One of the hallmarks of any holiday in Barbados is a night at Oistins’ famous Fish Fry – and you are just a stroll from all the action (and a short drive from lively St Lawrence Gap for other nights out). Enjoy direct access to two fabulous white powder beaches laid out either side by of this seafront hotel. The iridescent blue waters of the Caribbean may be tempting, but you can also take a dip in the freshwater swimming pools – or head up to the raised circular patio for a soak in its trio of waterfront whirlpools or relax on the ample sunning areas with loungers and umbrellas. The sea views steal the show at The Reef Bar & Grill too, with its new seaside deck providing the perfect backdrop for Caribbean dishes, and for its weekly rum punch parties and barbecues accompanied by steel pan sounds. You can see why the Butterfly Beach Hotel is a great value for money resort in Barbados and a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner.

Communication prior to our visit was mainly with Hannah, who could not have been more helpful. Our room was more than adequate (just lacked enough sunshine), the pool was immaculate and the staff were a delight. It’s no surprise that so many guests return year after year. We will be back!

Spent a week here for new year after a weeks cruise. The location is great, a lovely beach with plenty of beds. Had a Seaview room which was simple but clean and the bed was huge and very comfortable. We were half board and the quality of the food was good and good portion size. We rush around alot at home so it's difficult to slow to barbadian time. Yes we waited a while for drinks and food but nothing spoiled and the staff were not standing around. Good value for money if you look at the prices nearby hotels were charging. Would I come back yes. Is it a luxury hotel no but a nice size and friendly Read less
Beautiful hotel with a heart.

Wonderful. Fantastic locations. Great beach. Completely self contained resort. The staff works tirelessly to make sure that guests are happy. The manager Pamela Gibbs woke up in the middle of the night to make sure that my family was taken care of. I would definitely go back.
A pleasant and comfortable hotel

We are staying here for a week prior to joining a Marella Cruise (TUI) - just myself and my 10yr old son. I came with realistic expectations - I knew it was basic and it was a 3* not a 5*. I emailed beforehand to check my room had twin beds and got a prompt and helpful reply from the reservations, which was a nice start. Our room is basic… Read more
We are staying here for a week prior to joining a Marella Cruise (TUI) - just myself and my 10yr old son. I came with realistic expectations - I knew it was basic and it was a 3* not a 5*. I emailed beforehand to check my room had twin beds and got a prompt and helpful reply from the reservations, which was a nice start. Our room is basic but comfortable - two comfortable beds, cold and effective air con, a spacious room, fridge, large bathroom, balcony. Yes it’s dated, but it’s homely. And the view from my balcony across the sea is extraordinary! It suited our needs perfectly well. My room didn’t have a kitchenette and if I came again I’d get a room with cooking facilities, as I did struggle with food in Barbados as everything island wide is beige, fried, carbs, processed or filled with sugar. But that’s another story! I read some reviews saying the breakfast was amazing and others saying it was terrible - so I didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. There’s a row of hot trays containing American pancakes, sausage, bacon (American style) and then eggs which change every day (fried, scrambled, omlette) To the right of this is the continental section with toast, cake/croissant, fresh fruit and some cereals (cornflakes and bran flakes which I really enjoyed!) Orange juice is also available but it’s not fresh orange but “juice drink” - it tastes fine though. Some natural yogurt would have been nice and doesn’t cost a lot from what I saw in the supermarket. And maybe more jam selection. We did find servers were never in any hurry, you’d be sat 20 minutes before anyone offered you a coffee or a knife and fork and sometimes I just got up and got it myself to save time - however this may just be a Barbados thing because it was the same everywhere we went. Maybe us Brits are just always in a hurry? We only ate in the hotel one evening, for the bbq as by day 5 I was desperate for unprocessed meat and salad. It was good value at $70BBD (half for kids) and you got chicken, steak or fish and then various salad and sides. Some people have commented on the lack of entertainment at night and it closing early but it suited us perfectly, I don’t really drink and we are usually fast asleep by 9٫30/10. There’s a free car park with plenty of spaces for a hire car, we used Hills Car Rental who were excellent ($310BBD for 3 days) All things considered the hotel deserves a 4/5, a couple of minor things that could be easily improved but otherwise a clean, comfortable, enjoyable base for a low cost trip to Barbados and I would stay here again if the price was right Read less
