We have been visiting the Southern Palms in St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados for close on 30 years, but never again !! The staff are still pleasant and friendly, the setting is great and the beach is just as beautiful. The only thing that has changed is the niggardly attitude of the management to the interests of their British customers. It... More

All of the Hotel Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel bed was the most comfortable i have slept in away from hom for many years.The beach it was on was very quiet. the food in the hotel was good and there were plenty of good restaurants in walking distance or short cab rides. More

We went back to this hotel for our first wedding anniversary as we were so pleased with it the previous year on our honeymoon and we were not disapointed again. The hotel frontage takes quite a bit up of Dover Beach which gently slides into the sea. The hotel staff are extremely polite and accommodating, the grounds are constantly being... More

previous reviews on Tripadvisor warned me about staying at The Southern Palms Hotel, they said unfriendly staff, unclean rooms and that the hotel was tired! These previous reviews are misguided. Having stayed there Christmas eve with my husband I can only offer praise for the warm hospitality that greeted us upon our arrival. Our room was a garden view room,... More

We went to the Southern Palms hotel for their Sunday Lunch Buffet. They have a steel band playing and we were hoping for a lively, event with good food. While our server was great, the "maitre d'" was quite unwelcoming. The food was reminiscent of boring, stodgy, English mush from the 1960's. The Steel Band was not able to bring... More

My mum and I just came back from another wonderful stay at the Southern Palms Beach Club ... it's the perfect place to beat those wicked November blues!!! Ideally situated on a quieter stretch of the lively St. Laurence Gap, this charming colonial style hotel is within easy walking distance to everything - shops, bars, restaurants, etc. The lovely ocean...

We were concerned by some of the reviews before we left but need not have feared as Southern Palms was very good all round. We booked a garden view room through Virgin for 14-nights but actually received a better sea view room, although most rooms appear to offer a sea view to some extent. The room was good, the hotel...

I have stayed at this hotel before as I love it! Wonderful staff, lovely food and great hotel pets. I enjoy singing to the parrot, feeding the cats and watching the terrapins/fish! Two nights in a row there were hatchling Hawksbill turtles on the beach and I felt honoured to collect them up in a bucket with a torch for... More

We were somewhat apprehensive about our dream holiday after reading some other peoples reviews of this hotel, but have to say that we really should not have worried. The location of this hotel more than makes up for some of the moans and groans we have read on previous reviews. I have to say that we found all the staff... More
