Spacious room with a small kitchenette area that had a fridge and toaster in. Great balcony area, ours over looked the side pool. Bathroom was basic but functional. Pool area was good, especially the front decking area, overlooking the sea. Sun loungers are a little dated. Only went to the restaurant a few times, but was nice if a little expensive.
We have been to Barbados a few times now and have always tried different hotels / appartments etc and saw that most people have a great stay at Butterfly Beach.
I booked the hotel separately to flights on a room only basis because I am a big fan of the local food and can always book the hotel restaurant if needed.
The hotels staff are on the whole welcoming and smiley, with the bar staff particularly so. There isnt always space on the decking or the pool for subathing but you can take a lounger down onto the beach (which is beautiful and quiet).
The room was fine, we always go for one with a kitchenette so can make things if we so wish and although it's nice to have a sea view, it's not top of my list of must haves when staying in Barbados as you are normally never more than a few minutes from somewhere you can see the beaches and water.
A short walk from Oistins in one direction and not that far to the Gap in the other direction although you will have to go inland to get to the Gap as the beach runs out. There are plenty of good restaurants and a small handful ot great ones within a couple of Km from the hotel.
There are shower and a bag storage room if you have a later flight, this was fine for us and the taxi to the airport was quick and cost about $50BD
Barbados is my favourite holiday destination and feels like a home away from home. There is loads to do and if you are looking for somewhere friendly and relaxing, look no further. The Butterfly beach is a super little hotel, do not go thinking it is a big resort with loads of modern gadgets but look at it as a quaint smaller hotel and I am sure your expectations will be met.
I will definitely be returning!
Great place great stay very well looked after good value for money beach at back and pool lovely food great staff,will use again and very family friendly drinks and food good value and very nice great music and barbie night,rooms cleaned daily ideal that they give u fridge and kettle and cooker in your Room
Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights, just needed to take a break and the hotel was very affordable.
The Hotel manager was also very welcoming and warm.
When I booked the hotel I wasn’t looking for spectacular and I was very happy with my stay for what it’s worth.
The hotel is also in “walking” distance from the small fishing town of Oistines …which is a plus if you want to experience a true feeling of Barbados
And I was told I had just missed their Oistine fish festival which is held every Easter Weekend
I will however say there has also been a few take away from the hotel that I think management needs to work on or simply look into.
I had a late check in, (7/730pm) and when I got there I was treated with a dimmed lobby and had to call out for reception to come out of a back room to attend to me, also after checking in I was pointed in the direction of my room…which I had to find myself
There were small ants in my room/ kitchen areas but I wasn’t really bothered seeing I wasn’t planning on using the kitchen area
The breakfast was depressing; it had a small selection and as a picky eater that made it even more difficult.
But the sausages were amazing
The staff in my opinion are very laid back, and there is no rush to do anything, and I feel at times you had to constantly check on them to ensure your requests are being processed
Even though I dined at the hotel restaurant for my entire stay there, I was only offered water once, I had to ask about specials, there was no hostess to greet me and I had to wave down a staff in order to get assistance, asking for a glass of ice took 10 minutes to get, which I ended up going for myself
My overall experience at the hotel was fine, because I simply wanted a space where I can unwind.
I will somewhat recommend
My friend and I … dropped into the Butterfly restaurant one evening , our waitress was Yvette. We got Yvette immediately, because we are also Bajans. She is Hilarious. We returned, four times after that with friends for lunch, drinks and lots of appetizers. The prices are ridiculous affordable, given Barbado’s high dining costs and one of the few hotels around providing Entertainment. The wonderful Mr.Impact on Wednesday evening performs.And keep a keen out for the Restaurant Manager, she dances like a Bajan.😅😅👏🏽👏🏽
I was in Barbados February to March. Every occasion was thoroughly enjoyable, I visited.👍🏽👍🏽
