Rostrevor Hotel

The room is very spacious, but equipment is quite old. The shower doesn't work properly, water doesn't flow. Other than that, all good!

Arrived to room to find the headboard was very dirty with what looked like embedded grease stains which had been there a long time . The maid agreed that it was very dirty but no offer of a change of room was put forward to me and it was clear the dirty headboard had been like that for a considerable time . I also got a lot of bites from staying here - mosquitos or fleas is the question ? I stayed there 3 nights and it was only after I checked out they were planning on a steam and clean of headboard .room 108 also was a very noisy room as the door to the room is opposite a late night music bar where I was kept awake till 2.30am due to the music booming.

The hotel is located on st Lawrence gap which has a few clubs and restaurants. It can get quite noisy at night. If you opt for the sea view apartment you are less likely to hear the club on the opposite side of the road. The room itself is great, there is a kitchen where you can cook your breakfast and make tea, a working tap, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave. The balcony and the view is lovely. Woke up each morning looking out onto the blue water and blue skies! I went with my friend and so we had a double bed each which is very comfortable. The shower is a bit slow with water but if you run it for 3-4 minutes the water will get warm. We didn’t opt for the breakfast so cannot comment on what the food is like. Overall positive, my only complaint is beware when ordering taxi they quote in US dollars and not Barbadian dollars. The female receptionist misled me despite me asking her twice is the price quoted Barbadian dollar and she said yes. Then when we finished the taxi ride we were told it was in US dollar and not Barbadian dollars. I think that is a fundamental error by the receptionist and cost me unnecessarily. For that the hotel did not deserve a 5 star. In terms of location it is good but expect noise as you are directly opposite a nightclub called halo that is very noisy at the weekends especially the dj and his microphone shouting into it. The island is very small so everything is not far. It is worth hiring a car to get around the island otherwise the taxi fare will be expensive. A taxi fare from at Lawrence gap to the north of the island would cost you 120 Barbadian dollars one way. The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool and private chill out area and a restaurant to order drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I think i would stay here again.

Overall the stay was pleasant. The rooms could use some updating but it was fine for a short stay. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful.

This is my second time staying here ans I would stay again! Ms. Verna in the Almond Tree Restaurant was absolutely AMAZING!!! Please go see her when you stay here!
