The hotel

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 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.

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! 😁 Read less

Good and bad points listed below; Good * Very clean * Beach (not sea) is beautiful * Situated in the middle of St Lawrence Gap (this could be a double edged sword...) * No problem with getting a sun lounger * Pools OK * Late checkout room great Bad * Staff are generally stand-offish and slow, appreciate that this is the Caribbean way but this was taking it to the extreme. Notable exceptions are Jenni, Richard, the Water sports guy and most of the cleaning staff. * St Lawrence Gap isn't a very nice area in my opinion and there are limited options for things to do in the evening. The bars aren't great and the restaurants shut far too early. There is a general feeling of something potentially kicking off at any moment and lots of locals trying to sell you weed/aloe vera/jewellery/tours. Just doesn't feel 100% safe. * Rooms are dated. * Food and drinks are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. This is a general comment for all of Barbados, bring plenty of money. * Breakfast underwhelming and not worth anywhere near the price charged. * BBQ night hugely overpriced and not very good. * The sea in this area (Dover Beach) is consistently too rough to swim in, we had red flags 10 days out of 11. It is also very windy on the beach. We travelled up the West coast and the sea was far calmer and it was a lot less windy. This isn't the hotel's fault but worth knowing before you book. * Very boring around the hotel of an evening (not that we usually stay in the hotel at night but sometimes it's nice to have a break from going out), entertainment a couple of nights a week but the clientele are mostly older people. Would we return? Yes to Barbados but we would stay on the West coast in a nicer resort. We did have a good time at Southern Palms (believe it or not!) but for the money we spent, we expect more.

From the atmosphere to the live music to the happy hour ( 6pm-7pm ) , to the Southern Platter ( starter ) to the serrvice , it was absolutely top tier and honestly can’t wait to go again ! We didn’t have mains because we were stuffed tbh . Our server for the evening/night was Ms. Corren and she was such a sweet lady ; also was attended to by Abigail and Suzette and they were also very nice . 100 % would recommend anyone to go and experience there🥰!
