Charming Hotel with Stunning Views and Prime Location I had the pleasure of staying at the South gap hotel and it exceeded all expectations. This beautiful hotel offers breathtaking views, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee or winding down after a day of exploring, the scenery alone makes it worth the visit. The location is unbeatable. It’s situated in a vibrant area with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance, which made evening outings super convenient. Plus, taxis and buses are easily accessible, so getting around the city was a breeze. The hotel itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. My room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated—everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views from my window were simply stunning, offering a peaceful escape amidst the city's energy. If you're looking for a combination of comfort, convenience, and incredible views, this hotel is an excellent choice. It might not have the flashy reputation of bigger hotels, but it's a gem worth discovering. Read less

We’ve just enjoyed Christmas and New Year at this fabulous hotel which was our second stay in the last year. The location on St Lawrence Gap is great with lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and close to some lovely beaches. The hotel food is excellent and very good quality, as are the drinks. What makes this place so special is the people who work here. Everybody works incredibly hard to make sure that we all have the perfect stay. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so warm and welcoming with beautiful smiles. It’s a real joy to spend time here. It’s really hard to say goodbye but thankfully we’ve booked another stay to look forward to. Thank you to everyone at South Gap hotel for another perfect holiday. Read less
Nice spot in Barbados

The hotel is in a great location in St Lawrence Gap. We paid for a sea front room and we had a lovely view. The pool area was lovely but not very big and lacked sunloungers. We visited in December and there wasn't much atmosphere in the hotel bar. The only negative for us was a karaoke bar across the road which was very loud and went on until 3am.… قراءة المزيد

We visited in December and there wasn't much atmosphere in the hotel bar. The only negative for us was a karaoke bar across the road which was very loud and went on until 3am. Also be aware that there is a repetitive noise outside when it gets dark which it turns out is tree frogs. Read less
Fab Hotel, but Location ??

Everything you read about the hotel is correct - its a wonderful small hotel to pitch up at. All good - staff, cocktails, food, small pool, sea view. Walk down to Johnny Cools Bar on Dover Beach, or the Carib Beach Bar on Koala Beach, and its a wonderful feel of the Caribbean. And that's the one big problem.

Everything you read about the hotel is correct - its a wonderful small hotel to pitch up at. All good - staff, cocktails, food, small pool, sea view. Walk down to Johnny Cools Bar on Dover Beach, or the Carib Beach Bar on Koala Beach, and its a wonderful feel of the Caribbean. And that's the one big problem. The hotel backs onto the St Lawrence Gap - and its too noisy. Opposite is an Irish Bar, and next door Karaoke. It didn't travel to the Caribbean to listen to U2, Bon Jovi and Freddie Mercury. I love a night out with a load of beers and music, but not here. I wanted to feel I was in the Caribbean, not Ibiza. In the hotel, make sure to get a room on the front, and you won't really hear anything. So, I am really torn. I'd happily stay in the hotel again, and walk to the next beaches for the evening. But if you do like Karaoke, this is your place !! Read less
