We had such an amazing stay at Bougainvillea Barbados! The staff truly went above and beyond to make my son Asher’s birthday unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. A very special thank you to Akousa, Channel, Tenar, Shanell, Rachel, Tiana, Miranda, Obadele, Anna and everyone at the bar & restaurants - each of you played a part in making our experience so memorable. Whether it was the thoughtful touches for my son’s celebration or the extra effort to make sure we felt at home, your kindness did not go unnoticed. The resort itself is beautiful, but it’s the people who make it extraordinary. We’ll always remember the way you all came together to make this trip special for our family. I can’t recommend Bougainvillea Barbados enough—if you’re looking for a place where the staff treats you like family and creates lasting memories, this is it -Nash & Hema Read less

The nearest one is about a 20 min walk Other than that there is nothing to criticise, great location, really clean, very comfy beds and great aircon Highly highly recommended Read less

My family and I just spent 4 nights / 5 days at the lovely Bougainvillea Barbados, and we cannot recommend it more highly. The resort was beautiful, and the staff were attentive, friendly, and professional. From delicious meals at the on-site restaurant (where they were able to accommodate our gluten-free needs) to expert help from the guys at the Water Sports desk, we enjoyed every minute. A big shout out goes to Ronaldo, who took me and my teenage sons on a sea kayaking / snorkeling adventure. This resort is perfectly located because you have everything you need on the property, but you are also a quick walk to Dover to get snacks, coffee, or breakfast / lunch from local cafes. And you can easily get a cab to Oistins, Carlisle Bay, or further afield for other island adventures. We ate some meals at the hotel, had some meals offsite, and also bought some groceries at the Massys in Oistins (walked there and took a taxi back) so we could have easy breakfasts / lunches / snacks in our room. We all loved the trip and hope we can go back. And we were there in the off / rainy season, but the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Read less
