Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

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.

My experience was perfect at Time Out. I will definitely be going back. No-one was bothering you. Towels was available when ever you needed. Room cleaned daily. Bar and restaurant downstairs, perfect.

The place was in a prime spot and we enjoyed the cleanliness of the hotel. The customer service was quite good and I must recognize Alex for his exceptional service. It was my husband's birthday celebration and Liandra ensured our needs were met, even before we got there. The hotel needs to be disability friendly in the time we live in and it's unreasonable for persons to lift luggage up the flights of steps.....from observation. Read less

All staff members were friendly from the time we arrived to our departure. They gave great suggestions on where to eat, drink and party. The room was nice and had direct access to the pool. Plus the location is walking distance to restaurants and convenient stores. I'd definitely stay here again.
