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.

Just returned home from our honeymoon and amazing 2 week stay at this hotel and we absolutely loved it. We had a sea view suite (room 242) the room was a little tired but nothing to moan at! The views from our balcony were amazing. We spent many days on Dover beach watching the turtles in the sea which was fab! The staff at the hotel are all absolutely loved and do a great job! We ate here a couple of times and the food is great. Thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, happy hour most days is great too. We also enjoyed complimentary afternoon tea by the pool a couple of times and the cakes were delicious 😍 The hotel is in a great location on The Gap and in walking distance to many bars and restaurants. Would come back and stay here again without a doubt! ❤️ Read less

We have just returned from another fabulous stay at Southern Palms Beach Club, there is something about this place, it is very special. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind, a beautiful beach front location and as there are only around 90 rooms you sometimes feel like you have the place to yourself. Also a perfect location to walk into the Gap of an evening and explore and enjoy the many restaurants and bars, we highly recommend Harlequin, Primo and Cocktail Kitchen. Noted that the rooms are a little dated, but do not let this put you off at all, the maids keep everything very clean and the gardens and grounds are kept in a beautiful condition. Wrap this all up with incredibly friendly, happy and helpful staff and must say a special thank you to Kellie the Hotel Manager for making us feel so welcome.

We stayed there for just over a week as a family with young kids and just had a room only and no food and had a suite so the kids had one area to sleep and us another plus kitchen area. First point is the bed in our room was not only huge but so comfortable and we really missed it when we left, the bathroom was good and of a decent size and the kitchenette had everything we needed to do ourselves breakfast and the kids snacks. The location of the hotel is great, its right on Dover beach which is really nice and the view from our window and balcony were amazing and its a very short walk to the St Lawrence Gap restaurants where there are some great places to eat and drink. The pools were really good and we spend most of the time in the main one but it was nice for a change to check out the the other smaller one. The staff were really nice, especially the tall sports guy who my kids loved and the cleaning staff were great and really nice. Its also great for wildlife, we saw loads of turtles in the sea right by the hotel, a regular humming bird outside our window each morning and night, lots of crabs plus we saw a tiny whistling frog which was of huge excitement for the kids as we had been searching all holiday. All in all a great trip and we loved both the hotel and the location Read less

This was our first time to this side of the island . So glad we choose Southern Palms Hotel. We decided to go Room Only which we have never done before but with so many bars and resturants close by we needent of worried. Rooms were dated and are well due a refurb, but maids keept the rooms immaculate . Hotel resturant food was good quality with a nice atmosphere, but sometimes it took forever to get food and drinks to the table after ordering.!!!! Hotel grounds were relaxing, pool was nice to swim in and Dover Beach was stunning which really sells this hotel . No worries about getting up to get a sun bed at the crack of dawn there were always plenty around. Keep a,look out for the turtles swimming in the ocean. General stores for milk juice etc. Close by . We went to Happy Days Cafe for Brunch which is over the road in the Chattel Village from the hotel, they make wonderful pancakes and bacon rolls in this family run cafe We enjoyed our time at Southern Palms Hotel and would return Read less

Just returned from a four night five day trip with my wife and teenage son and teenage daughter. we all loved it. We had a room only package which was great because there are tons of restaurants within walking distance. The restaurant on site was excellent and their drinks were fantastic including the happy hour. We took advantage of the pool, of the puppet, the tennis and more. The room was spacious, kitchen with fridge, and always clean and comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly. Shakeef (spelling?) at the front desk was always very kind and helpful on tips for restaurant ideas, arranging taxi, and even helped us arrange a snorkel cruise. The beach is beautiful and every day there were at least a dozen sea turtles swimming around the water with us. There were plenty of beach chairs never had to fight for them. Our favorite person there was Sandy at the WaterSports. Nicest guy ever and always helpful. We did sunfish sailing ($50 usd) , windsurfing (free) and kayaking (free). Highly recommend southern Palms for couples and families. Great location great beach and great staff. Read less
