Yellow Bird Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Star 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.

This was our first visit to the Yellow Bird Hotel, having stayed in the area on several previous holidays. We received a very warm reception on our arrival and this continued throughout our stay, with all the staff greeting us in a friendly manner each day. Our room (304) was spotless, as was the hotel. There is an an amazing view of St Laurence Bay from our balcony. The restaurant is clean and modern with an excellent menu and we tried several dishes on different days and we're never disappointed, as the meals were always delicious. We had a little difficulty using the sunbeds and parasols as there was a clear shortage. There is a lovely garden next to the swimming pool in which more sunbeds and shades could be placed. We'd like to thank the Manager and all the staff for enabling us to have a wonderful holiday, as we have never been treated so well before. Read less

I have just returned from a weeks stay with my adult daughter . The Yellowbird did not disappoint in any area . The staff are so friendly and helpful . Michelle on reception arranged a Bajan celebration trip for us and our return taxi to the airport . Our delux double room 204 had a lovely view , the bed was super comfy and we didn't have any issues with outside noise . The room was equipt with all the amenities if you want to cook for yourself, we made breakfast but ate out the rest of the time . The hairdryer in the bathroom was quite powerful, and the shower worked well . Our room was very clean, and room service was provided daily . If you want to travel independently, the bus stop is right behind the hotel . Pool towels are provided . There are lots of good places to eat around the hotel , the Mexican next door is recommended along with Harliquin. If you're looking for a small hotel that is in a good location, with amazing staff and nice rooms, then look no further . Thank you for a wonderful stay Read less

Our original booking in another hotel was cancelled last minute. Holiday company relocated us here. How lucky were we. What a gem of a place!. We stayed in the 2 bedroom Ground Floor Suite. For a family of 5 it was perfect. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus a double sofa bed in the living room. Hotel is in a great location at the beginning of the Gap, close to some great restaurants and close to the beach and the Supermarket. Buses to Bridgetown and beyond on the doorstep. Lovely pool area, with no trouble in getting a sunbed, amazing staff, great bar and the food in the restaurant is really good. We loved it and have rebooked Yellow Bird for this year too. Cant wait to return. Read less

The rooms were cleaned daily and coffee tea provided in generous amounts . The reception team were friendly and very helpful for information and booking excursions should you require. The pool area is bejou but well kept , we always managed to get a bed as they have a 30 minute rule for unoccupied beds (stops the towels being left all day) We would definitely recommend this hotel for an all round great holiday thanks to all the lovely staff . We will be back . Rebecca and Gary Read less
