This hotel is lovely and is located in a very beautiful stretch of beach. Bonus if you love pink. I can stair at the gorgeous resort+beach+ocean all day long. The rooms are generally clean and spacious. Beds are comfortable with nice linens. The bathrooms are dated and can be improved, but not dirty. There are a decent amount of facilities on site. I love the pool areas but wish there’s a more modern and bright indoor gym (there is a small one but it looks sad). Regarding the service — I absolutely appreciate how nice the staff are, the Barbadian people really have mastered hospitality. However, I really struggle with the restaurant on site. The service was unexplainably slow: waiting for 45+ minutes to get dinner (even simple dishes) is no fun and feels like a strategy to get people to order more drinks. In addition, the serving size vs price combination simply does not make sense. A single slice of French toast at breakfast costs 6x a croissant. And a main dish of jumbo shrimp contains 5 not-so-jumbo shrimps while much cheaper dishes that have shrimp as a protein option would give you a generous quantity of shrimp. It’s not a huge deal since there are many restaurants nearby, but surely disappointing.

Great hotel right on the beach. Big rooms with massive balcony with giant beds (We had the garden view which was also a view of the beautiful beach and sea. The staff that work here are so helpful, friendly and cheerful it is as if they had gathered the nicest people on the island of Barbados and got them all to work in this hotel. Reception was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to help with anything. I didn't know many of the staff by name but Richard was such a nice guy that you wanted to give him a big cuddle and Derek who worked in the restaurant and served us dinner one evening were two that made our stay feel so good. The food is good the location is second to none. Right in the centre of St Lawrence Gap with lots of bars and restaurants very close by. You have the capital, Bridgtown and Carlisle Bay 10 minutes up the road in one direction and Oistins with it's famous Fish Fry 10 minutes away in the other (get the local bus for about £1.25). Great hotel in a beautiful part of the island, lovely people here.What is not to like? Thank you Southern Palms Beach Resort. Everything was spot on. Incredible place to stay. We will be back.

Excellent location, very nice clean room with a partial sea view. Beautiful beach, we saw turtles hatching. Staff all very pleasant and location perfect whilst feeling very safe. My only criticism is the sunlounger situation. Some people reserve beds from 6am and then don’t sit on them for hours. Please buy more umbrellas and beds so that they’re laid out similar to le Roy next door. Would definitely recommend this hotel if this is fixed.

Best resort on the island, lots of beach space turtles galore to snorkel and watch, also swim on a nice sand bottom with some waves to play in or use the water sports, water is 83 degrees , you cannot find better! All the staff care and treat everyone as family, beach restaurant and bar is beautiful sit on the waterfront and enjoy the food and drink, I cannot explain what a joy it is to vacation there. Lots of good restaurants down the strip on the St Lawrence Gap all walking distance. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy the gem!!

We stayed here for our honeymoon in August 2025 and it was amazing. Lovely rooms, great staff and right on the beach. Awesome sunsets too. Never ate here as like to try different places but there are nice restaurants and cafes nearby. Got the local bus most days into Bridgetown which was only 3.50 Barbados dollars each way. Crazy drivers but good fun. Everyone so friendly. We also caught the bus to Oistins fish fry on the Friday night. Great food, music and drinks.
