“Fantasic Hotel”

If you are thinking of going to Barbados I would recommend this hotel to you. The staff are helpful to your every need and nothing is too much trouble. The manager invites you to his house for a sunset cocktail party it is noy to be missed. The apartments are second to none , well equiped and kept very clean. we will be going back as soon as possible it was a great holiday.

“One of the best places we have ever stayed!!”

My wife and I stayed at the Beach View for 8 days in early November. Our unit was on the 3rd floor with a marvelous view of the ocean. It's literally a 4-5 minute walk to a outstanding beach just across the road. The staff were second to none. Everything was immaculately clean and well maintained. Robin Walcott, the owner, invited all of the guests to his wonderful beachfront home for a cocktails and snacks. We had a great time, met his family and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. From the time we checked in until the moment we left, we felt Robin and his staff were here to help us. Having a full kitchen, washer and dryer and separate sleeping, dining and cooking areas was a huge advantage. We sat on the balcony most evenings and watched the splendid Caribbean sunset. You will not find any better! Another plus is the bus stop right in front of the hotel. Very inexpensive buses run back and forth between Bridgetown and Holetown every 10-15 minutes. There is a large supermarket in Holetown (10 minutes away) where got our groceries. Guests who would prefer to dine out will find several restaurants within walking distance of the Beach View. We travel frequently and always provide feedback on our hotels. Usually there are a few things to nit-pick about, and we rarely give any hotel full marks. The Beach View is the first where we have done so! We will unquestionably stay at Beach View when we return to Barbados, and we highly recommend it to others.

“Best place to stay on the West Coast”

We found the standard of service to be very high, more like a hotel than a self-catering apartment. Upon arrival at Beach View we were met by the owner Robin and a member of staff who took our bags up to our apartment whilst we checked in. We had a problem with our car hire but this was promptly resolved by Carrie at reception in less than an hour even though we had not made the booking through the hotel. We found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful. One of the highlights of our stay was the invite to the managers cocktail party, rum punch, nibbles, and transport to and from were provided. The team at Beach View especially Robin treat their guests like old friends! The apartments are in excellent condition being only a few years old, all of the white goods and furnishings are of a high quality – better than we had expected from the photos on expedia. One of the things that impressed us was just how clean the apartments were. We could not fault the housekeeping. The apartment itself was large, we had a three bedroom apartment even through there was just the two of us – the other rooms were locked off during our stay. There is a safe in the room and also a washer/dryer which we found useful. We also appreciated the bagels which we found in our fridge!

“Best Holiday Ever!!”

Stayed there for 10 nights, if I had to describe Beach View with one word, ‘AMAZING!’ We were met and greeted by the owner Robin, all of the staff can’t do enough to make sure your stay is the best holiday yet. Apartment was excellent, very well equipped, and spacious and the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. It was very good that air conditioning had just been installed and made a real difference. Room was cleaned every day; pool was like our own private pool, with the busiest day being 6 of us round it. Beach is just across the street, the locals will even stop to let you cross. There is a great reef to explore if you’re into snorkelling and every day we had the beach to ourselves. Would highly recommend a spot of breakfast at the hut on the site and even lunch if you’re still hungry. Now the bad points; after being so relaxed, trying to get into the wrong room with our key! We thought long and hard of any other bad things and honestly can’t think of any! Have stayed in a Sandals resort in the Caribbean and our holiday in Beach View was better!

“Great Stay at Beachview”

A great stay at the Beachview Hotel. It is located in St. James, Barbados.We arranged an airport transfer with the hotel prior to our arrival. We were greeted as soon as we arrived to Beachview. The ladies at reception are very helpful and friendly. The manager was very kind to give us a tour of our suite. It was a great large living space with all the required amenities. It was on the first floor overlooking the beach. A great area as the beach is literally right across the street. (5 min walk). The beach can stretch down 1-2 km. The beaches are named differently as you contiue to walk down the beach. Within a 10 min walk on the beach called Paynes Beach, there is a place you can rent lounge chairs + Umbrellas. Also if you're a strong swimmer you can swim up to the sea turtles in the area. Beachview is walking distance to a few restaurants, a 24 hour gas station/convenience store. Also a great Roti place within 5 mins from the hotel. Staff was very helpful with excursions, special arrangements and recommendations. The pool was large and refreshing. It is one big swimming pool split into a kids and adults swimming pool. I would definately come back to Beach View.

“Impeccably run”

The Beach View is an excellent establishment, and ideal for those who like the added freedom of having full kitchen facilities, particularly as the island is not cheap for eating out. The in-suite washer and dryer are a godsend too for those who like to travel light or hate arriving home with a case of dirty laundry. The rooms are very spacious, well appointed and scrupulously clean, and the gardens are lovely. The pools (one a children's pool) are only steps away, and well-maintained. The breakfasts and great service at the Hut are not to be missed, and the reception staff could not be more helpful or pleasant. Overall, very happy with the Beach View; if I had a small gripe, it would be that there is only air conditioning in the bedrooms. On very hot, humid days, air conditioning would have been extremely welcome in the main room, as we found ourselves having to leave doors constantly open which attracted insects, particularly at night.

“Excellent Hotel and Location in Barbados”

Deserved high ratings from TripAdvisor and Expedia. Excellent location - several beautiful beaches, walk to a number of excellent restaurants, outstanding team running the hotel - very organized, responsive, well connected to Barbados activities - car rental, scuba, snorkel trips, etc. Hotel itself is very well maintained and apartments are well appointed. Would definitely go back to the Beach View.

“Excellent Family Friendly Hotel”

This hotel complex is a family run operation with an informal friendly style where nothing is too much trouble (booking excursions, restaurant reservations etc), the spacious well appointed apartments are maintained to a high standard and the daily maid service is excellent. The pool area is well maintained with a friendly communal atmosphere and the cafe serves a good selection of snacks and drinks and I can recommend the bacon & egg breakfast roll. We found the hotel location to be very good, it is across the road from the beach and after a short walk along the shore line it opens out onto a large well served beach, it is located within walking distance of a number of very good restaurants that includes The Cliff (Exclusive) and Scarlet which is fun, friendly and reasonably priced. For getting around we would recommend a car but Hole town with its shopping and restaurants is easily reached by taxi if you did not want to drive.

“best staff”
