The hotel

Ideally located on the south coast of Barbados, in the vibrant St. Lawrence Gap area, is the budget-friendly Time Out Hotel. Famed for its prime location you are steps away from the beautiful Dover Beach and next to Dover playing field - great if you fancy getting involved in a game of football with the locals, or joining in with any festivities during your holiday. Offering 76 rooms, you'll also find a bar, a restaurant, and a pool on the property, but what really impresses us is the friendly service and the genuine island warmth the minute you walk through the door.

Very good budget hotel. Great pool and very clean. Sabrina the housekeeper kept our room spotless and always had a smile. The only downside was the shower had very little pressure. Other than that we had a brilliant stay at Timeout with very attentive staff.

A great stay at this hotel. 20 ish mins from the airport, check in time a little later than other hotels at 4pm, but a very quick change and left luggage and headed over to Johnny Cool beach bar opposite for a few Banks beer on the beach. Check in then at 4 was fine, welcoming and friendly staff, Germaine was great, and helpful, but the 2 ladies who work on security stood out for me as excellent, always smiling, and welcoming, and whilst waiting for our taxi home on Mothers Day, we had free entertainment in the form of the security lady on duty, happily singing along to the music from the restaurant! haha Rooms were great, ours overlooking the pool, really comfortable beds, and spotless, great job by the team. Around the pool was lovely, would be a good idea for the Rhum Stop to maybe offer drinks service around there, as the place generally empty in the day, and there were always many people around the pool, just a thought...however their prices for drinks were considerably higher than others nearby We ate at Kandy bar/restaurant for breakfast, and some dinners, great prices and good food, also went over the Daddies bar, lovely Roti and behind that the "square" was great on certain nights, I think Sun and Tue, and the fish cakes were amazing from a little bar there Turn right and keep walking many bars and restaurants, Sharkies being a regular. Also turn right, and walk to top of the road for busses to Bridgetown and Oistins Fish Fri....AMAZING! on the Friday night, a must visit!!!! Read less

This is a great little hotel with lovely comfy rooms and great staff, we stayed for 10 nights and we loved the location, the pool, the cleanliness of the rooms, our cleaner Sabrina was so lovely and her cleaning was excellent. We had a fantastic time in Barbados and would definitely recommend this hotel as a great base
