For what you pay for this, it’s not worth it as this hotel is not upscale at all. The beach access saved everything about it. The pool bar was lovely and the beach access was great but the restaurant and comfortability of the rooms were not worth the money. It did not feel luxurious at all for something that cost luxury pricing.

What a fantastic experience we had staying at Bougainvillea Barbados, the staff are fantastic from the front desk,bar staff,cleaners etc etc including the Calabash restaurant next door, we had an amazing time and this holiday experience will never be forgotten.The hotel itself,the grounds are amazing with plentiful colours surrounding the walkways around the hotel. The front desk was always happy and talkative including the bell boys who looked after your luggage . There's only one downside of this hotel, there's no lift to the higher rooms but the porters are amazing and you don't have to lift a finger, so no problem regarding getting your luggage up and down stairs. This was an unforgettable hotel and the hotel made it even better, thanks Bougainvillea for looking after us 5*****+ service and experience. Read less

This was our first time to the Barbados and our travel agent recommended Bougainvillea through AC Vacations. What a great resort it turned out to be! Very clean rooms, the grounds were lovely, the service was superb on all levels. Very friendly and professional staff and always willing to accommodate our requests. The activities concierge coordinated a private driver / taxi for our outings as well as reserved our tours and dinner. They were all so very helpful and always with a smile. The beach and pool had plenty of space, chairs and towels, we were never disappointed. Calabash restaurant had plenty of options; the food and service was very good. The evening entertainment was enjoyable. The location was walking distance to the St Lawrence Gap where we could take in some night life and souvenir shopping. Overall great experience! Read less

Place is awful. Not responsive to request for early check in. Pool bar staff no personality. Never come here again.

We had the most amazing holiday at the Bougainvillea, we are already looking at when we can come back! The hotel and our room were amazing, beautiful views, well maintained and very clean, perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults 2 girls age 9 and 7). The hotel is on the beach which was perfect for us, and the watersports available at the hotel made our kids very happy! The watersports team were so helpful too. All of the staff at the hotel were so lovely, we miss them already, especially Lisbeth and everyone in Calabash 🩷. We also enjoyed Deia Beach club (and had far too many cocktails there 😆) what a beautiful place. The evening entertainment was amazing too, especially Rum Fire on Friday which was spectacular. Our kids were besotted with the cat family you have there and we were so happy to see they looked so well cared for. I can’t say enough nice things about this place - we will definitely be returning ☺️ Read less
