Barbados, Caribbean

3 stars

Dover Beach Hotel is a great base on Barbados’ lively south coast, steps from Maxwell Beach, and Dover Beach, you are within walking distance of the restaurants, bars and entertainment of St Lawrence Gap. This family-owned hotel keeps things relaxed and welcoming, with brightly coloured buildings, tropical gardens and a choice of rooms, studios and one-bedroom accommodation across three distinct blocks. Two freshwater pools and an oceanfront sundeck make sunny days wonderfully straightforward, while the fitness centre and spa give you a few more ways to switch off or work up an appetite. Sea Grape Bar & Restaurant serves Caribbean and international flavours beside the water, so dinner comes with an easy-going island backdrop. Studios and one-bedroom options come with handy kitchen facilities, giving couples, families and friends a little more space and flexibility, especially for longer stays. Standard Rooms are a great choice for keeping things simple. And when you’re ready to turn the volume up, St Lawrence Gap is just a stroll away.

“Good Friendly Hotel.”

My husband and I used the Dover Beach Hotel for a one night stay both at the beginning and end of our island hopping trip to St Martin and Anguilla. We used Virgin and they fly into Barbados. We were looking for something that was not too expensive and in a good location to the airport and with a beachfront location. The Dover Beach fitted the bill. The hotel was really friendly ...the staff were really helpful and warm. Nothing was too much trouble The rooms were big airy and spotless...very comfortable. The facilities at the hotel were just what we needed. Great bar and resturant. The beds were really comfortable We had a great stay despite having limited time. The beach views are lovely despite the sea being choppy. A good cost effective solid choice.

“Dover Beach hotel in St Lawrence Gap.”

It was a nice experience for a tropical Christmas, located on the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even gave us a lovely (and unexpected) Christmas gift. The food was good and the welcome rum punch party included fresh, tasty finger food. The price was so affordable that I'll be going back in August to celebrate my birthday. The room met my requirements to be CLEAN and QUIET! Although I did have to walk up a flight to my room it wasn't too bad. I had a small fridge and microwave. The lock box was a minimal daily charge. I did an in-house massage which was very relaxing. St. Lawrence Gap is loaded with places to go for more entertainment and beaches and a supermarket nearby.
