South Gap Hotel

a week ago

This is our third stay, and to be honest, it’s probably going to be the only place we ever stay (when not renting a villa anyway) I genuinely feel that the hotel rating should be upgraded. The hotel is much more than a 3* Staff - from the wonderful room maids, to the restaurant and bar staff and receptionists alike, the vibe is just joyful and helpful. We often leave a large tip at the end of the stay rather than daily. Restaurant - the food is bloody fantastic and has been for the past 3 years. Not only is it great, with a wonderful selection, it is also really well priced. (Don’t tell the owner) Bedrooms - honestly, due an update, especially the bedroom draws and kitchen draws, but they are extremely comfortable, nicely made up beds each day. The rooms are very clean. The shower pressure is awesome, and the aircon is always working great. The balcony’s overlooking the sea and pool are an absolute joy, something I miss every time we leave. The room maids, we just love them. They work so hard and are wonderful to chat too. The Pool - HEAVEN - although I think some maintenance to the upper level of the perimeter would be very worth while investment, just to make it look spotless. I have claimed the left corner of the steps to sit in the shallow water and read, SO STAY AWAY. By the way - the new sun lounger and furniture are sublime. You won’t even find this quality at Sandy Lane! I’m going to tell you - for the money, you’re really NOT going to stay anywhere better. I have tried and it’s just not the same. To all the TEAM - keep being great. To the OWNER - make sure you keep looking after the people who make your guests so happy! Best wishes and a happy new year Ben and Giles Campbell-Nash

Everything about this property has been perfect. The staff Shareka at the front desk was informative and Lana from housekeeping was superb. I would recommending staying here and if you do decide staying get the ocean view as it’s breath taking. The upkeep of the property was great, everyday the staff cleans which I loved to see. The location was great, especially if you are looking for dancing and food. Thank you team and if I had to visit I would definitely stay at the South Gap again.

This was my first time visiting Barbados, and this hotel exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Shakeeta and Sharieka were especially kind and patient they went above and beyond to help me book excursions and dinner reservations, which took a lot of the stress off and allowed me to truly enjoy my birthday. Exceptional staff like them are the reason people come back. Honestly, they deserve a raise! Jeremy (I believe that was his name) at the bar he had braids was also super friendly and added to the relaxed vibe. The pool area was the best part & gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. I also loved all the amenities in the room. Housekeeping did an amazing job. I'm very particular about cleanliness, and the room was spotless, smelled fresh, and the AC was perfectly cold. I gave 4 stars because the only downside was the cable channels and Wi-Fi, which were a bit spotty & cut completely out during my stay. But overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable, chic hotel experience in Barbados. I’ll definitely be back & tell my family and friends to stay here!

Went here for a week and I couldn’t be more happy with this location. It’s got an absolutely stunning view of the ocean, the rooms are fantastic, and the staff are incredible & so friendly. The pool area is nice and relaxing, and even though the hotel was sold out when I was there, there was never a moment where I couldn’t find a spot by the pool. Attached to the hotel is the Tropical Mist restaurant which has tons of delicious food. And surrounding the hotel are tons of different spots to hit whether you’re looking to have a good meal or party. I will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at the South Gap Hotel. The room was modern, spacious, with a fully stocked kitchenette (microwave and full fridge, no stove), a big comfortable bed, great bathroom, and powerful air conditioner. The views from our room were beautiful! If they can accommodate, ask for a ground floor room, it's a walkout to the pool patio and that was great. The best part of our stay was the staff. They truly made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. I have to thank Nicholas, one of the bartender/restaurant staff, for giving us exceptional customer service and going out of his way to make sure we were always confortable and fed! He even recommended excursions that really made our trip memorable. The front desk staff was also lovey. The only issue I experienced was that the hotel was noticeably understaffed. The housekeeping staff took quite a while to get to our room, with staff missing our room entirely one of the days we requested cleaning. We could see the 1-2 housekeeping staff were doing their best so this did not make or break our experience.
