One of our favourite places to stay as a family. Understated, perfect location, family operated small boutique self catering accommodation. Pool is nice and the beach is a heaven. We stayed at a 3 bedroom unit with kitchen, living room and parking. I cannot rate higher on this gem. Staff are super friendly and the gentleman who runs (?) this place is very kind. My husband slipped his ankle on the beach due to high waves and had his leg swollen. They brought a wheelchair straight away and made sure they were all fine. The rooms are super spacious and clean. The property is well maintained and there is also a fitness centre which was so handy for me to burn all that fat from lovely food in Barbados :-) We would definitely come back here. Read less

I couldn’t fault the Beach View Hotel! The apartment/suite, the Sugar Apple Cafe/restaurant, the gardens and pool areas were all excellent! All the staff were polite and friendly, especially important for a ‘mature’ solo traveller. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel!!

We stayed here in April for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Hotel grounds are beautifuly maintained. Bus stops right outside the hotel very handy and reliable if you want to save a good few quid on taxis. Hotel room we had was very spacious with patio doors leading to one of the four pools on site. The Sugar Apple restaurant served up good quality Breakfast, Lunch and evening meals. The hotel was only a few minutes walk from several local restaurants and a short taxi or bus ride from Hole Town. We definitely would stay here again. Read less

We loved Beach View. Some old world charm about the place, just what we wanted. Not too busy and a good location to explore the West side of the island. We'll be back.
