First of all this was my first time in Barbados and let me say the island is amazing. Secondly, Tia and the staff at South Gap were wonderful from check in to check out. The hotel is recently updated and has the perfect kitchenette for light food prep and storing your drinks/snacks. There are restaurants and plenty of beach access right at your door and although the hotel itself doesn’t have its own beach the deck and ocean views were more than compensation. We will certainly be returning next year!

My wife and I enjoyed out three nights at South Gap. There are resorts on Barbados that cost about twice as much per night, and honestly, I thought South Gap was just about as nice. I liked that it was not overly big, and boisterous. The street in front is very lively in the evening, but the rooms are quiet. I like the balcony overlooking the ocean, and the meals were good.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. I actually stayed in the same exact room on the second trip as the first one. Happy to see South Gap Hotel didn’t have too manage damage from the hurricane. I realized a few changes to the deck but nothing out of the way. Service from the kitchen and bar excellent as always. Workers are always attentive and engaging. Everything worked out smoothly. Will highly recommend and hope to be back again.

The reviews are true!

When you only have reviews to go on sometimes you have to take a chance with the hotel. You never really know until you get there whether you made the right choice. When we were pulling into St. Lawrence gap, we realized it was in the area where the bars and entertainment were. We pulled up to the hotel and were pleased with our initial impression. When we got inside, we met the front desk staff. The morning and afternoon people appear to rotate their shifts. We had a lot of interaction with both of them. they are both phenomenal! They always had a smile on their face and were very helpful with everything including finding a great island tour. We then went to our room and were very happy with the room and the view. The pool deck outside and the view were terrific. We were right up against the water, however there is no beach attached. If you wanted Dover beach, you just had to walk down the block about three minutes. We normally like the beach, but we actually wound up spending a lot of time on the hotel deck and enjoying the waves and the pool. I was concerned that the music from the bars and restaurants might be a problem with sleeping, but with the air conditioning on, we essentially did not hear it at all. You could hear it a little when you were in the front of the room near the bathroom, but not back in the sleeping area. so that should not be a concern at all. We were very happy at the South Gap hotel and would highly recommend it!

Great location in the St Lawrence Gap. Hôtel is in great condition, we loved the view. Beach is just 5-10 min walk. Just a small complain on a weird smell from the bathroom piping, it might have been a room issue. Happy with the stay.
