South Gap Hotel

My husband and I stayed at the South Gap for 2 weeks and it was fabulous. We were made welcome from the minute we arrived to the minute we left from the wonderful staff and that is truly the plus point to this hotel. We loved the refurbished rooms and the facilities in the kitchen which came in handy when the island was put in to lock down due to storm Dorian the hotel staff made sure we were informed of any developments and that we were safe,thankfully the storm didn’t affect us and we continued our holiday as normal. Our room had a amazing view over the ocean and we made friends with a few sparrows that visited us daily,the room was cleaned to a high standard and we had fresh towels every day a big thank you to Patricia for that and our daily chats. We will definitely be returning in the future to this wonderful hotel and can’t wait to capture those fabulous views once again!!! Read less

We were relocated to South gap and had the most memorable holiday here. We stayed for 14 nights with family and friends. The hotel is fabulous! The rooms are modern ,not as big as some hotel rooms but well equipped. A large wardrobe , cases fit up on the top well out the way. Decor is immaculate and kitchen had everything we needed including an electric hob, kettle ,coffee maker and large fridge freezer. A great TV on the wall with plenty of channels. There is a safe in the wardrobe which we found to be really useful. Bathroom has the most amazing shower , plenty of fresh towels hand wash and shower gels with a small window . Best of all is the view from the rooms of the turquoise ocean and turtles bobbing up and down all day long, you can never tire of this view . There are different room types , you can get a room with two single beds or a king size. Beds were really comfortable with plenty of pillows. They also have some deck rooms with a bedroom , lounge & bathroom and also some one bedroom suites. The ladies on reception are helpful and friendly and there is also a security guard on over the night shift . The pool is amazing with extremely comfy loungers and big umbrellas, it’s a really lovely area to relax . We never had a problem getting a bed , there always seemed to be plenty. You can pay a deposit to have towels throughout your stay which is refunded upon departure. The Pool was very well maintained and cleaned everyday . At night the pool area had a lovely atmosphere listening to the waves crashing and watching the flame torches burning. Car park is spacious with plenty of spaces, we never had any trouble parking. There is a restaurant on the pool level called “tropical mist”, I must say breakfast was delicious. The menu had plenty of choices and the quality and presentation was superb . You have to try the pancakes - they are the best! The staff at south gap were lovely, always pleasant and friendly. Patricia was just wonderful. As other people mention in reviews , it is noisy at night due to being opposite bars, the door is quite well soundproofed but you can hear the music, however this never stopped us sleeping! If you are a light sleeper this would definitely be a problem. The hotel is along the st Lawrence gap , there are plenty of bars and restaurants to try all of which we had a great time in with fabulous food. Thank you South Gap for a wonderful holiday , We Can’t wait to return for our next visit in October .... Read less

This well decorated, clean hotel is right in the middle of St. Lawrence Gap in Barbados, which is a prime spot for night life, restaurants, local shopping and hotels/condos. I had an excellent experience while on a mini vacation with my husband. I stayed on the pool side level which had magnificent beach views. The room was cozy, very clean, well decorated and just enough for the two of us. The king sized bed was comfortable. The staff was very nice. very professional and very accommodating. We were able to dine on our patio or on the deck overlooking the sea . This hotel is on my to do again list. In case you are wondering, there is no beach but it is a quick stroll in either direction of the gap. Read less

I stayed at the South Gap Hotel this month & was blown away. It is situated at the heart of St Lawrence Gap, which is an extremely lively and bustling area with bars, clubs etc but don't let that put you off.. This hotel is modern & beautiful. Check in was easy and a lovely gentleman (who's name I did not get) kindly carried my suitcase to my room. The room itself was lovely, the kitchen area was stocked with a large fridge freezer with all the kitchenware you could need. The bathroom contained a walk in shower (which was lovely) with shower gel & shampoo. The bed in the room was HUGE, I'm pretty tall at 5ft10 and I had plenty of space. Once in the room I couldn't hear the noise from 'The Gap' which was in full swing as I arrived late.. I had a very comfortable sleep! Waking up and opening the curtains I was immediately struck by the view.. I was looking straight out to sea. I went down to the restaurant for breakfast, and chose to eat outside on the decked pool area. I ended up sitting out there for a few hours, listening to the music playing from the bar, drinking fruit punch & watching a few Hawksbill Turtles swim by. It was such a relaxing experience.. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay at this hotel, the staff were wonderful and attentive, the food was reasonably priced and portion size was big. I look forward to returning in the near future on my next trip to Barbados. A special thank you to Tia & especially to the general manager Cecile for all that they did to make me feel welcomed.
