South Gap Hotel

great area, close to beaches, staff very friendly

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The pool side outdoor dining area overlooks the sea. There is no beach access from the hotel as the hotel sits on the very edge of the sea. There is no sand; just the water crashing at the side of the property. It's beautiful, really. The staff did not wear uniforms but they were easily identified by their willingness to assist. There are no on-site […] activities at the hotel other than the slots arcade but, in St. Lawrence Gap there is plenty night life, street activity, restaurants and beach access. Read more

'awsome'', exactly what I was looking for, the music put me to sleep, nothing is perfect, I will recommend any one here, WOW! SOUTH GAP HOTEL! U WILL SURELY SEE ME AGAIN

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The only saving grace for this hotel was the spectacular ocean view of the room. The hotel is old and it shows its age. Some serious renovations / refurbishments are required. I also appreciated the kitchenette as I was able to save money by preparing some of my own meals. There is also a safe in the room, which, for me, is mandatory There is a karaoke […] bar directly across the street, and though this is not within the control of the hotel, hearing bad karaoke until 3 am almost every night is not the ideal situation. The hotel is centrally located in the gap and close to Dover beach, whcih is one of the top 10 beaches on the island. There is not direct to the beach from the hotel, but this is not really a problem as access to the beach is less than five minutes away. The two happy hours during the course of the day are good value for money. If you are on a strict budget this hotel would be for you. If you have some financial flexibility, don't stay here; it should not be rated more than 1 and one half stars. Read more

Generally, it's a good package for the price. My only complaint is the bathroom. It is too small. I had to stand side ways to take a bath and I am a very small lady

This hotel and it's staff is one of the better place to star is Barbados I stayed there for 5 days the place was clean and the front desk people was very helpful and the hotel is in the heart of the night life.

This hotel is straight to the point. If you're looking for a room to stay in with minimal interference from the staff, it's an excellent choice. The view of the ocean and the pool/restaurant area are beautiful. The staff were also helpful in terms of helping us around the island but you should really do your research before arriving about the best beaches, […] restaurants, etc. The only two issues we had were the noise from the karaoke bar across the street (it's karaoke night Monday through Wednesday from 11-3 AM!), and the bed was SUPER uncomfortable. The mattress was really thin and the bedding was old and scratchy. Other than those two drawbacks, the hotel was great for the price we paid. Read more

It wasn't a fancy commercial resort tucked away on large land surrounded by golf courses. It wasn't decorated with expensive furnishings. All inclusive drinks and a buffet morning, noon and night wasn't an option. NO Beach?!??!!! Aside from the fact that the bars/clubs were all next to each other made the loud music mixed with Karaoke most annoying […] from 11:30pm to 3:00am. There wasn't many guess, It was simply what we need for quiet place to relax! Overall experience was "Pleasing" Read more

Quite a bit of noise until late in the evening due to street entertainment

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very nice, excellent ocean view and very nice hotel service personnel. AC worked well along with a comfortable bed and kitchenette. Our only complaints were no hot water some mornings and a lousy shower head. Location was great for entertainment and dining. Dover beach was an easy walk.

Very good location. Nice hotel for the price. Staff was very accomodating and pleasant. Have no problem staying here if/when I go back to Christ Church/Barbados.

The hotel proided good accommodations and all of our needs were met in a satisfactory manner. We were able to make our own breakfast using the supplies proided which was a plus. We had easy access to the beach, restaurants, and entertainment . . . for a weekend get away, we couldn't ask for more. The staff was very helpful and the lady bartender in […] the restaurant makes absoluely, hands-down, the best rum punch! Read more

Spent a few days at South Gap, very ideal location to get transportation and right in St. Lawrence Gap with lots of activity. Taxis are right outside the hotel or just a 5 mins stroll to get a maxi or bus. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. Lovely view of the ocean. Wasn't impressed by the pool and restaurant so didn't make use of it, however […] room had a small kitchenette with cooker, kettle, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave and all utensiles. Made my own breakfast and sat on my porch overlooking the ocean. Wonderful way to wake up. Staff were friendly and helpful especially the receptionist at the front desk. There was also a hospitality lounge where you could stay after check out at no extra cost if you have a later flight. And as a female travelling alone, I felt very safe there. It was worth the stay and I found it to be pretty affordable as well. Read more

We were concerned due to reviews about the music in the Gap. Upon our arrival we originally had the typical studio room. These rooms are small, however, I am 6'4" 265 lbs, so all rooms are small. From that room you could hear the music, but just barely, and if you closed the bath windows, and door, you heard nothing. The next morning we asked to see […] one of the first floor jr. suites. These are great, and a cheap upgrade. I would highly recommend starting there, for an extended stay. You walk right out to the patio area, and the ocean. The staff was incredible. We stayed 8 nights, and by the 2nd day the staff all knew us. They were so helpful. We switched to the South Gap, about 10 days prior, from another hotel on the Gap. We just thought we would like the view better. Boy am I glad we did. This is not a luxury resort. This is as advertised a 2 star hotel. There is a bar/restaurant, whose staff was extremely friendly, as they were right next door to our room. We are in our late 30's and do not drink or party much anymore. This was just perfect for us. We are going back in a few months, and will be back at the South Gap, you just cant beat the locale and price. Walking distance to Dover Beach, and several restaurants, including the Harlequin right next door. There is security at night, a parking lot with private access for rental cars, and a police mobile home right in front. So I would say it is one of the safest places in Barbados. Read more

Besides the check-in process, everything went fine. The shower was lousy because whoever hung the curtain rod hung it way too far inside the shower area. Made the shower really small.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of the south gap hotel is perfect because it's rt there where all the action is however, if u don't plan on partaking in the club scene then this is not the hotel to stay at because u can ear the music as clear as day while in ur rm. All of the rms have ocean views and views of the strip. So u don't have to leave ur fl in order to c what's […] goin on on the strip. The hotel does not have a beach but they do have a nice size pool. The hotel nex door does have a beach although it is small. Would def stay here again. Staff were cordial and professional. Rms were nice and clean with French doors leading out onto the balcony. Read more

I had to booked this hotel very last minute. Literally hours before I checked in via hotel.com- so when I arrived at the hotel they didn't have a record of my reservation as yet but still allowed me to check-in and relax in the meantime which was WONDERFUL. My room had a single bed and fairly decent. My only complaint was that their was little room […] to get to the patio. Or do much else in the room. The furniture is too large in some of these single rooms and if you had a guest over- they'd need to practically climb over your bed in order to get to the patio (bed and desk only inches about hinder fitting through sometimes). I actually re-arranged some of the furniture during my stay so that I could be more comfortable. It worked out for short term purposes. This hotel is DIRECTLY across from clubs in the GAP. It's a catch 20/20- a convenient location if you want to party / hang in that area but a bit annoying when you want to go home and EVERYONE can see where you're going. They can even see you unlock your hotel door when you get up to your floor. Just a bit creepy but ok if you're traveling with friends. Read more

Friendly and nicely located hotel, little bit of noise from nearby nightlife but nothing to worry about, would recommend

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel will provide value for your money. The location is particularly good, especially if you like to party -- there's alot going on in "The Gap". Great for young couples & students. In our case, we're not the party types, so they relocated our room to the first floor which is much quieter than the top floor. We heard no noise at all from the […] clubs in the area. There are some great restaurants nearby, as well as shopping and of course, the beach -- everything is in walking distance. The staff is friendly, housekeeping does a great job keeping the room neat and clean. Read more

Staff is great, facility is nice. If you stay here you must know that you are in the middle of the Gap. The music and merriment carries on till the wee hours. Experienced a Brit couple trying to invoke noise bylaws over the whole area......C'mon, REALLY? Typical Brits.

Hotel was centrally located. Great desk staff, maids, bartenders, etc. Amazing views!! 5 min walk to the beach. Great pool and temp! Karaoke and bars were across the street...loud at night but we enjoyed them when we were there! Great vacation!!!

The hotel was much better than I thought it would have been. The front desk staff was very helpful including the night security men on duty.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Decided to book here even though I had read some bad reviews as the price and location was fantastic. The staff there was lovely the front desk receptionist Annabelle was fantastic, loads of knowledge and so helpful. We were in a junior suite and it was lovely lots of room and was lovely to walk straight out onto the pool area. Didnt hear a thing from […] the surrounding areas, but I can see that if you were in a studio room that it could be quite noisy as they do back onto the bar areas. I would highly recommend this hotel as it was great value for money, if you are going to spend alot of time in the room then this might not be for you as TV is a little old and small but was perfect for us as we were out exploring this beautiful island.

We found the hotel staff ,especially reception, to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms and facilities were clean and well maintained. Location was excellent if you want nightlife but can be noisy depending on the room. We really enjoyed our holiday and overall would return to this hotel.

Flott opphold. Blei oppgradert til en bedre leilighet, slik at vi slapp støyen fra karaokebaren som andre klaga på. Hyggelig betjening og FLOTT utsikt !

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hyvä sijainti, moitteeton palvelu ja erittäin hyvä varustetaso huoneessa omaa ruuanlaittoa varten. Viereisen karaokebaarin melu kuitenkin häiritsee öisin. Valitsisin seuraavalle reissulle saman hotellin, olimme tyytyväisiä.

We zijn voor de 1e keer in Barbados en met dit hotel is het helemaal genieten. Super mooi uitzicht op de zee. Je kunt lekker eten, zwemmen, goede airo, vriendelijke mensen. Als wij weer naar Barbados komen dan zullen wij hier weer verblijven.

Сам отель находится на улице для развлекательных мероприятий - каракоке бары, дискотеки, рядом спортбар, много кафешек и ресторанчиков на любой кошелек. В 10 минутах езды от столицы - Бриджтауна и в 6 минутах от г. Остин, где по пятницам проходит фишфестивали - интересное зрелище!!!!

Hotel limpo e com bela vista dos quartos...O local eh muito barulhento (sons dos bares em frente) Nao tem praia, isto é muito ruim. Para ir a praia deve-s pegar um onibus (USD 1.00). Cafe da manha eh caro (USD 14,00 completo) com poucas opcoes. Custo muito bom para quem procura um local bom

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was my 21st visit to Barbados, and as I hadn't stayed at this hotel since mid 90's it was very exciting to come back. Though the staff was new to me they had the same friendly and serviceminded attitude as the previous staff. I got a studio 3rd floor (as per request) with a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately this hotel doesn't have […] beach access, and I really missed the stairs down to the sea which used to be there about 12-15 years ago... Otherwise earplugs are recommended, cause otherwise it's quite difficult to fall asleep before 3 am due to the noise from "The Gap". However, that was just as expected (and of course not the hotel's fault). All in all a very pleasant stay and I will definately return to South Gap Hotel! :o) Read more
