Yellow Bird Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This chic hotel is reputed to have some of the friendliest staff on the island! It's also located across the road from St. Lawrence Bay where the waters are exceptionally shallow at low tide — enabling you to safely walk miles into the ocean (you might see some turtles along the way!). There’s a lovely restaurant on-site or you can head round the corner to the centre of St. Lawrence Gap for some lively nightlife. Refurbished studio rooms have large balconies offering stunning views, a kitchenette and complimentary WiFi.

We are currently staying at this wonderful hotel and feel that we need to review it now, before we leave. All I can say is that the staff, location and service are all wonderful. From the restaurant/bar to pool sun beds and use of snorkels are amazing with the bonus of a beach on your doorstep. We are on the top floor, no lifts, but the views… Read more

From the restaurant/bar to pool sun beds and use of snorkels are amazing with the bonus of a beach on your doorstep. We are on the top floor, no lifts, but the views compensate for this. ( Room 405) The studio is well equipped and cleaned daily. Credit is certainly due to this fabulous little gem. Read less

We stayed at the Yellow bird Hotel during the Men's T20 world cup. The hotel was busy, but that did not detract from the excellent service the staff provided. We have stayed at The Yellow Bird since 2021, and have now become repeat visitors, and we don't see that changing. We normally stay on the 1st floor but stayed on the ground floor. It was a great room, it was clean, and had everything that we needed. We used the restaurant a lot, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there on different days. The food was great and so was the service. The hotel is only a short walk from the beaches, great restaurants and nightlife. We would like to thank the staff, who really made our stay a holiday to remember. Our cleaners Sonia and Laurel, The reception staff Dashawn, Monique and Michelle. We can't forget Jamal and Kofi who helped with our luggage and repairs. The other staff who worked in the hotel and Restaurant Sherellanne, Lisa, Carolanne, Justin, Sydney, Audley, Peddrina and Tia.

We stopped here for 2 weeks for our honeymoon Wonderful hotel, location and staff. Everything about the hotel is spot on, the staff are always smiling and happy to engage with customers. Bar and restaurant area is lovely fresh and modern and looks out onto the sea and is a lovely place for eating and drinking. The restaurant is really good quality and decent value and well worth trying. The rooms are big and spacious, if I wanted to be critical I could say a little dated but that wasn't an issue for us. The rooms were kept spotless by the housekeeping team who worked tirelessly in the heat. Really good WiFi whilst we stopped Plenty of free parking withing the hotel complex if you decide too hire a care on your holiday Only a couple of minutes walk from the main strip of the gap, and 1 min from getting a bus and 5 mins walk to Worthing beach Would we come back? In a heartbeat and already looking for our 2025 holidays Read less
