Island Inn is a quaint, 24-room, All Inclusive property situated less than a mile from the centre of Historic Bridgetown and within the Garrison Area — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel is footsteps away from the beach at the beautiful Carlisle Bay and Pebbles Beach where the horses come and bathe early morning, and is conveniently close to shops and restaurants. Island Inn will amaze you with its disarming simplicity and old world charm, it was originally built as the rum storage facility for the British regiment in Barbados in 1804! Take advantage of your free scuba diving demo in the pool before hitting the big blue, discovering an underwater world that’s just as beautiful as what lies above! The swimming pool makes a change from the beach and is a charming place to lounge beside, soaking up the sun or reading a good book. There’s also The Boardwalk Restaurant for eclectic dining, serving dishes regarded as very special by locals and guests alike. Evenings tend to be very low key although there is live music three times a week plus a weekly manager’s rum punch party to meet and mingle with fellow guests.

“Island Inn Hotel … a little gem!”

Nov 12, 2025Roeys12

Well …. What a lovely little gem! With only few rooms everyone gets to know each other, and we made friends for life! 🥰 The food is outstanding and Sherry-Ann our regular waitress couldn’t do enough for us ❤️ always ensuring the rum and raisin ice cream was on the menu! 🤣 The hotel is generally quiet which was lovely and the evening entertainment was on only a few times during our stay, but was quality! The staff in this hotel were all lovely, however the bar staff were missing on a few occasions 🤣 the mosquitoes however were not ! OMG we were eaten alive 🤣 our room was comfortable and kept clean daily, we were by the pool and felt like we had a private pool most of the time, we were also only a couple of minutes from the beach 😊 All in all a lovely trip and would definitely recommend this place and the island, although would have to sort the mosquitoes! 🤣 xx

“Great stay in a friendly hotel”

Oct 21, 2025Laurence E

My wife and I travelled with friends, who were celebrating their golden wedding, as were we. We all loved the Island Inn. The small and intimate feel certainly helped make the holiday and you were never short of interesting people to chat to. We found the staff were friendly and attentive - and some were very much part of the fun (special mention for Terry and Elsie). I could quibble about small things but, when I say that the top two are the red wine being served warm and the dress code being a myth, you should realise that I really have nothing to complain about. We found the food good, although some nights were better than others. The room sizes are generous (although an extra light wouldn't go amiss). It's well worth a visit to the sister hotels at the Sands and Mango Bay but Pebbles Beach is probably better than either. There aren't actually many pebbles there and, if you are a snorkeller, you can see almost as many fish under the pier as you can at the Marine Nature Park.
