we found the sliding door wouldn't open but was fixed within a couple of days. A big disappointment was the Pure Ocean bar/restaurant being closed for the whole time we were there - the temporary bar set up on the beach only offering beer and rum punch. We have been staying at Southwinds many times over the past 35 years but will not return until we here there has been a major refurbishment. Read less

Divi Southwinds was a gem of a place to stay. We had a wonderful time and all of the staff were friendly, helpful and just plain awesome. Several of the staff members went out of there way to make our vacation one to remember. During our stay my boyfriend's birthday came up and while we were away enjoying a dinner entertainment package they snuck in and left a big piece of cake, champagne and a birthday card. Needless to say my boyfriend was beyond impressed. A special thanks to Shanica and Remar (bartenders), Aimira (front desk) and Tyrone (excursion booker)!! We will definitely be back! Read less
