Hotels near Islamic Academy of Barbados in Bridgetown

We booked the Hilton Resort as it was ranked highly, however it was not to our expectations. Firstly I will start off by giving full credit to the hardworking staff who worked very hard with the limited resources they have and tried their very best to make the stay comfortable for customers. The staff at the entrance meeting / greeting, reception area, restaurants, pool area and house keeping service staff deserve full credit. I had to rate the stay as 2 out of 5 simply due to the management decisions. We found the following issues during our stay, as listed below: 1) We understand that nature produces sea ****s, and there is no control of sea ****s gathering on the beach perimeter with the waves. However, there was no process or maintenance in place to run a tractor every morning to gather the sea ****s and litter from the sand on a daily basis. You find other hotels in the Carribbean (my recent trip to St Lucia) where hotels maintain their beach area early hours in the morning ready for customers. This is supposed to be Hilton (a worldwide known brand). The beach standard was the biggest disappointment for us. 2) No variety of food on the menu. Some of the restaurants were closed due to the season. We actually got bored with the menu as it was the same things to eat and in my opinion very expensive. We saw other customers ordering take away from external restaurants, which was very surprising, maybe they felt the same. We also explored the option and found that more variety is available externally and the price of food is significantly less than what your hotel offers. We actually ordered pizza and snacks externally with delivery service and it worked out to be an excellent deal. 3) There was 3 of us (2 adults and 1 infant) and we were only offered 3 very small bottles of water to last us a day. We then requested for 6 large bottles of water and we were charged a rate of around 11 BBD each which equates to around £4.73, so in total we spent £28.38 on water!!! Water is a necessity of life and we were charged a silly amount, not forgetting the bottles we purchased during dinner. Sounds embarrassing but we should have purchased a multi pack of water bottles from Lidl or Tesco in the UK which would have cost us less than £10 and bought that with us in our check-in luggage. 4) There is something wrong with the lifts. There are a total of 4 lifts, and only 2 appear to work. It takes ages to wait for a lift. Again something small as this can become frustrating if you need to use the lift a few times a day. 5) The room Fridge door did not close properly as the gasket seemed to be worn. 6) No kettle in the room. We needed to boil some hot water. This is basic equipment expected in a hotel room. 7) No microwave available to heat food. If the hotel cannot provide a microwave in each room, then maybe the cost effective to install a couple of microwaves in the same room you offer self service ice to customers. Microwave is an important piece of equ

I'm not sure why this hotel gets such terrible reviews. We thought it was brilliant! The staff were always friendly towards us. The room was clean and tidy (and cleaned daily during our stay) with plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The shower was hot and powerful at all times and the bathroom had toiletries and a hairdryer. Our room was in a quiet block within the hotel complex and we rarely heard a sound from other rooms. The pool looked lovely although we didn't swim in it because they had sun beds up on a raised part of the the pool which overlooked a stunning beach and the sea. There's a little cut-through to the beach at the end of the pool area and there was always plenty of beds available around the pool. The bar was great - they had some good snacks available and twice daily happy hour for drinks. And the hotel was close to a number of bars and restaurants and about a 20 minute walk to the Gap. My only small issue was that the hotel charged for the use of the room safe. It was only 3 Barbados dollars per day, but still I don't think guests should have to pay for a safe in this day and age. We stayed for seven nights at The Dover Beach Hotel and won't hesitate to stay again when we return to Barbados in the future. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

This hotel was exactly what we needed. From the beginning the service over the telephone was outstanding. Everyone was super helpful and kind over the phone. A special mention to Graham who arranged our taxi with Colin aka Taximan 246. Colin was right on time and took us safely to and from the airport. He was an amazing driver. We even hired him for other occasions. The staff in general was always wearing a smile and let me tell you CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The rooms were spotless and bed was comfortable. We were right on the Gap which made moving around even easier. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that isn't looking for luxury but is just needing a very warm clean reasonably priced accommodation in Barbados and on the St Lawrence Gap. I Will certainly return. Thank you for having us and I look forward to seeing you again. Xoxo Nicole & Trevor

I had an amazing stay at South Gap Hotel. Zero complaints. The hotel is nice and modern. All the rooms have a breathtaking view of the ocean and the pool deck. The rooms also have a kitchenette and a full size refrigerator which is convenient. My room was cleaned daily and replenished with toiletries and new towels. The staff is very nice, helpful, and accommodating even prior to my trip as I had a few special requests. The hotel staff also assisted with airport transportation. The restaurant located on the lower level of the hotel wasn’t like your typical hotel restaurant. It was very good and the drinks were great. Although it isn’t an all inclusive, the food is very affordable. The hotel also provides a voucher for a welcome drink and a 10% off voucher for dinner nightly which can also be used at their sister restaurant a short distance away. The hotel is located in the heart of numerous restaurants and bars. The beach is also a short walk from the hotel. The hotel met all my expectations.

First time visiting Barbados and we stayed at the Radisson for one week. Although the property is old and can use a face lift, our recent stay at the Radisson was nice. The hotel is located on a prime beach location with excellent views of pebble and brown beach. Our room was clean and bed was very comfortable. On one occasion the AC was not working and soon after we reported the problem they were able to fix it. The restaurant staff and services were less than desirable. We would definitely return to the Radisson for our next visit to Barbados.

The beach view is great! we stayed here for 3 nights, all foods are tasty 😋 staffers are nice and customer friendly. We will come back for sure!👍

Can't beat the location. Views from the balcony was stunning. Clean, safe, no frills. Staff were really really nice and helpful. What a great start to my holidays. Oh, and not too far from Oistens Fish Fry.

Just spent a week there and had a fabulous time. The hotel seems a bit older and at first I wasn't impressed, but quickly came to appreciate what it has to offer. Sure it could use a little updating but it was clean, the beds were very comfortable, I loved having a small kitchen in the room for breakfast and occasional lunches, and the views and location were what really sold it. The staff was great as well. A big plus is that it is easy walking distance to several restaurants, grocery and convenience stores and a wonderful food truck area. There is a boardwalk along a beach not far away that I didn't get to experience but others in my group enjoyed it. The beach in front of the hotel isn't one of those miles-long beaches but it is beautiful. Nice white sand and not rocky at all where you swim. The surf was too rough at the beginning of the week but by the end it was absolutely perfect for going in. Pools aren't huge but nice and conveniently located when the surf was too rough to go in the ocean. Getting chairs wasn't an issue and there's a lovely shade area if you want to be out of the sun. The only 2 issues I have with the hotel were the lighting in the room wasn't the brightest for putting makeup on and the restaurant is not one I'd go back to except for breakfast. It was good for breakfast but extremely limited for lunch and dinner. They don't get a lot of business so are limited on what they serve. Not a problem though since there are several places nearby. We are already planning on going back next year!
