NewEdgewater - Barbados 13.21563, -59.53274

If you're looking for tranquility - the NewEdgewater is the place...whether you are sunbathing by the pool or at the sea. Restaurant food is a bit expensive and the menu is limited, however quality is good. Staff is friendly and courteous. Hotel is located a bit out the way, so you will have to walk a bit to get to public transportation.

unique location great for surfers and nature lovers. the staff is friendly and helpful. the views are million dollar. don't expect the hilton, but this is basically the best value for your money on barbados.

Newedgewater has a stunning location and I believe is the only hotel in the area with a pool, which considering that the sea is too rough and rocky for swimming is a bonus. My room which was the honeymoon suite was incredibly spacious and comfortable and had amazing sea views, however the rest of the hotel and grounds are rather tired and in need of some refurbishment. In general it was clean and comfortable and the staff accommodating though I only found out whilst meeting the kitchen staff departing the hotel that the kitchen was being shut down at 6pm due to lack of guests. As there are few restaurants/ shops in Bathsheba and on a Sunday none of them open in the evening you need to plan ahead if you don't want to go hungry! If you're looking for tranquility, stunning views and enjoy surfing you will love Bathsheba it's not somewhere to go for the nightlife. Lastly, I would recommend having a car as the location is a little isolated although I did find the bus service from Bathsheba reliable but only serves Bridgetown and Speightstown.

Considering the rate I paid, I can't complain... but unless you're a surfer, this hotel is not in a "prime" location. It's clean and fairly well-kept, but there's no denying the fact that the hotel is just ... old. There isn't much by way of TV, if that matters to you; and the phone system was all screwed up so that calls did not get routed to my room. I spoke to the front desk about it, and they told me that it was all sorted out, but it never was resolved throughout my stay (which resulted in an enormous cell phone bill for me). But, like I said, it was good for the money.

if you want a hotel out of the way the new edgewater is for you.being on the atlantic coast the sea can be rough which is why it is good for surfing.being a small island the beaches on the caribbean side are only a 30 minute car ride away.here the beaches have white sand and are calm and crystal clear.the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. my room was a good size with a balcony right on the sea front.the bed was made up every day and the room cleaned.the pool was good and the water clean. breakfast was included, toast,cereal,fruit etc. or you can choose off the menu.car hire is available at reception and i would recomend this. overall the new edgewater is a good hotel with charachter. the people of barbados are always friendly and helpful, i will definetely be back. almost forgot, i never complained once.

This hotel is a 1/2 hour and $35 ride from the airport, and although it sits on the Countryside, it is on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We woke up to a Continental breakfast on the water everyday. If you're brave enough, you should rent a car and travel the entire island! The staff will set you up with whatever you need and is extremely friendly.
