My partner and I stayed at the Southern Palms between 23rd April and 3rd May 2012. We stayed in a second floor room (241) overlooking a large garden and patio area with a beach view no more than 30m away. The room was spacious and clean with high ceilings and old style window shutters which made the room completely dark... More

This hotel is nicely located close to everything that was needed for our vacation. But the rooms needed upgrading, we didn't have hot water once the whole week we were there. Beach was gorgeous and food was very good. More

Undoubtedly the best hotel overall we have ever stayed at. Ok, it may need a lick of paint in places but this is more than made up for by the position and layout of the hotel. The staff we found to all be extremely pleasant and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We regularly used the pool and it... More

The ambiance, wonderful staff, excellent service and beauty of this hotel located on a long, gorgeous beach should sell it but let me mention the wonderful entertainment and dancing under the stars provided by the Barbados Steel Orchestra, the Redmen, and Syndakit, afternoon tea around the small pool and the extremely well tended terrapins, fish and Koko the bird who...

We just completed a five night vacation at Southern Palms and we were very pleased with our stay. As a family of four, with two boys aged six and seven, the location and layout of the hotel was perfect for us. We had an ocean view room near to the carpark, which was ideal for us as we are locals... More

This was our 7 trip to Southern Palms. Rooms havn't changed in this time. Five Star Prices and third world accommodation. We will not be back. Staff are very good. Charles, Linda, Shirley, Monica, Clifford, Dale are all very pleasant and are good at their jobs. Management is a different story!!!!!!!!! Anyone in Barbados (natives or travellers) appear to be...

I booked this hotel based on the fact that it has a gym and in some reviews stated as a Fitness Suite.A rusty bow flex, a tread machine and a 1kg and 2 kg dumb bell do not meet my requirements for a gym or fitness suite. The hotel is in a great location, the staff incredibly friendly and the... More

This review is of the restaurant only as we didn’t stay in the hotel. During our month long stay in Barbados, we ate at this restaurant three times. Each time the food was delicious. The servers seemed genuinely happy to see us and greeted us with a warm smile. That alone would bring us back! I had the flying fish... More

We stayed for one night at this hotel in 2008 while passing through to another island and it was perfectly adequate for that with an acceptable, comfortable room and a good breakfast buffet (Sunday). Returned this year for lunch after a brilliant holiday further up the island and felt very disappointed. We ordered flying fish and waited 40 minutes. The... More

We were in St.Lucia for three weeks and decided to take a side trip to Barbados for a couple of days. Our friends had been raving about Barbados for years and thought it would be fun to check it out. I have to admit other than looking on trip advisor for a hotel, we had no clue what to expect.... More
