Rostrevor Apartment Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Oozing island charm, this bijou beauty has just 79 rooms but packs in plenty of reasons as to why it deserves a visit. Inspired by its stunning waterfront location, just a stroll from the heart of St Lawrence Gap with its great bars, restaurants and nightlife, Rostrevor Apartment Hotel features just enough turquoise touches to remind you the ocean’s right outside — in fact, every guest room looks out over it. If you want to get even closer, the swimming pool sits a few mere metres from the ocean, on a bluff-like perch that creates absorbing views as you swim and sunbathe. An equally alluring sunbathing spot, the secluded sands of Rostrevor Beach fringe the hotel. The pool’s paired with one of the hotel’s two eateries, the Almond Tree Pool Bar, so you can dine in casual comfort during the day, before heading to the other restaurant, The Harlequin, for International food with Caribbean flair for a delicious evening meal.

We stayed here for 2 weeks. First week in 2 bedroom apartment with our adult son and daughter. Second week superior room for my husband and I. Great location Friendly staff Well stocked kitchen. Can be noisy at night so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Would definitely stay here again.

The stay at this property did not meet my expectations, the room I was assigned was dated and would do with some updating in comparison with their other higher level rooms, the studio rooms by the pool, is a forgotten thought, it's spacious kitchenette with big and small appliances is the only positive, but I didn't partake as I ate all my meals… Read more
The stay at this property did not meet my expectations, the room I was assigned was dated and would do with some updating in comparison with their other higher level rooms, the studio rooms by the pool, is a forgotten thought, it's spacious kitchenette with big and small appliances is the only positive, but I didn't partake as I ate all my meals off property, the property and its location is still in the best spot in the St Lawrence area, with many restaurants for different budgets and tastes, bars, public and private transport, beaches, shops, nightlife and entertainment...all within walking distance, the Harlequin restaurant on property serve some of the best food in the area, but only open for dinner, but there's a small intimate restaurant in the hotel for breakfast and light meals, its only busy at breakfast, as most guests dine out after that meal period, the staff is not as welcoming as a previous stay, housekeeping service is not at good standard, and need to be looked at by management, so just an okay stay!

We love Barbados and now we have found our favourite hotel to boot! What is not to love, the wonderful staff, the views, the kitchenette and, yes, the location.

We love Barbados and now we have found our favourite hotel to boot! What is not to love, the wonderful staff, the views, the kitchenette and, yes, the location. It's a lively spot that can get a bit noisy at night if you are in sleeping mode, but it's great with all of the restaurants and people watching you would want all at the Rostrevor. Just about everyone I spoke with was a returning guest, and I mean returning for years and years. Taking a book out of their pages, I already booked for 2025, knowing that this hotel books up very far in advance. It's a family run hotel and somewhere that I would not hesitate to recommend to family or friends, the true test. The room was great, spacious with fantastic ocean views and a balcony. The kitchenette was wonderful since our modus operandi was to eat "at home" and go out for dinners, and there were lots of restaurants from which to choose in the area! Take your pick! The beach is quite small but it didn't matter because it was not littered with lots of people so quite a bit of room to catch the waves. Just so you know, it's not a walking beach and when we were there, it was a bit rough so you picked your time in the water -- warm water and lots of wave action! What can I say about the staff? THE BEST! Yes, you know who you are and we look forward to seeing you next year. Read less
