Barbados, Barbados Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We went for 8 days with our 9month old daughter and could not have been more satisfied. The rooms/apartments are incredibly spacious, have a beautiful ocean views, a generous kitchen and are finished to a very high standard. The same cleaner comes every day and does an incredible job at keeping the apartment clean (including dishes and laundry). The property is right by the beach and the gazebo serves a nice selection of food (e.g. fish, salads, sandwiches) and offers room as well as pool side service. The staff throughout Saint Peters bay is incredibly helpful and friendly, including the water sports guys and the very helpful concierge. I can highly recommend Saint Peters Bay for those looking to spend a quiet, relaxing, care-free holiday.

A very relaxed and well run hotel. A most pleasurable stay.

From the moment we checked in (on our honeymoon) until we left 6 days later our experience was awesome. The general manager took the time to learn our name, greet us upon arrival and again as we left. Fellow guests were all friendly. My rental car's battery died and they took care of everything while we were off playing golf. The food, especially daily breakfast, was fabulous. All needs were anticipated without request necessary. All-in-all, a great trip (I highly recommend Barbados as well).

We had an absolutely lovely stay for the 4 nights we were at The Round House. The staff are particualarly friendly, and attentive without being obtrusive. We actually got to know the owner, Gail, and Hoggie the local surf expert, and their knowledge made our time all the more enjoyable by guiding us to some areas we otherwise would not have found on our own. We would not hesitate to return to this hotel, in fact, we look forward to it.

Firstly the lasting memory of this hotel would be the exceptional staff. Throughout the hotel they were amazingly friendly and helpful. The experience was almost being part of a family !!! The is a small hotel with just 10 rooms and a very good restaurant ( La Luna ) and with small comes a serine peaceful environment. The hotel decor I guess is local Bajan but I would equate it as Andalcian meaning terracotta aspects and pottery adornments that my wife appreciated as she liked the character whereas I prefer a more modern , less fussy and a bright aspect. I guess it is just a question of taste. With regards to location it is right on the ocean with beautiful views. However there is no direct access to the beautiful beach. You have to walk approx 200 yards to the beach and the hotel staff are very willing to carry sun beds and shades to the beach if you prefer the sand to the pool. The hotel is very close to Oistins fish frie with only a 5 minute walk. However there is nothing else of interest (bars / restaurants ) within walking distance so a taxi is needed to go almost everywhere. So in conclusion if you like small hotels in a serene environment and outstanding staff this could be a place for you to consider. Pity about its position for me. Finally as a regular visitor to Barbados I was surprised by how generally expensive it has become. Expect normal UK prices for food and drinks plus 20%. This is widespread not specific to this hotel.

Very helpful and friendly staff, well equipped suite and across the road from the beach, all round a great place to stay. Nice pool area and roof top bar great for a sundowner. The Hut is a great little cafe on site serving breakfast and lunch. Paynes Bay fish market 2 minutes away and fish very fresh and prepared for you.

The place was peaceful, quiet and serene. Some days, I just stayed in my room and read while listening to the ocean, taking in the scenic views and comforting breeze.

We initially got a little lost as the corner to St. Lawrence Gap is obscured when approaching from the East. My husband and I felt very safe as we walked through the Gap visiting the different restaurants. Unfortunately, we did not have the best of luck on the first 2 days with food choices, however, we definitely made up for it during the remainder of the stay. My choices: Indian restaurant [can't remember the name], Harlequin <--those are in St. Lawrence Gap. Other restaurants in the area that we enjoyed: Pure Ocean, Champers,and Mojos. Anyway, back to the Condos.....Be on the lookout for WSB Villas on the building. We passed it so many times, until it clicked to us that WSB White Sands Beach Villas. The parking is a little tight, but it was a beautiful place. There is a beach and a pool in the back of the villas. The rooms are clean and very efficient use of space. There is a housekeeper that comes to cleanup every 2 or 3 days. My only little "thing" was that the bed was very low. I'm not accustomed to having low beds so it was a little strange to me, but other than that, it was a fantastic find!

Amazing location, great hotel and the staff can't do enough for each and every guest

Our stay at the coral beach hotel was a lovely experience the staff were very helpful and friendly.we were close to st Lawrence which made it easy for evening meals. The only minus about the hotel was the bar and restaurant was never open. Apart from that we would definitely stay There again
