The hotel

Only a short walk from Dover Beach, this all-suite hotel is fully equipped with all the comforts of home so you’ll have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. All suites have a living area, patio or balcony and a full kitchen, but if you don’t feel like cooking, visit the beachfront restaurant Pureocean and try traditional Caribbean cuisine and dine with a stunning backdrop. There’s plenty to do with three freshwater pools, snorkelling, tennis, and mini golf but if it's a little pampering you are after then why not head to the spa.

Arrived at reservation counter and received no greeting from staff. Rooms were okay but the toilet in our room wouldn’t flush after three visits by maintenance and there was leak in bathroom with a pool of water always on the floor. No offer to change room until after i spoke with property manager.

Clean, well maintained resort. Not on the beach but across the road from. 2 pools. Lots of chairs and umbrellas. Quiet area’s. Resort is close to all amenities. There are plenty of restaurants, little shops and groceries within walking distance of the property. A great area for walkers. We had a one bedroom unit on the 3rd floor, balcony, pool facing. Building was clean and maintained but it’s tired looking. Space in suite was adequate but the use of it hasn’t been very well thought out. A renovation is needed. We ate at the restaurant on the beach for breakfast one morning only. We found the staff rude. Had drinks in the bar one afternoon with a very friendly bartender attending. Staff at the check in lobby were friendly and helpful. Read less

We were not disappointed with the accommodation here. We were not sure as it is 4 star what the standard would be like and did see some negative reviews on the hotel, but thought we would give our first week in Barbados a go here. Could not fault the cleanliness, size of room, grounds, pool maintenance, staff. It was all above our expectations and will be returning guests when on the South Coast. The beds and cabanas on the beach were an added bonus too. Would have been 5 star if the toilet roll had been replenished regularly without having to keep asking for it. Pool view of the evening was also lovely as was the Managers Cocktail evening. See you next year, may try longer too. Read less
