Lovely, Casual hotel close to everything you need

Reviewed Jan 31, 2024
Lovely location, walking distance to restaurants, shops, ATM and a market. Friendly staff, nice pool for a dip, beautiful view down the beach. We loved hearing the crashing waves. Basic room with outdoor seating area. On an expensive island, Dover Beach Hotel is a welcome, affordable retreat. We had a lovely time.
Date of stay: January 2024
Room Tip: Room 202 has a great view of the pool down the beach.

This hotel was a great choice for us. The beach is very close (it’s best to swim outside of Sandals) and we could always get a lounger on the beach or by the pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was big and very clean. Only thing that would have been better is a few plates and knives and forks in the room.

Room tip: Don’t swim on the beach if there is red flag, which there nearly always is right beside the hotel.

Real value for money hotel. Not your typical glitzy Barbados hotel - but for once you get exactly what you pay for.

The location is great, at the far end of the St Lawrence Gap, and overlooking the sea. Same view (if not better) than the two adjacent (overpriced)Sandals hotels. Rooms are basic, but clean and functional.

At first the staff appear a little aloof - but once you make an effort with them they are warm and friendly. The small restaurant/bar is fine - and two “happy hours” each day provide plenty of temptation! The only criticism I have was the breakfast - which was poor to be honest. That said - both lunch and dinner were both perfectly acceptable.

One other observation - information is at a premium here! Very little detail available - for example, the hotel has two pools - but it was only on the day we left that we realised that!

Finally, can I suggest that the hotel gives up on their so called Cocktail party. It really was an embarrassment - with about 6 people attending. Maybe better to just have a karaoke hour or two! Apart from that - we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very pleasant stay. We had a standard room on the ground floor in the block adjacent to the main hotel. Our room was quite large (#322) compared to others we saw. It was mostly quiet although all the security doors are really noisy. Some guests had their TVs loud.
The pool is small but ideal and never crowded. The breakfasts were good value and we enjoyed the Happy Hour at the poolside bar. It's a very short walk to the beach. Great views from the terrace.
We had an enjoyable stay. The staff are helpful and it was a relaxed atmosphere. Short walk to cheap eats (Daddy's & Paddy Power) & to the bars of St Lawrence Gap. Can't complain!

With regards to the noise, our hotel is for the quiet relaxation of one and all, however, occasionally, we do have b remind our.customers to keep any noise level to a minimum.

Stayed here as couple over the Christmas period.
Location- hotel is situated at the end of St Lawrence gap, so it’s nice and quiet. It’s next to a beautiful beach. Bars & restaurants are a 10 minute walk.
Accommodation- room has everything you need. Comfy bed. Air conditioning. Balcony. It’s pretty basic but very clean.
Pool area- never had a problem getting a lounger by the pool or at the sea terrace. Food and drinks available.
What makes this place special in my opinion is the bajan hospitality. The owners/ management went out of their way to ensure that we were made to feel special and welcome during our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for Barbados on a budget.
