Bougainvillea Barbados

Great for families with young kids.

The service was touch and go. The hotel has no elevator so expect to drag your belongings up flights of stairs. No complementary water anywhere and no one cares to provide you with any. The pool was full of kids and the grounds were old and ugly. The hotel is so dated and the rooms were dull and old. The beach is ok but there are much prettier beaches in Barbados. The food at the cafe was mediocre and it’s their only restaurant. All in all totally disappointment.

We loved the hotel to stay in. It’s very convenient for a young family and fussy eaters to have their own kitchen to prepare food in. The place was clean, room service also was brilliant. The pools and beach are amazing at this place. Only wish someone would have warned me about the whistling frogs!!

Great for families with infants.

Beautiful property with very friendly and professional staff. Room was comfortable, meals were delicious (including vegetarian options). Beach was wonderful and we appreciated the outstanding staff there who engaged with our kids, loaned shovels, buckets, boogie boards, etc. A very positive experience.

There is a reason this property gets so many return visitors. It is smaller and more intimate than many of its neighbors, with a great private beach and many pools. The food is excellent. The staff is so friendly, especially Lisbeth in the restaurant and Wayne, who provides transport to and from the airport. Mostly families and folks that don’t stay up all night drinking and partying. A real hidden gem, we are already planning our next visit.

From the day we arrived we were made to feel special by all of the staff. The room was excellent and they had equipped it with a baby cot and nappy bin. The hotel is beautifully presented and all the staff were kind, attentive and made us feel very welcome. Special mentions for Rasheem, Vivian and Lisbeth who were great with our hound daughter.

Mixed bag. Slightly musky room with gloomy brown aesthetics. Most staff was great except a Grumpy lady in the restaurant one evening. Didn’t appreciate the fact that they have no coffee, tea nor cream in the room. When asked they said they aren’t an all inclusive but that is really the most basic messaging in a hotel. Some rooms aren’t really ocean view at all. The set up of the rooms are great though. Initially upgraded to a one bedroom which was fabulous but no ocean view. Right in front of the pool. Our flight was cancelled so we rebooked again and this time the junior suite was truly an ocean view. Perfectly big enough too. Unfortunately check in was so so because our initial room had a non functioning a/c. But they moved us right away and the bell man was very personable. Lots of kids here so if you want an adult vacation, heck out the sandals next door maybe. Also a little far form town. Restaurant was limited and not worth the price. Try Deia next door. Better view, better food. Slightly overpriced though. Solid 3.5/5.
