South Gap Hotel

TripAdvisor Review
Barbados, Caribbean
Christ Church

South Gap Hotel is a beautiful, newly renovated oceanfront property which offers stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and exceptional service.

This property is located in the popular and lively St. Lawrence Gap on the south coast of the island. Guests have the opportunity to experience a taste of Barbados just outside of the hotel. “The Gap” is home to various bars, restaurants and nightclubs and is located close to shops and a major bus route. Beachfront relaxation is less than a five minute walk away if you wish to bury your toes in the sand or enjoy exhilarating water sports.

Indulge in the view from our oceanfront pool deck as you soak up the sun and enjoy cocktails blended with local rum or one of the many delicious dishes served from our poolside restaurant. Evenings on the pool deck also should not be missed – the combination of the sunset, the view and the flaming torches provide delightful ambience.

The pool deck is also the place to be on evenings – you don't want to miss the sunset and the tiki torches!

All of our guest rooms provide a spectacular view of the ocean and are finished with a trendy and modern style. Rooms are also conveniently equipped with kitchenettes, air conditioning, high speed wireless internet access, flat screen LED televisions and USB charging ports.

A return to paradise

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!

Beautiful hotel in Beautiful Barbados.

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.

Great Hotel in ideal location

This was our first visit to Barbados and chose this hotel for its location on the gap and its sea front location. It is ideally located with a selection of bars and restaurants within a short walk, the hotel is clean and staff are constantly making sure it remains spotless. From our first interaction with reception to our last day all of the staff were very polite and friendly especially the bar staff Amaul, Nick, Jacqausie and Shah. The rooms were comfortable with aircon provided free of charge as was a safe, the beds were comfortable and the room was serviced daily even after we had left a bit later than normal. The sunbeds were so comfortable and with the parasols being moveable it was never a problem finding some shade, pool towels provided on a daily basis and never struggled with having no bed. The food was always tasty and hot with a good selection and options throughout the day. We will be back to the South Gap

Amazing Stay!!!!!

This place is not only BEAUTIFUL but it’s smack in the middle of everything!!! Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance! There was a food truck steps away from the hotel ( The Gap Burger) they cook your food to order and it’s delicious!! There is also a restaurant on site which is also delicious! We went to The Dive Bar and The Cove Friday and Saturday and had an absolutely BLAST!! The staff were all super friendly and ensured we had a wonderful stay! There is also security on site, we never felt unsafe! I’d highly recommend this hotel, as it offers gorgeous views, great food and convenience!!! Book it!!
