As always, Bougainvillea exceeds expectations and we don't want to leave! The room is spotless and the ladies do a great job with housekeeping. All staff were helpful and we enjoyed the food. This is a very special hotel with a relaxed vibe and stunning beach. We ate at Deia on our final night and enjoyed the catch of the day ( amberjack). Shout out to Basil for the beautiful plant life and to Vivian for hard work at the bar, including keeping everything sparkling.
We love the island and the people and we will be back!!

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! place is old. Half of the things here do not work. Restaurant on site is horrible. And the restaurant next door, which belongs to the owners Son, is horribly worse. They even ran out of cheeseburgers. The staff are unfriendly and hardly ever smile. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing place , this is not it. The thumping music goes on till quite late. And the pool bar will stay open until ….Ive stayed at other places on this island which I enjoyed very much. Don’t waste your RCI POINTS HERE. .

Nice but could be better

We stayed for 14 days over half term, having booked direct.
Room was ok, second bed was just a pullout sofa bed which creaked & groaned so much my daughter ended up sharing with me. Fortunately the other bed was massive!

We stayed for 14 days over half term, having booked direct.
Room was ok, second bed was just a pullout sofa bed which creaked & groaned so much my daughter ended up sharing with me. Fortunately the other bed was massive!
The first few days we were woken at 0700 by next door’s microwave going ‘ping ping ping’ but fortunately they then left.
Kitchen was useful; well, we used the fridge to store drinks, im not cooking etc on holiday!
Rooms were cleaned almost every day & cleaning staff were polite & friendly, as were reception staff.
Air con was efficient,
Balcony had insufficient chairs for number of guests.
Pools are small and half are adult only so it’s quite limited for children.
Pool bar is lovely but a real mix of staff… Joshua was super friendly, & Nathan was great… but Vivian, wow, what a misery. He should NOT be in a customer facing role.
Calabash on site restaurant was a disappointment; very expensive and very limited choice. Deia beach next door was reasonably priced but the chicken burger was horrible.
Weather was lovely; 30° the whole time. Some seaweed on the beach but not too bad. I do recommend a high-DEET anti mosquito spray.
Cool Runnings catamaran trip was awesome, and flower forest was amazing as was the monkey reserve!!
Highly recommend for food:
Savvy
Champers
Harlequin
Mimosa
New China Garden
Would I go back? No. I feel I’ve seen Barbados now & there a whole world to visit.

Beautiful beachfront location. We were here the week of Mother's Day. Roslyn greeted us with a smile and checked us in and provided us with information and cash exchange during the week and was always pleasant. They tagged and secured our luggage while we ate at Calabash for lunch while waiting for our rooms. We were told that we would get an email when are rooms were ready but that did not happen. We had to keep going to the front desk to check.
We stayed in a Jr. Suite on the 3rd floor with great views of the pool and beach areas. Our room was clean and well maintained by housekeeping during our stay.
On Mother's Day, Calabash had a fixed buffet menu that we were not interested in, so we had lunch next door at Deia beach club and then dinner at a restaurant in the Gap.
Zawadi at the front desk arranged for a taxi to take us to several places for a day trip. She was always pleasant and friendly during several interactions.
The weekend was busy around the pools with every lounge chair taken and the pool bar was full of the same people all week. There was much better lounge chair availability after the weekend, but this was not a peak week. I would imagine the chair situation would be stressful during busier times but there is always a spot on the beach to setup.
Pool bar service by Jose and Vivian was excellent. The only issue was that they constantly ran out of wines and cranberry juice and there were no nonalcoholic offerings other than mixer/juices. We ordered lunch from Calabash directly from the pool bar and it was delivered to our table takeout style.
My wife enjoyed the hot/cold rock massage at Karma spa and rated as one of the best ever. A friend also enjoyed her regular massage although the spa is a very small area. The gym was well setup and clean.
There are a few cats that roam the property and, in the restaurant. They do walk on the lounge chairs and towels but remarkably stay off of the tables.
Pros:
Close to airport
Beachfront with water sports
Umbrellas and chairs can be set up anywhere on the beach
Restaurant on site
Clean and well maintained
Friendly service
Nightly poolside entertainment
No Kids at Adult Pool enforced
Pool was clean and well maintained
Cons:
Water is rough. Need to go next door to Sandals to go in the water near the breakers. Couldn't use any watersports options due to red flag all week
Constant, all day and night smell of food cooking whether on the beach or in the pool due to restaurant location.
Limited menu at Calabash and other close by (walkable) restaurants are very limited and hours vary.
No elevators if you have mobility issues
