“Fabulous!!”
Absolutley great hotel, perfect location for restaurants & bars. Beautiful beachfront position. All the staff were extremely helpful & friendly. Definitley should be rated higher than 2stars.
“Want to go back for 2 weeks in January 2008”
Absolutely a wonderful hotel, the staff, service, food and entertainment were more than excellent. Everyone went way beyond to make sure all your needs were taken care of. They were very friendly and extremely helpful.
“Love the Southern Palms”
We first visited the Southern Palms in 2003 on our honeymoon, this year was our 5th visit to Barbados and our 5th stay at the Southern Palms. We love this place, no where else where the beach is a couple of steps away from the pool and the bar. The staff are friendly and helpful, the beer is cold, the pool is warm and there's a lovely breeze all along the hotel. Only a couple of minutes walk to all the gap has to offer. This is not the most luxurious hotel but it is clean and spacious and well kept. We will be visiting again.
“Great Location & Wonderful Staff”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at S Palms. I knew when booking the room would not be in the luxury category, but I chose SP for its location. The beach is great, it is very convenient to bars and restaurants. The restaurant at the hotel is quite good and has reasonable prices. Everyone was courteous and very helpful. I would definately stay here again.
“Lovely Hotel”
Very nice place to stay, the beach is gorgeous, and the staff is extremely friendly and warm. The rooms are in good condition, with great views. The bathroom is a bit small, however not inconvenient by any means. The surroundung area is wonderful, with many great restaurants.
“Southern Palms Resort stay July 2010”
We just returned from 5 nights at the Southern Palms and we very much enjoyed our visit. We had a second-floor beachfront room in the new section (room 209) and we were most satisfied with the accommodations. Our room was nice and the beach/ocean view was spectacular. We did not purchase the meal plan because we prefer to sample the local restaurants (which were all very good but a little on the expensive side- relative to the other islands we have visited). While the resort's breakfast buffet was sumptuous, it was very expensive ($26.50 US, I believe) so we elected to eat breakfast at Happy Days Cafe across the street (pancakes, bacon and coffee for a very reasonable $7.50) or order ala carte at the resort restaurant (where the above ran $10.00). We checked our e-mail and used the internet in the resort's computer room (no charge and seldom in use when we went there). The resort's pool, beach, landscaping and buildings are beautiful and in excellent condition! There was very nice live music 3 of the 5 nights which was very nice and the bands were quite good. The resort's location is excellent and was one of the reasons I chose to stay here; it is very close to some nice shops, restaurants, bars, etc., as well as a bus stop (cheap and fun way to get to Bridgetown). Our only complaint about the island, and to a lessor extent the resort ,is that some of the tourist industry people were not overly friendly, as they are in the 6 other Caribbean islands we've visited.
“HOME RUN WITH THIS HOTEL”
If I didn't say enough above, we love to travel and the adventure of going to new places and finding gems along the way are what makes the adventure even more special. The Southern Palms was a gem. I kept taking pictures out our balcony and it was always the same, absolutely beautiful! Very clean beach, very peaceful setting. The place next door had a crowded beach and then ours started and had maybe 1000 feet of shoreline that was dotted with palms. They have a great corner on prime real estate and the beach is stunning. Turtles were spotted every now and again and the water was beautiful. Nice bar under a low slung roof, took a bucket of beers to our chairs one afternoon and just vegged out. Some may like all inclusive, but our drill is explore and meet the locals for advice on the places to go and experience the culture. Bridgetown a good half day explore and then get Alwin to take you around the island for a good look into Barbados. Don't buy a coconut from the vendor across the street if he looks raggedy, he just started hacking with his machete and wouldn't listen that we only wanted one not two and don't buy anthing without knowing the price. We didn't pay for the 2nd, but it felt awkward.
“Fantastic, chilled hotel”
From the welcome from the hotel staff on arrival to our departure which came around far too quickly there is nothing that can be faulted about this hotel. The grounds were immaculate, staff always very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our room (ocean view suite) was bigger than we had expected, immaculate and very comfortably furnished. Well positioned for local dining, some fantastic resturants within 10 mins walk - Harlequin eas a particular fave.
“Can't wait to go back.”
The hotel was great and the room was clean. The atmosphere was relaxing. We would stay here again. Great rum punch!!! The hotel also had local entertainment 3-4 times per week. They also have a Sunday brunch that is great.
“Fun time at the Palms”
Property was a nice place to stay. Great beach, great location in the St Lawerence Gap. Rooms were clean and spacious along with updated bathrooms,however rooms could be updated at some point. With all the sun and activites its not that big of an issue .The staff was excellent,as were the activites and live entertainment that they provide.The overall expeience at this resort was excellent.
