Dec 01, 2024Another amazing stay!
We are back from our second stay at Bougainvillea and it was amazing. I was celebrating a special occasion on this trip. When we arrived, our room was decorated and included a celebration card and a bottle of wine. The room and property are very clean and well maintained. Every day you can see staff doing repairs/upkeep work. The staff are very friendly and remembered us from our previous stay. I booked a massage at the spa and it was amazing; so relaxing and reasonably priced. Staff were always asking if everything is okay with our stay and if we needed anything. Staff in all areas were always ensuring our stay was good; even when we walked by maintenance or security staff they asked if everything is okay with our stay. Customer service here does not end with the front line staff (e.g. front desk, restaurant wait staff); it is a culture embedded with all staff. The weather was hot so the cold facecloths that were brought to beach guests were very welcomed. Beach staff would always come and set up umbrellas for shade it required. Thank you Michael! Food at the Calabash and drinks at the pool bar were great. It was so nice to see Vivian, Lisbeth and Joshi again! I like the location of the hotel. It is in a quiet area, but if you wanted more activity and restaurants, it is only a short walk away. It is also a short walk to the bus stop and hotel staff are always available to arrange a taxi if required. I would stay here again if I return to Barbados. The hotel and its staff feel like family! All of the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay.

Nov 24, 2024Problems with rain.
Overall good hotel. It may be a valid option to stay, however we stayed for two nights, there was a lot of rain those days. The second night the issue of water inlets was terrible, a stream of water came through the balcony door and several leaks or water inlets in the room and in the bathroom. For me this is unacceptable, considering this type of hotel and with a cost according to the category of the hotel. Let the person know when you check out and the only thing he said was thank you for letting him know.

Great place, amazing staff
We have recently returned from a two week stay at the Bougainvillea. We were truly sad to leave this resort. Their outstanding feature is the staff, the service we received from organising our stay straight through to our final day was exemplary. Every single member of staff we came into contact with was polite, extremely helpful and genuinely pleasant. We came to the Bougainvillea with friends to celebrate and the Bougainvillea staff were very accommodating of our requests and instrumental in making our celebrations very memorable. The resort itself is lovely with their namesake flower in bloom throughout. The site is not too big or too busy and it is very well kept, clean and bright. There are no lifts, only stairs if you are on the upper floors but we saw this as a benefit towards working off the great food and drink we were enjoying. We had a junior suite that was spacious, clean and well lit. There was a kitchenette supplied with basic utensils, plates, glassware and pans to make a small meal. We ate breakfast most mornings on our balcony and if you want to go down this route, there is a Massy grocery store just up the road in Oistins. The bathroom was a good size with a large walk in shower. We loved the illuminated magnifying mirror, it was a great touch. The room came with robes for our use that came in handy. The air-conditioning worked well and we were always comfortable. We met some lovely housekeepers who did an amazing job keeping our room looking great; our favourite was Brendalee, she brightened our day. We had a spa treatment, back and shoulder massage. It was just what we needed to work out the kinks after a long flight. Our only regret is that we didn’t go back for more. Too busy getting out and about in Barbados. We were always able to find a beach lounger no matter the time of day. The pool area was a bit busier; this wasn’t a problem for us as our preference is to stay on the beach. It was so refreshing not to experience the inconsiderate habit some travellers have at other locations of “saving” loungers from dawn till dusk; it just didn’t happen here. They operate a beach towel exchange which was always stocked with fresh towels when we swapped. The beach and pool areas are well staffed and kept clean. They all make sure you are comfortable. We were regularly offered beach umbrellas, cool towels and Jello shots by the Water Sports team who look after the beach area. The pool bar was great fun during happy hour which runs from 3:30 to 4:30. Watch out for the rum punches, they can catch you unawares! Juan Jose and George were the bartenders we engaged with the most and they were amazing. They all were fantastic; we just can’t remember everyone’s name. We liked that there were separate pools for adults and children. We normally stay at adult only resorts but we were unable to this time and though we are not used to having kids about, it wasn’t too bad. The Calabash is the restaurant on site. They were always accommodating and extremely pleasant; though the service could be a bit slow at times, it was well worth the wait. We really enjoyed Thai night on Saturdays. It was always best to make reservations as they did get busy some nights. We ordered “take away” to our room a few times. It is a limited menu and usually took about 45 minutes but the food was just as nice. You could collect it from the restaurant or get it delivered to your room for an extra $15.00. There was musical entertainment some afternoons and most evenings which added to the atmosphere. We could clearly hear the entertainment from our balcony which was nice on the nights we stayed in. The only slight down side is that the resort wifi was not very reliable during our visit. When it did work there was great coverage but there were many times during a day when we just couldn’t get connected. To some extent that was a good thing as it forces you to get off the phone and enjoy what is around you but it made it a bit difficult to make needed connections back home. The resort is very close to the Oistins Fish Market where the weekly Oistins Fish Fry happens on Friday nights. It is a great Bajan experience, give it a go but go early. St. Lawrence Gap is about a 20 minute walk (using the beach path) where there is an abundant choice of restaurants and entertainment if you are looking for something different. We didn’t use taxis, preferring to use public transport. The mass transport options (blue buses, yellow buses, white ZR vans) are $3.50 per ride which is a very reasonable way to get around. We mostly used ZR vans as they would pick you up and drop you off anywhere on their route. Just tell them where you want dropping off; they were always friendly and helpful. Using them is an experience, you have to be comfortable with some fast driving, loud music and getting up close and personal with strangers but it is a great way to get about. We would definitely go back just on the amazing customer service this place offers. Every single one of them we deserves an award. They were fabulous representatives of the Bougainvillea and Barbados. This was our first trip to the Bougainvillea and our third to Barbados, it gets better every time.

Cocktails from heaven
What a gem of a hotel. Have tried to book in the past but always full. Have just got home and don’t normally do reviews but this is such a nice place I had to write this. The staff are first class and are the for every need. The beach has the whitest sand and the beach staff keep it clean and are there if you need an umbrella. Just a short walk to the Gap if you need extra night life. But the best thing about this hotel is the swim up bar, the cocktails are probably the best on the island expertly made by Jose and Geoffrey. They are both amazing and entertaining, it would be rude to say what one was the best cocktail make. If you get the chance go and judge for yourselves

Absolutely will go back!!!
Our experience at the Bougainvillea resort was amazing. I would ABSOLUTELY return. The entire front desk was super warm and friendly at all points when we needed help. Kemar was great at getting us set up in our room when we arrived, and making sure we knew how to work the fans and everything. The housekeeping staff were amazing as well, Shavanna in particular was very understanding with my kids wanting to sleep in late and set us up with anything we needed even when the time was awkward, so we really appreciated her. Other things I appreciated? I have never seen a resort that was so well set up with tons of lounge chairs, everyone had their pick and everyone had a chair to enjoy the pool or ocean . Seriously!! No fighting for any beach chairs! Bathrooms and bedrooms super clean. Toilets flush GREAT. We did a lot of take out from the restaurant, everything we tried was very good. Very safe and private. Overall, one of the most relaxing vacations I have had in my life because the resort makes sure everything is taken care of, is very helpful, and you can just melt into your beach chair for a week and worry about nothing :)
