Yellow Bird Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

The hotel

This chic hotel is reputed to have some of the friendliest staff on the island! It's also located across the road from St. Lawrence Bay where the waters are exceptionally shallow at low tide — enabling you to safely walk miles into the ocean (you might see some turtles along the way!). There’s a lovely restaurant on-site or you can head round the corner to the centre of St. Lawrence Gap for some lively nightlife. Refurbished studio rooms have large balconies offering stunning views, a kitchenette and complimentary WiFi.

What to say about the Yellow Bird? Everything about this hotel is perfect … small and friendly with beautiful views and very clean. Carol-Ann and her team work so hard and they make the hotel very special. Have been twice and am hoping very much to return for a third time next year too.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the Yellow Bird Hotel. We stayed at the little rooms with kitchens right next to the main hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They will help book any sort of excursion and are very helpful with recommendations for the island. The pool was lovely with sun loungers and the water was warm enough to swim in. The view of the ocean just outside was great. The only negative thing was the noise from the nearby bars/clubs. Most nights there was pretty loud music that would end around midnight. However, our very last night was a Friday night and there was louder than usual DJ music until 4 am. It was so loud it felt like they were in the living room. We did not get much sleep because of the noise that night and had to get up for an early flight. The other weekday nights the music didn't bother us as much, I'm sure its just much louder and longer since it was a Friday night. Other than that it was a wonderful place to stay. Read less

Our second visit. Little has changed. Charming hotel. As clean as an operating theatre. Nice, large rooms, all with excellent views. Staff exceptional. Only negative. Can be affected by loud music from nearby club/ restaurant from 9pmto 2am. Will affected light sleepers. Hotel cannot improve this as outside their control.
