We have just returned yesterday from Barbados and stayed at the Sea Breeze Beach hotel in Christchurch, what a wonderful holiday we had! First things first we booked it online through Virgin which was a scary thing as we have never been to Barbados before but after seeing some of the comments left on trip advisor it gave us that extra boost to go ahead and book it! We had such a fantastic holiday, wish we were still there!! we stayed for 10 nights which is enough to see the island and take advantage of the excursions. The hotel as a whole was excellent, but there are a few things that werent perfect but the good outweighed the bad. First of all the service from the staff was excellent and they are so friendly and make you feel very welcome. The food was excellent, 3 courses a day with such a wide selection of different foods not once did we get upset tummies which is a relief after our experience in dominican republic. The location is perfect!! you couldnt ask for anything better, overlooking the beautiful clear blue sea and hearing the waves from inside your room! now for a few niggly bits that you may want to consider .. if you are looking for a budget holiday and not looking to spend much time in your room then this is the place to go, if you are looking for a room that has high class and modern finishes then this probably is not right for you, the rooms could do with moderisation, plus the double bed is two small beds pushed together and me & my partner slept with the gap between us which was annoying for him but i do know that you can pay a little extra to have a newer room as some sections of the hotel are being refurbished. Apart from that the air conditioning & fan was superb, plenty of storage space and satelite television. If you are not a bird lover like my partner then you may want to make note that there are a few small to medium sized birds that fly around and land on your table at breakfast & lunch, some of them do just fly off with a little wave of the hand but some of the little birds do try their luck!! they can be annoying but on some days they dont appear at all. Also i would strongly recommend to go all inclusive as the prices of the food out there is expensive, more than what you pay in London!! a suprise to some it may be! We didnt spend much time in the swimming pools as they were quite small, most of the time we spent was on the beach which was beautiful but be prepared to be pestered by "reggae-dudes" (a name that we call them) which are local sellers, but are all very polite and with a simple no they will leave you alone. Plus the security guards are all over them like a flash if they see them so you are well protected. Would definetly recommend you try out Alex's jet ski from the watersports, what a great experience this was!! and he is a real lovely guy. Excursions not to miss are the jeep safari in a 4x4 which takes you off road, this was fantastic! and a good way of seeing the whole island and its history rather than hiring a car yourself and getting lost! Definetly recommend the catamaran trip where you get to snorkel with turtles, this is such an experience and you also get to see some amazing tropical fish .. didnt see a nemo but saw a dorey! : ) Overall we had such a wonderful holiday, it has been the best and we will definetly be visiting the island again! we miss it so much and we hope that this review helps any of you out there that are considering going to the sea breeze or even just visiting Barbados.

WOW! what a brillent 2 weeks.

Me and my boyfriend travelld to Barbardos to the Sea Breeze Beach Hotel via Virgin Holidays and i can say it was worth every penny.

We left for Barbados on 19th April 2008 and was met with brillent hot sun, white sands and crystal waters.

This island is fantasic with just as fantasic people very friendly and helpful, it can be a little distressing in Bridgetown / st lawrence gap when you get bombarded with vendors, taxis and some people trying to sell drugs, but a polite 'no thank you' does the trick.

When we checked into the Sea Breeze we was meet with a warm welcom from Hyacinth we believe she was the customer relations manager... she was so friendly and always willing to help.

we was escorted to our room 324 a deluxe ocean front room. This room was very nice, clean and spacious. We was a little miffed that we did not have our flat screen tv like the others on our level but that really didnt matter as why would you want to watch tv in this beautful country

the toilet was a little loose too but again we didnt care

the room was nice and cool, big bed and colourful.

Outside there are two pools (and jakuzie) they are quite small but never packed, we had the pools to ourselves most of the time! OH and they are not deep.

there is a beach bar (the fish pot) which provids food from 12pm (we was all inclusive) and a resturant which serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

the food was ok sometimes a little strange but i have never been the west indies before so i was not used to the different tasts.

there is a bar just off the resturant with two sides to sit, outside and inside. the inside bar smelled a little odd.... all the hotels public loos where nice and clean and have a one eyed ginger cat when lives there ha ha (i thought that was cute)

in both eating places there are little tame birds who eat out of your hands.

the gardens are lovley.... the grass died when we was there as it did not rain once!!!

there are two beachs right on your doorstep one is quite popular and the other is deserted, the empty beach looked so beautiful as it has palm trees groweing out of the sand so it looked just as i had dreamed.

i did not want to leave this place and recommend it to all i speak to

i actually cryed when i left!!!!

(ps sorry about spelling)

i went to stay at the seabreeze hotel on the 14th of january 2008
well what can i say it was very mixed feelings really the staff at the hotel were all very nice and the rooms were very nice and immaculate so no problem there i wouldnt rate the food very well thou the breakfast was ok but there was not much options for lunch whatsoever and at the nite in the restaurant it was no good at all also dont bother ordering room service as u will not get it we stayed in a couple of nites and attempted to order it but it took two hours and we had to ring and remind them about it when it had eventully came they had forgot the wine another thing is that over there you tend to wake up naturally at seven or eight in the mornin so most people are having there breakfast at nine or
ten then once youve finished your breakfast you go on the beach or by the pool but you can not get a drink from anywhere apart from a water machine in the grounds as the bar and restraunt shut straight after breakfast so youve got like a two hour wait to get a drink.The hotel is on a lovely white beach which is nice but you get alot of people bothering you on the beach trying to sell you stuff some even trying to sell drugs and they dont give
up its very annoying really when you are trying to relax on holiday you just have to tell them straight no im not intersted sorry they should get the picture eventully i would not go back to this hotel the main reason is the people bothering you on the beach i have also stayed at the sandridge hotel in barbados we was actully supposed to go there this year but there was alot of building work going on there so we decided it was not a good idea and chose the seabreeze but i would not go back much prefferd the sandridge

Well what can I say, had a great time here with my son and family friend. Plenty for the teenagers to do, all day, and into the evening, room was really good, stayed in the deluxe ocean front suite, nice and clean, good size, nice telly, but we were hardly every in there, but comfortable enough. The staff are fantastic, very friendly, food was good, breakfast was the best and the buffet dinners, a good selection to choose from. A big mention to Jerome, Ellis and Bert, Hi guys, stay cool. Hi to Gloria, and everyone in the Mermaid resturant and Beach Bar, we miss everyone. We will be going back thats a must. Hope you like the pictures. Also good base for travelling around the island, our third time here and this time we opted for the buses, so cheap, $1.50 (30p) to go anywhere, we got on the Speightstown or Holetown bus (about 1 hour) and travelled to the West Coast, go to Paynes Bay or Mullins Beach, Paynes is better, a couple of turtles came to join us in the water, free of charge. Anyway I won't go on and on, but the best yet.
