The Southern Palms Beach Club and Hotel is spread out along 1,000 ft of oceanfront at St Lawrence Gap, so it has the best of both worlds. There are spacious grounds in which to relax and unwind during the day and then lively restaurants, shops and bars just a 5-minute walk away for evening entertainment! You can look out over the Caribbean Sea as you dine in the Garden Terrace restaurant and, on Sundays, people come from all over the island to enjoy the wonderful Sunday buffet lunch — accompanied by live music.

The only disappointing part (and no fault of the hotel) was the large cumulations of seaweed daily. Such a stunning beach but we did not use it because of this. We went to Savvy on the Bay and Pebbles to get our beach fix.
However, we had a wonderful stay as always and would love to return one day soon 🇧🇧❤️

The hotel is excellent location. On one off the best beach’s. Never gets busy. The reception staff ( some ) could be more friendly. As there the first port of call. Rest off staff very friendly. Very clean . The rooms are dated but perfect for Barbados. Excellent air conditioning. Fridge freezer in room. Food in restaurant very nice. Don’t be in a rush as it’s so relaxed. On the beach every day. No need to rush for beds as plenty

Nice beach, shame about the service.

The staff manage to combine indifference with rudeness, offering the bare minimum unless there’s a rule to enforce. In those moments, their enthusiasm is suddenly impressive.
Fun & Sun in Barbados!

My stay at this property exceeded my expectations! The staff members are consummate professionals who extended themselves to accommodate my needs during my stay. A huge “Thank You!” to the following front desk agents: Caroline, Jenni, and Shakeem, and Makayla in Food & Beverage. They ensured that I enjoyed a fantastic stay! This property is located on a quiet, pristine stretch of beach, although the current can be a bit strong occasionally. My room had fantastic views of the ocean and was just steps away from the beach. Overall, I enjoyed a fun and relaxing stay at this property, and highly recommended Southern Palms Beach Club to anyone who visits Barbados! Thanks for a memorable stay! 😁
