Yellow Bird Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This chic hotel is reputed to have some of the friendliest staff on the island! It's also located across the road from St. Lawrence Bay where the waters are exceptionally shallow at low tide — enabling you to safely walk miles into the ocean (you might see some turtles along the way!). There’s a lovely restaurant on-site or you can head round the corner to the centre of St. Lawrence Gap for some lively nightlife. Refurbished studio rooms have large balconies offering stunning views, a kitchenette and complimentary WiFi.

We highly recommend this apartment hotel! We stayed in a room with kitchenette. Good size, nice bathroom, okay size balcony with table and chairs. Very clean rooms, good and friendly housekeeping. If you like Saint Lawrence Gap (and we do!) this is a good location. Close to the main street leading in to town with busses that run all the time, but… Read more

If you like Saint Lawrence Gap (and we do!) this is a good location. Close to the main street leading in to town with busses that run all the time, but the noise from the traffic was not bad at all. All staff were VERY friendly - we even came in the same day as hurricane Beryl was to hit Barbados during the night, and still we were welcomed with calm, smiles and we felt safe and looked after. The restaurant and bar is small and cosy, and the food is really good bajan food and not expensive at all. The beach in front of the hotel is okay for a short dip and very good beaches can be found 5 minutes walk down Saint Lawrence Gap. Read less

The staff was wonderful and everything was easy. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant every morning before diving, and they took good care of us. Very nice hotel, top notch staff. We'd stay there again. There is no elevator, so book a lower level room if stairs are a problem for you. Read less
