The hotel

Located on Maxwell coast, very close to the nightlife and fun of St Lawrence Gap, is Barbados Beach Club - a reliable, All Inclusive, budget resort offering basic but comfortable accommodation. The spacious pool terrace is a popular spot to lounge but if you're after something more active you're not far from the Barbados Golf Club, or make use of the on-site tennis courts.

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever been to. We actually checked out after 1 day and paid for another hotel at our own expense even though we were on a virgin package ! There is absolutely nothing nice about this hotel. The food was terrible and would give Kareb’s diner a run for its money for rudeness. It’s dirty , the pool is awful, cigarette… Read more

There is absolutely nothing nice about this hotel. The food was terrible and would give Kareb’s diner a run for its money for rudeness. It’s dirty , the pool is awful, cigarette overflowing on the tables. I could go on. Avoid this hotel!! Read less

If you're considering staying at this hotel, be aware of a major inconvenience: the trash collection. The garbage truck comes every morning between 4:30 and 5:00, and the noise is incredibly loud.

The hotel seems unable or unwilling to coordinate a better time for trash collection, which significantly affects the overall experience. Read less

I reported a exposed electric wires on a broken socket wall in our bedroom to the TUI Rep and the General manager. The General manager ignored my complaint and walked off. This is a serious health and safety issue. This hotel needs to be inspected and CLOSED DOWN. On our 7th day our last day it was rectified. We also reported that our bath not being checked and cleaned before guests arrived it looked like sand. The phone does not work had to go to reception to report all my issues. The room maid came in within 10 mins to wash the bath out. My mistake in booking this hotel I should of read up on the reviews before. Our garden view that we was supposed to have was the fire exit steps leading down to the ground floor. We were also black mailed into signing an NDA (non disclose agreement) not to go to social media to name and shame the staff and hotel performance. We refused to sign. Pictures of live electric wires exposed are shared around social media. Guests needs to be aware of this. Compare to other 3 star hotels this have to be one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.

It was my first time visiting and I had wonderful time and will return again. yes it's a budget hotel and great if you intend to be out and about. I loved breakfast and always found something to eat. If you can't find anything to eat, please speak with the lovely staff in the dining room, who are very helpful and accommodating and will gladly get you something else. shout out to samantha in the dining room, lovely woman and excellent member of staff. The person on omelette service should be visible for the full shift, it looks professional and ready for service. I worked in hotels over 15 years and now work in healthcare. This hotel could be great and needs alot of tlc and updates, it is clean and has the space to do alot of good things. The guy on the bbq needs to acknowledge people in front of him and be more friendly. The barstaff shaka and Gabriel are excellent, please get mohitos on your cocktail menu and some liqueurs behind the bar! Desiree is a lovely lady and loved doing aqua aerobics with her shame it's not a bit longer. Your reception team are good although they are missing some vital information that could help them, such as hotel info in the rooms with breakfast etc times on and activities. Your housekeeping team are hardworking but the team does seem small for the size of the hotel and can imagine when full, the wait for clean rooms for checkin is long! Your reception area really does need air conditioning all over and the lounge room needs updating and has a funny smell to it, luggage should be protected elsewhere in a locked room. The bedrooms are a good size and clean, the bathrooms could do with a makeover as the toilets are in a awkward position behind the door at a angle and the showers are not great,new bath mats and curtains needed. The room used for ala carte is a lovely space and nice bar not being used to its full potential. Please get rid of the curtains and allow the beautiful beach view to be seen. Also advertise your fitness room no one knows it exists! Please get rid of the plastic around your reception desk it's unwelcoming and the reception desk would be a better use of space moved to the area where Desiree sits. Read less
