3-Star Hotels in Saint Michael, Barbados

My recent trip to Barbados was elevated by my stay at Courtyard Marriott. The professionalism of the staff, coupled with clean and comfortable rooms, made for an unforgettable experience. The attentive restaurant staff added to the charm, and the hotel's convenient location provided easy access to transportation. A special congratulations to the General Manager for maintaining such high standards of hospitality. Courtyard Marriott exceeded my expectations in every aspect. #BarbadosTravel #CourtyardMarriott #HospitalityExcellence #TravelExperience

I'm not sure why this hotel gets such terrible reviews. We thought it was brilliant! The staff were always friendly towards us. The room was clean and tidy (and cleaned daily during our stay) with plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The shower was hot and powerful at all times and the bathroom had toiletries and a hairdryer. Our room was in a quiet block within the hotel complex and we rarely heard a sound from other rooms. The pool looked lovely although we didn't swim in it because they had sun beds up on a raised part of the the pool which overlooked a stunning beach and the sea. There's a little cut-through to the beach at the end of the pool area and there was always plenty of beds available around the pool. The bar was great - they had some good snacks available and twice daily happy hour for drinks. And the hotel was close to a number of bars and restaurants and about a 20 minute walk to the Gap. My only small issue was that the hotel charged for the use of the room safe. It was only 3 Barbados dollars per day, but still I don't think guests should have to pay for a safe in this day and age. We stayed for seven nights at The Dover Beach Hotel and won't hesitate to stay again when we return to Barbados in the future. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

Lovely apartment right on the beach. Large bed, fully equipped kitchen, microwave, kettle etc… Shower/ toilet Little sitting area outside we had a room on the ground floor. Beach towels are provided free of charge as are the beach beds and umbrella. Bayside snack bar on the beach with lovely food & drinks at reasonable prices All staff friendly and helpful There is also free parking Very handy for catching a bus to other areas Hastings, St Lawrence Gap , Bridgetown

Excellent mid size family run hotel. It's the 1st time we have stayed here for a Staycation and we were not disappointed. Everything is very clean and the staff were excellent. The room in the main building is large, massive bed with a settee, kitchenette with a toaster, kettle fridge, and microwave. The shower is large, and the towels are nice and fluffy. The view from the balcony was great looking out over the pool area and beach. There is a lot of sand on the beach with trees for shade if required. We went All Inclusive because we were staying for 3 days and just wanted to relax. Food and drinks were great. No idea what the annex is like, we wouldn't stay there as it is over the main road. Walking g distance is Jakes bar and restaurant directly opposite the hotel entrance. Turn right out of the entrance and 100 mtrs up across the road is Buzo an excellent Italian restaurant that also has a good range of cocktails and wines. All in all an excellent break from work, and we will definitely be back.

Our favourite Caribbean island and we will be back. I think when we come next time we would definitely upgrade to a bigger apartment style room, as we looked into those and they were more spacious, bigger kitchen, living area etc. However the price we paid and the beautiful beach and sea view we had it was amazing. The bathrooms especially could do with a big refurb, re grout, remove the shower curtain and upgrade to a rainfall shower etc. If it were to be refurbished it would be 10/10 especially due to the south coast location. The hotel is on the dated side which we were fully aware of and alot of the hotels are dated when it comes to barbados, unless you are in more of a resort. The room was clean and cleaned daily which was the most important thing. As for the food and drink, we did not really eat in the hotel as we were always out exploring the beautiful island! My partner had the fish cutter from the hotel which he enjoyed! We had drinks and the rum punch which were great, we particularly recommend the smoothies. Although i didn't hear bad things about the food, we did also find it on the pricier side, considering everything is on your doorstep for cheaper. The hotel itself was very quiet but this was due to us being there off season and before the main crop over events, this made it even more peaceful for us. However im not sure how easy it would be to get a sun lounger by the pool or beach if it was full. The pool areas were lovely with sea views easily seen from both. There was no entertainment in the hotel for when we were there, but we were not expecting it as its not a resort. We wish they cleaned up some of the seaweed off the beach when we had a few days of increased seaweed. The staff are amazing at the hotel shout out to TISHA, CHANELLE, AMANDA,CHANTELLE, REGGIE ＜3. We will miss you all, thanks for providing information that we needed especially bus routes and restaurant advice! As for location this is PERFECT for the south coast, there is so much to do on the island and you do NOT need to be all inclusive in barbados. For the supermarkets there is a massey, petrol station 24hr shop, trident all within 5 minute walk away, to get food and drink for your rooms. You are 15 minute walk from the gap which obviously has all your restaurants, also 15 minute walk away from the boardwalk which has a few more restaurants. Also plenty of bus stops around for the reggae vans to go up to bridgetown or oistins for only 3.50bd. Taxis are pricier so for west coast ideally hire a car, on average was around 70bd for west coast. But hire a car to make it easier to explore the whole island if you can! Try worthing food court 5 minutes away from the hotel, amazing authentic street food! I have listed below some places to see and eat The hotel is in need of some refurbishment, the pillows we did find lumpy, the wifi was temperamental cutting in and out and the bathroom is particularly in need of updating. HOWEVER the beautiful white sand beach
