The hotel

The Southern Palms Beach Club and Hotel is spread out along 1,000 ft of oceanfront at St Lawrence Gap, so it has the best of both worlds. There are spacious grounds in which to relax and unwind during the day and then lively restaurants, shops and bars just a 5-minute walk away for evening entertainment! You can look out over the Caribbean Sea as you dine in the Garden Terrace restaurant and, on Sundays, people come from all over the island to enjoy the wonderful Sunday buffet lunch — accompanied by live music.

Owned by Canadians, this large property offers clean accommodations with or without a meal package. The signature restaurant is excellent particularly their breakfast buffet. The beach front has a volleyball net and ample chairs. You can also rent water crafts including surf boards. This location is ideal for body surfing and learning to surf. The pool is refreshing and the staff very friendly. Highly recommend this property to anyone visiting. Saint Lawrence Gap is a delightful one way street full of great shops and a fantastic night life! The karaoke across the street is off the charts and very popular. Book it and have a great vacation or stay for several months. Read less

Southern Palms Beach Club is a true gem! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right decision- the location is perfect, as restaurants, shops and convenience stores are all along the St. Lawerence gap...right across the street from the hotel! The staff are what makes this hotel special, they are genuine and beautiful people- a few to mention are Hazel-Anne, Betty, Tiffany and Michelle. The hotel is very well maintained- rooms are large (decor is island vibe) and the towels are the cleanest I have ever seen. Their restaurant is located by the beach and the food is lovely. If you are lucky enough, you might see baby turtles (at night) along the half wall of the restaurant, while you are dining! As well, you can always see them swimming in the ocean, right on the beach! Two noteworthy restaurants: The Happy Days Cafe (across the street) is delightful- owners Nick and his wife are terrific people. For evening dining, Mimosa (which overlooks the beach) is wonderful and the view is breath taking! Thank you Barbados! Read less

Just returned from a 10 night holiday in the beautiful island of Barbados. This was our first time visiting this island but we have holidayed in the Caribbean a fair amount. We stayed at Southern Palm in an ocean facing room on a room only basis. This hotel was simply perfect, very comfortable and spacious room, we stayed on first floor and had amazing view of Dover beach. Large balcony, room cleaned daily. The hotel was very clean throughout and the staff all very helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant was very good, food and drinks very nice and competitively priced. I normally go all inclusive so had been apprehensive about room only this time, but never regretted it. There were so many lovely restaurants and cafes in St Lawrence Gap and we enjoyed every meal we had. I highly recommend the Happy Days cafe right opposite the hotel for breakfast it was excellent. We also found the Harlequin Restaurant excellent for dinner, although all restaurants we ate at were good. There’s a street food van next to Harlequin restaurant which sells lovely food if you just want a snack. A trip to Oistins fish fry is a must, loud music and very busy but a good experience. The hotel and surrounding establishments all dedicated toTurtle conversation. We witness some turtles hatching and we were able to help save some and the turtle rescue come to collect them to release in a safer environment. Also a load of turtle eggs were washed up after a storm and these were re buried with help of turtle rescue guiding guests how to help - what an experience! You swim in the beautiful waters at Dover beach, sand underfoot and Turtle swimming all around you, popping their little heads up every so often. This whole holiday was simply magical. I don’t often return to places as there is simply too many countries to explore but I think I will certainly be returning to Barbados and Southern Palms will be the perfect place to stay. I’ll be back someday . Read less
