I’ve just spent a fabulous week here with my son...we hardly left Sea Breeze as we were so happy and content there. The beach is beautiful and not at all too busy. My son took advantage of the catamaran trips and he swam every day either in the sea or the lap pool. The food was delicious with lots of choices and ‘catch of the day’ was always worth having. The only buffet style option was in the morning and also on the Friday Beach BBQ. The entertainment was really tasteful. Special mentions must go to the lovely Sharon and also Baby Rihanna but overall all the staff were friendly, efficient and approachable. Our corner family suite was perfect. Absolutely loved it!

Just returned today from 10 days staying at the Sea Breeze Beach Hotel in Barbados. Check in was quick and we were given a cold flannel and a rum punch which were both lovely. We were then shown our room which was also lovely and modern, the only slight disappointment was the view, however that didn't really bother me as the room had two lovely double beds, a walk in shower and fantastic air conditioning, the rooms were also cleaned to a high standard each day. The pool areas were lovely, plenty of sunbeds by the pool and on the beach, the beach area was beautiful, I loved swimming in the sea. The food was wonderful, again my only slight disappointment was that the food did become a little repetitive. To book for dinner you did this in the morning at breakfast,there were a couple of occasions where we did not get the time or restaurant that we wished but this was not a big issue. The staff were very attentive and friendly, ensuring that you always had plenty to drink. The evening entertainment was good, it did tend to finish a little early, but there was a good variety of different singers, bands etc.. Daytime activities were a little limited, but we were happy spending most of our time in the pool or sea. Overall it was a wonderful holiday and I would return to Sea Breeze. Read less

1. Location The Sea Breeze is right on the beach approximately 10 mins walk from Oistins on the south coast of Barbados. The beach extends the whole length of the property and seen at high tide it appeared to be small however there was room for plenty of sun loungers for all and there was a good range of water-sports available. We later took a boat trip along the so called "Platinum" west coast and discovered that the beach dimensions of the Sea Breeze were considerably better than some premium resorts on the island. 2. Restaurants and Bars Although all inclusive we were pleased that the Sea Breeze did not provide the usual crowded evening buffet as standard that we have seen elsewhere. 3 restaurants were available but at the time we stayed the resort was quiet and only 2 restaurants opened each night. The Mahogany did have a buffet on some nights with an a la carte service on others but the Mahogany was small enough for the buffet to be a pleasant experience. Restaurant bookings were taken each morning at breakfast and we found that we usually got a reservation at our preferred time. On one occasion we had to book for a slot 30 minutes later than requested but this was not a problem for us. Breakfast and lunch were served as a buffet from the Mahogany. The Flying Fish poolside bar also provided day long fast food options including burgers, fries, club sandwiches, pizzas and chicken wings. Waiter service was provided for guests using tables facing the beach. The Flying Fish closed at 6pm. The Mahogany Bar faces the beach but is only open while the Mahogany Restaurant is also open. On evenings when the Mahogany Restaurant was closed the Mahogany Bar also shut at 6pm. This meant that the only option for guests wanting a sundown drink were to seek out the main bar adjacent to Reception and accessible from the lounge adjacent to the Cerulean Restaurant or to head to the Rum Shack behind the main reception block but both are some distance from an evening sea view. 3. Facilities With 3 pools and plentiful lounger availability on the beach we never had a problem finding space to sit in the sun. 4. Sea Breeze Team The best part of our stay and the reason we will recommend the Sea Breeze to friends and visit again ourselves! The Sea Breeze has a brilliant team and we found ourselves on first name terms with several people within a couple of days of arrival. Special thanks to Shawn for springing a birthday surprise for my wife and helping plan our other activities. Peggy's enthusiasm for everything was infectious, Oneal checked every day whether I had found time in our busy schedule to book a Hobie Cat outing. We did finally book a Hobie Cat sailing and Edwin took us out on a tour of the bay and provided a tour guide commentary of the sights along the way including a brief appearance by a startled turtle (it seems turtles don't like catamarans!). At the Cerulean bar Oscar and Cuthbertson always made sure that a drink was poured and quickly in our hands irrespective of how busy the bar might be. 5. Sea Breeze Weddings Now the only negative bit. Several wedding events took place during our stay and appeared to be enjoyed by all but as we were leaving to return home an exceptionally large group were arriving for a wedding. Most guests attending this event were considerate but given the small size of the Sea Breeze a large party can start to become intrusive for other guests. Disappointingly a group of young males were particularly loud and effectively a single sex bachelor party within the wedding group. Other guests had been irritated by a volleyball game that they commenced right in front of the beach access steps with no consideration at all for other guests wanting to leave the beach. Sea Breeze quickly responded to this by setting up a volleyball net on a quieter part of the beach for their use. But on the day before we left one part of this group occupying the jacuzzi area were shouting right across the adults only pool (usually an area for guests wanting some tranquility) to their friends on the opposite balcony which resulted in one of the party on the third floor balcony to drop his shorts to "moon" to his mates in the jacuzzi. Admittedly there is not much that any hotel can do other than to speak to the individuals concern but for us this was the only low point in an otherwise perfect trip. Read less
