Ok not great
Pros:

Our main guy behind the bar, we was told supervisor, thank you for great service. We stayed 11days just before Xmas return to uk.

Would I stay again NO, service really poor at breakfast, items forgotten, then minutes late rest of breakfast cold. This is early with 3 tables in. One waiter in particular poor. He doesn’t write orders down. To cocky to write. The location is ok. Nothing going on only a happy hour.

We was not on breakfast included. We paid from main menu, 50 plus every day I can say, not one morning in 8 out of 11 days was it right. Basics not right sorry. Great view, ok housekeeper.

Exceeded Expectations
Pros:

We stayed here for 1 week to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having previously stayed at The Rostrevor and Yellow Bird hotels, South Gap was certainly on a par and possibly the best out of the three. Breakfast was good, especially the spicy Bloody Marys.and nothing was too much trouble for reception and room servicing.
If your choice of resort is St Lawrence Gap, then would highly recommend this hotel.

Relaxing Stay with Great Views in St. Lawrence Gap
Pros:

We recently spent 9 nights at the South Gap Hotel. It was a calm and pleasant experience that worked well for our needs in Barbados.
The Highlights
• Housekeeping: The housekeeping staff were great—very friendly and consistent with their work.
• Sunsets & Pool: The hotel offers some nice sunset views from the property. The pool area is also a pleasant, quiet place to spend time. There are occasionally some loud guests, but the nights were quiet.
• Room Features: The bed was comfortable, and we found the kitchenette to be quite well-equipped for making e.g. breakfast.
• Convenient Location: It’s in a good spot with many restaurants within walking distance. While there isn't a beach directly on-site, a nice beach is just a short walk away.
Points for Improvement
• Shade Access: I prefer to stay in the shade, and I found that the parasols at the pool weren't quite sufficient for that. As a result, we spent a significant amount of our time relaxing on our patio instead.
• Room Condition: The room was slightly dated with some minor maintenance needed, though it was kept clean.
Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a quiet stay in a central location.

A fantastic Hotel in a great location
Pros:

We enjoyed a ten night stay at this wonderful little hotel on The Gap. From start to finish we could not fault it. The reception staff are so helpful always greeted with a smile. The bar staff were attentive , the house keeping and maintenance staff were outstanding everyone went above and beyond to ensure the hotel looked beautifully clean at all times. It’s in a great location not too many rooms, ours was a suite which gave us a sofa bed ideal as our son joined us for a surprise 7 night stay. Great views from the balcony and from the deck area ideal to watch the sunsets. The food was excellent and the cocktails, there are two happy hours !. On the whole we could not fault it . We will definitely make a return trip our daughter is already planning to book.

Fantastic hotel
Pros:

Absolutely stunning hotel, comfortable, well maintained and all the staff were amazing. It felt like being with family. Location for eating out was great and the hotel food was delicious too

Cons:

Not really the hotels fault, but Unfortunately there is an Irish bar across the road, which seems very out of place for the area and it plays very loud music until 2am, which is louder on Friday/Saturday nights. Apparently there are some rooms that are not affected by the bar.

Perfect place to stay in Barbados
Pros:

Everything was perfect — the location, the staff, and the beautiful beach just five minutes away. The sea view was absolutely unbeatable. We’d love to come back again. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, and they thoughtfully congratulated us with a lovely bottle of wine. The restaurant was also excellent for both breakfast and dinner.

I would stay here again, great staff, breakfast was good but slow and a great location.
Pros:

The overall stay was a good experience. The staff were very attentive and friendly throughout the whole stay.

Cons:

The only con was we had a king bed in which they use two mattresses and one was way softer then the other in which we didn’t like.

Pros:

Good location within the gap, easy enough to walk around the restaurants.
The hotel seemed newly renovated, clean and well maintained.
Great staff always happy to help.
Pretty relaxed place. Just nice for a holiday as beaches are nearby and you always return in evening to enjoy the food and drinks in the Gap.

Pretty spot
Pros:

Amazing views from pool deck, outdoor restaurant, and balconies. Terrific service in restaurant, competitive prices, large portions. Rooms small, but well-appointed. Lots of food choices nearby, night club across the street with loud music late into the night.

Excellent property, well located, very clean & we will be staying there again
Pros:

The location was excellent & the quality of the hotel is very high standard. The food was well presented & very tasty, good value for money. The view was great.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have the sunbeds outside our suite reserved due to sitting on our terrace there were people lay about 2meters away so it lacks a little privacy, but that’s being a little picky
