What guests think

Travellers describe Bougainvillea Barbados as a clean, peaceful, beachside resort with friendly staff, spacious suite-style rooms, lovely pools and a relaxed vibe, while noting limited dining options, occasionally slow restaurant service, and a somewhat isolated south-coast location.

The beach is scenic with ample chairs and umbrellas, though waves can be rough and seaweed appears at times on this coast. Suites are large with kitchens and balconies, but parts of the property feel dated and there are no elevators. Expect a tranquil, family-friendly base on the south coast.

We were very pleased with the Bougainvilla Barbados. It is relatively small, but had a lovely beach close to our room, beautiful pools and a swim up bar. We enjoyed the restaurant for lunch and dinner. I would highly recommend this beautiful hotel and it was reasonably priced.

The staff were wonderful - very friendly and always willing to help if needed, great advice on areas of the island to be seen. The hotel was beautiful, rooms were clean and updated. We ate breakfast almost everyday at the restaurant onsite Calabash, they had a full english breakfast, french toast and omelets that were delicious. The swim up bar was fun and the other pool was great as well, with waterfalls and beautful flowers all around. The beach had plenty of chairs and umbrellas, the staff will bring you anything you need, was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend, beautiful place and always felt safe when walking around, day or night.

The beach was excellent. There were always enough chairs and umbrellas even though we were there during high season (Dec26-Jan1st). The main improvement they could make is to increase the number of cooks or cooking infrastructure. At lunch, we had to wait 1.75 hours for food after ordering. Getting food during the day is never under a 30 - 45 minute wait. The staff are great and they have adequate servers, they just need to speed up the delivery. The rooms are great, the views are excellent, the staff is wonderful, they have self service laundry as well. I would recommend this hotel.

This was a small well kept facility. The beach was clean and the staff were very friendly. They had a nice gym, free ping pong, and free use of kayaks and paddleboards. Staff would help you use the kayaks and paddle boards. Some of the showers had lukewarm water, the restaurant was so so, with slow service. Good happy hours specials for those that like alcohol. Overall this was a great facility.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Bougainvillea. Very friendly staff and great service in a convenient location. The spacious room offered separate bed and living room with a kitchenette and a balcony with view to the ocean. Good service at the beach with multiple water sport options. After a week of stay I feel wonderfully relaxed and will certainly consider to come back.

Positives are the gym, best hotel I’ve used in ages. Totally comprehensive range of different equipment. Big rooms, nice kitchen in them. Negatives, staff can be a bit hit and miss, some care some don’t. Not enough beds around pool. Beach area is a bit rougher than other areas on the island. I did have a good time overall.

I travel to Barbados every year and never stayed at this hotel. I have to say that the hospitality at this hotel is beyond excellence the only complaint I have is the fact that for me as a solo traveler I did not like the idea of my terrace facing someone else’s…they can literally look into my room from their room. The room was always cleaned and well maintained. Other than this, I absolutely loved this hotel and would t recommend it!

Other than needing a tiny bit of a touch up here in there in the room, our stay at Bougainvillea couldn't have been any better. Great location to explore the island from, breakfast with a view, incredible service from all staff members... I really can't fault it at all. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

The room we were assigned was not cleaned from the previous guest. They did provide us with another room, but we did not receive the king bed with an ocean view, we got two double beds with a pool view. The alternative room was cleaned. Both rooms plus our friend’s room were dated. The rooms need a refresh. I would give this a two star rating for a five star price. The grounds and the beach are nice.

The hotel is a bit dated, however the lobby is spacious and beautiful. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The Concierge staff was also very helpful. The room I had was very large with a kitchen and a large balcony with an excellent view of the beach and ocean. The room was very clean and serviced daily. From the hotel you can walk along the beach for about a half a mile. I did not eat at the hotel, so I can't comment on that aspect. I would have no hesitation staying here again.

The deluxe suite we had was large and nicely furnished and we loved sitting out on the full size patio. Would definitely go back again!

The property, rooms and facilities are all excellent and very good value. If you don't go for the all inclusive food package then any other decent restaurants are approx 15 - 30 minutes walk away. Only minor criticism of our room was that it was very dark and you needn't to have lights on the whole time

I went in June and the ocean water is dark brown and you can't swim in it. If i had known i wouldn't have stayed here. I think its an issue year round everywhere in the south of the island. I would check before going tbh. The hotel itself is nice, my room was excellent and new. The beds are too soft and the pillows were horrible. The gym is big and nice. The restaurant's food is good. I would skip the one next door, Deia. Its a little too kid friendly. Parents just let there kids scream and act crazy in the pool, so i never went in it or chilled near it. Its not the type of place i would stay if traveling solo.

Calabash is average food at best, and the staff gets overwhelmed very easy. The food takes forever. We did have a wonderful time in Barbados in general and did not spend much time at the resort. The beach was almost always too rough at the resort, but the morning that we left, it was beautiful and flat. It is a smaller resort and not so crowded which is nice. Room cleaning service was great and always done.

Very clean and quiet boutique resort with good amenities; house keeping was fantastic and very diligent and kind. Front desk service was mixed, some great and one or two staff seemed were poor -attitude, didn’t ask how our stay was when checking out, and there was an issue with arranging a taxi after confirming with them several times the need and time. Acted surprised when I asked and indicated it was late and we had to get to the airport after many other had been picked up already. Also, similar experience at the restaurant which was also periodically very slow - waited 2 hrs for our meal one night. My wife has celiac/ gluten allergy and was given food with gluten the first 2 days (glutinous bread under eggs) which she didn’t realize until getting quite sick... Suggest better training as some of the staff didn’t seem familiar even though the menus have gluten indicators listed and we stressed the need for it to be gluten free and to avoid contamination … overall a great resort but these are important aspects and should be addressed by management.

Walking distance to Gap Restaurants - but route has not great sidewalks and not well lit after dark, so you have to be careful.

The property was lovely and our room was great however it was a bit out of the way/secluded and you had to walk a fair distance along a road that had some dark areas to get to a ZR bus stop. Also the ocean was quite choppy in front of the property. We love to swim in the ocean but needed to walk up to Sandals area to swim as they have a breakwater. Still wasn’t totally calm there either.

On-site dining (especially Calabash) earns praise from many, but the menu feels limited, prices are high, and service can be slow with long waits. Guests also wish for more quick coffee/snack options.
