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.

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

I have stayed at southern palms before and was not blown away however I do walk onto the beach there which is beautiful, grab a rum punch at the bar and listen to the steel band during brunch.

Good points-great location on superb beach, rooms spacious and clean. Good food.Hotel concierge exceptionally helpful. Bad points - Hotel entertainment insufficient (unless you belong to the local salsa club who seem to take over 1 night a week, also country & western club another night when all seem to know each other) Staff friendly. Great place if you have visited... 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

Our third visit to Barbados and our third stay at Southern Palms. This time we stayed in one of the suites. Expensive but worth the money. As always the staff are fantastic and always remember you. A good sign of a good hotel is when the staff stay there for a long time and this is certainly the case. We... More

We went to Barbados for our 20th wedding anniversary in February. We wanted somewhere that was within easy walking distance of the action at St Lawrence gap whilst not being too noisy for sleeping. We found 'Southern Palms' ideal. 5 minute walk and your in the middle of the action. We had no noise at night apart from the whistling... More

We go every year, and the staff is always extremely welcoming and friendly. If you sit at the tables in the bar, you can look out at the sea while enjoying a varied menu of delicately prepared items. The drinks are wonderful, and there is a manager's party evey Monday night, in which Rum Punch and appetizers are served, including... More
