Our week-long vacation at the Bougainvillea was fantastic! Our room was cleaned everyday extremely well, the restaurant and beach towel hut staff were extra friendly and the location is superb! I loved that the beach chairs, umbrellas and beach equipment (such as Boogie boards) were complimentary. The food at the restaurant was excellent; I especially enjoyed the Bajan bowl and salads. We will definitely stay here again!

Nice comfy time

The Spot was great. I loved waking up to the sight of the beach . I was very happy with the space. I wasnt too fond of the breakfast but everything else made up for it with the regular amenities. The staff were friendly and were able to assist us with things to do around the island .
Good Hotel within close proximity to Bridgetown, Oistins, Lawrence Gap

The hotel is an average hotel in a very convenient location. The staff was very friendly. The room was very clean along and the general areas are all maintained in a decent manner. Some of the gym' equipment could use some love, there is evidence of rust on some of the equipment. There is a locker room with showers and a changing room if needed right next to the gym. The food was honestly just okay. Two of our best meals we had were purchased outside. The breakfast,lunch, and dinner menus did not offer a lot of variety while i was there. The drinks were great. Pool area was not crowded during the 2pm to 6pm timeframe which is when we usually went. The beach was clean and as long as there was no weather patterns interrupting the tide, the water was clean and calm (free of brown algae). All in all I would return as in comparison to a lot of the other hotels in this area, this might be one of the better ones.

Although I went on this holiday a few months back, I still wanted to write up my experience.
Bougainvillea hotel is an average hotel...but what made it special was the staff.... They were very friendly and professional. All staff greeted us with smiles every day which was lovely. Massive thanks to Akowa at the front desk she was professional and helpful when making arrangements.also massive thanks to Natasha, Rachel and Vicky...Kemar was always working hard in that made heat but was also full of information and helped us out on occasions.
The hotel looks a little dated and the games room and gym definitely need attention. The pool area, restaurant and rooms were always clean and well maintained. The drinks at the swim up bar were reasonably priced and they don't skimp on the alcohol...nice touch!
The negatives....
Evening entertainment ended at 10pm...er, this is a holiday!!...big shame..
Music around the pool is too low to hear and would have been nice to hear carribean music!! Pool chairs in good condition and plenty of towels. The Calabash Restaurant was food was not to my taste but plenty of people ate there and the staff were nice.
If u stay here u need a car as calling taxis can get pricey. I still feel the location is quite good..
We hired Alonzo to drive us around, he showed us the sights and was a nice man..
The hotel beach was well maintained....
I would definitely recommend and would definitely return (although bringing my little speaker next time lol)
Thanks Bougainvillea, u made my first visit to Barbados memorable for the right reasons ......

Our overall experience was just okay. The front desk staff were friendly and nice. The grounds were well kept and the food from the one restaurant on property was good. However, the walls between rooms were paper thin. You could hear everything in the rooms next to us. Unfortunately we had some very loud neighbors who would party late and come in…

Our overall experience was just okay. The front desk staff were friendly and nice. The grounds were well kept and the food from the one restaurant on property was good. However, the walls between rooms were paper thin. You could hear everything in the rooms next to us. Unfortunately we had some very loud neighbors who would party late and come in completely wasted so that hindered our quality of sleep. We were also unable to access the beach during our stay due to rough waves (red flag on beach indicated the beach was closed) and the pool was always full due to hotel being at max capacity during our stay.
