This review is of the restaurant only as we didn’t stay in the hotel. During our month long stay in Barbados, we ate at this restaurant three times. Each time the food was delicious. The servers seemed genuinely happy to see us and greeted us with a warm smile. That alone would bring us back! I had the flying fish... More

We stayed for one night at this hotel in 2008 while passing through to another island and it was perfectly adequate for that with an acceptable, comfortable room and a good breakfast buffet (Sunday). Returned this year for lunch after a brilliant holiday further up the island and felt very disappointed. We ordered flying fish and waited 40 minutes. The... More

We were in St.Lucia for three weeks and decided to take a side trip to Barbados for a couple of days. Our friends had been raving about Barbados for years and thought it would be fun to check it out. I have to admit other than looking on trip advisor for a hotel, we had no clue what to expect.... More

We have just returned from 2 amazing weeks at Southern Palms & will definitely return next year. It is the perfect place to chill and relax in wonderful surroundings. The beach is just as beautiful as it is in all the photos and is so quiet. At times you can be the only person on it. The contrast with the... More

Why this is #3 out of the top 10 Hotels to stay at in St Lawrence Gap is utterly baffling as this Hotel is most definitely not. I think some of these reviews might be a fix... May I first point out we came to Barbados after a week in Grenada Spice Island Beach Resort which is one of the... More

We stayed here just one night, after our flight to Miami was cancelled and the airline had to put us up for the evening. We spent a week at a lovely private villa, so in fairness to the Southern Palms, there was no comparison to our early accomodation. The room we were given was an typical hotel room with two... More

First time for us in this hotel and we loved it. All the staff in all areas of the hotel were always approachable, always helpful and always friendly too. The staff always had time to talk to you and answer any questions, give you advice about the island etc. Room were always clean, beach was terrific and no walk at... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks from end of April. It was meant to be a dream holiday but for various reasons we were very dissapointed. The weather We unfortunately were some of the unlucky ones who touched down to grey skies and continual rain which lasted on and off (mostly on) for the first 8 days of our holiday.... More

Just returned from Southern Palms, we upgraded our room on arrival from garden view to ocean view which was very good. The location is superb with a fantastic beach, in the middle of the Gap with restuarants and bars closeby. Happy days cafe opposite for breakfast was very good and agree with previous comments about Mark and his wife at... More

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to post a holiday review and whilst I don’t agree with everything in the previous review some of it is uncannily similar to my own experience. My first impression upon walking up the steps to the reception area was welcome to Paradise. The reception staff were very friendly and professional... More
