Beautiful hotel in Beautiful Barbados.
Pros:

Second time South Gap hotel. Absolutely love it. The room we had was on the pool deck looking over the ocean.
All the staff are lovely. The lady checking us in asked if we were celebrating anything special. They left balloons and a card in the room for my husband’s birthday.
We also received a gift as it was our second visit. The hotel is in a great position near everything. The restaurant /bar is open all day and has a nice menu. The lady who looked after our room deserves a special mention as she was so nice.
Can’t wait for next year already booked.

A return to paradise
Pros:

My wife and I have just spent 2 wonderful weeks at South Gap Hotel. We were return visitors having stayed there at Easter 2025 . Not only did we receive a discounted rate for the return visit but there was also a gift bag waiting for us.
This hotel is an absolute gem! It has only 34 rooms so there is no sense of overcrowding and there are always sunbeds available. The decking area is very smart and the pool is a perfect size. We requested the same room as last year and it was no problem at all to secure it. Our room was on the same level as the deck and restaurant areas but felt very secluded. The apartment was spacious with a kitchen area and a large walk in shower. The bedroom was equipped with a very efficient air conditioning unit and the kitchen area had a ceiling fan. At no time did we ever feel too hot. The standard of cleaning was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the fantastic housekeeping team. It was great to see the lovely Lana again!
The restaurant and bar area is very spacious and clean and all the team were very polite and helpful. We ate in the restaurant a few times and the food was amazing , especially the cou-cou and flying fish.
The reception team are also fantastic and always happy to help out with anything such as booking a taxi or a restaurant table.
The location is perfect for venturing out in the Gap where there are lots of good bars and restaurants. The Gap is vibrant but at no time did we hear any noise whilst in the Hotel. The main road is a very short walk away to get on a bus or a ZR and Massy’s supermarket is about a ten minute walk should you want any provisions.
All in all this hotel is a real winner and we would never consider staying anywhere else when we return. We felt well looked after and well loved by all the wonderful staff.
Thank you South Gap!

Todo bien pero estafa en la reserva
Pros:

Localización, las instalaciones y el personal

Cons:

El sistema de reserva. TE ENGAŇAN EN CUANTO AL PAGO. Hicimos una reserva para 4 días y 3 noches, para empezar seleccionas dos y la reserva se hace solo para una persona, TENEIS QUE MANDAR UN MENSAJE. Cuando
llegamos ahi, el precio no tenía nada que ver con el que nos salía en booking, puesto que te sale solo el cobro de 2 noches y al llegar al hotel nos cobraron 300 y pico dollars más por la tercera noche (mas de lo que ya se había PAGADO). Además, seleccioné pago en el hotel y me lo cobraron a los pocos días de la reserva en booking. Su justificación fue que ellos te Mandan un mensaje (que no leimos) diciendo lo de la tercera noche así que NO pudimos reclamar nada. TENEDLO EN CUENTA!!

Peaceful Holiday
Pros:

We have just returned from a 4 night stay after staying in New York and needing some peace and relaxation, the South Gap did not disappoint. The accomodation was lovely, clean and fresh, great bathroom and amazing sea views. The pool area was so clean, the bar served gorgeous food and we were made to feel so welcome. From the ladies on reception, the cleaning staff and the restaurant/bar staff could not do enough for you. Well worth a visit.

Excellent stay
Pros:

This is an excellent small (~36 rooms) hotel right on the strip in St Lawrence. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and are serviced every day. The food here is very good being both of great taste and also cheap! We had a special anniversary here and they did a lovely surprise with a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely card.
The view from the room is breathtaking and I’m sure we’ll be back!
The staff are all lovely and welcoming. I hesitate to single a member of staff out but Nick went above and beyond on one of our nights there. Thanks to all the South Gap Hotel staff - it’s a pleasure to stay here!

An excellent 5 night solo stay and would definitely return
Pros:

The location, facilities and the service provided by the staff are all superb. The kitchenette facilities are way more than you’d find in 90% of properties. Seriously impressive!!

Cons:

I’m a solo traveller so it was a bit expensive for one, but for a couple it would be very good value

Clean comfortable rooms a great pool deck overlooking the ocean.
Pros:

Art deco vibe, bright clean suite, comfortable bed with good linen, nice pool deck, direct view of ocean from room balcony. Free secure parking.

Cons:

If you are going to use the kitchenette to cook for yourself it’s a fair way to get provisions. The onsite restaurant is ok, though.

Fab little hotel in the heart of St Lawrence Gap
Pros:

We had a one bedroomed apartment overlooking the pool and the sea. Views were amazing and the hotel itself was lovely. Very clean and well equipped, comfortable bed, good air conditioning and really lovely staff who were all incredibly friendly and helpful. This hotel is in the centre of St Lawrence Gap but peaceful at night. Very comfy sun loungers and good range of drinks and food but easy walking distance to other bars and restaurants. We would love to stay here again.
