I really enjoyed my stay here! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean. My favorite amenities were the pool and restaurant in the building. It was very convenient and there were a lot of great options to choose from. It's also located a short walk away from the St. Lawrence Gap and Dover beach, so there's a lot of other food options to choose from. If you're traveling to Barbados, I definitely recommend staying here!

The room was clean, comfortable. The food and drinks in the Bistro was some of the best food we had. Staff were all friendly, helpful and fun. The pool was great for cooling off from the heat. Nice and close to walk to everything needed in the Gap.
