Butterfly Beach Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

The hotel

One of the hallmarks of any holiday in Barbados is a night at Oistins’ famous Fish Fry – and you are just a stroll from all the action (and a short drive from lively St Lawrence Gap for other nights out). Enjoy direct access to two fabulous white powder beaches laid out either side by of this seafront hotel. The iridescent blue waters of the Caribbean may be tempting, but you can also take a dip in the freshwater swimming pools – or head up to the raised circular patio for a soak in its trio of waterfront whirlpools or relax on the ample sunning areas with loungers and umbrellas. The sea views steal the show at The Reef Bar & Grill too, with its new seaside deck providing the perfect backdrop for Caribbean dishes, and for its weekly rum punch parties and barbecues accompanied by steel pan sounds. You can see why the Butterfly Beach Hotel is a great value for money resort in Barbados and a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner.

Gute Lage an der Südküste, fußläufig zum Fischmarkt und Supermarkt. Hatten 2 verschiedene Zimmerkategorien. Einmal Meerblickzimmer, was uns sehr gut gefallen hat, allerdings nur in den oberen Stockwerken. Es ist eine kleine Küchenzeile und kleiner Kühlschrank vorhanden. Es ist kein Luxus Hotel, aber das erkennt man auch auf der Webseite. Auf jeden Fall war es sauber. Das Bad ist ok, allerdings wird nur Seife und kein Duschgel zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Personal war immer sehr nett, an der Rezeption sowie im Restaurant/Bar. Das Frühstück hat uns nicht sehr gut gefallen. Es war sehr auf die englischen Touristen ausgelegt und sehr einseitig. Wir haben auch ein paar mal im Restaurant, das direkt am Meer liegt mit herrlicher Aussicht, gegessen und es war jedes Mal lecker. Das Poolzimmer hat uns nicht so gut gefallen. Das Interieur wirkte viel älter, besonders das Bad hat uns nicht zugesagt. Vorhang in der Dusche geht heutzutage überhaupt nicht mehr. Es ist auch wesentlich günstiger als das Meerblickzimmer.

He and a friend went to the Reef and ordered two drinks, but was told they couldn't have their diet cokes in their possession while sitting their. That upset them and they canceled their drink and left. Maybe you should adjust that rule? Some of the servers at the Reef could be more friendly. Other than that, it's a great secluded place. Very clean and beautiful views. Read less

We loved our 2 week stay at the butterfly beach hotel. Rooms was very spacious had a kettle, microwave, fridge, 4 electric rings and enough crockery for 2, our room was cleaned everyday by a lovely lady always happy and chatty when we bumped into her 👍 nice sized balcony. We never had a problem getting a sunbed and taking it onto the beach. All staff were friendly and happy to help. We ate a couple of times in the restaurant which served food that we really enjoyed. We loved the 2 happy hours for a rum punch each 😋 We have already booked to go back next year!! We can’t wait!! Read less
