We had forgotten to bring cash with us, and unfortunately, they didn't accept cards. However, they kindly offered us a drink and told us to return another day to settle the payment. The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and the beach location was absolutely delightful. We are grateful to Snowy's for the wonderful experience.

Crystal Cove beach

This was my first visit to Barbados and I must say, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff, from the front desk to the bar staff, were incredibly friendly. The beach was absolutely breathtaking, and the food was equally impressive. I am currently still here, so I will provide an update once I leave, but thus far, I highly recommend it. Thumbs up!

Mango Bay
10 Lila Anderson

This beach has quickly become my favorite spot on the island! The food is fantastic, the ambiance is incredible, and the beachfront location is top-notch. What sets this place apart is the exceptionally friendly staff, which is not always easy to find in Barbados. It's a hidden treasure that both tourists and locals adore.

Sandy Lane beach
9 Gaelen Paley

I was absolutely blown away by the stunning beauty of this beach - it's easily the most gorgeous one I've ever had the pleasure of visiting! However, getting there can be a bit of a challenge, as it's not exactly easy to access. You can't just stroll straight down to the shore - instead, you'll need to head south past the Sandy Lane hotel and look for the entrance next to ONE Sandy Lane. But trust me, the effort is well worth it!

Fosters beach
6 Willard Johnson

We decided to drop by for some drinks, and the service was friendly while the drinks were satisfactory. The beach bar had a charming location right by the beach, resembling the kind you would envision in the Caribbean. The only problem we encountered was the pricing. We happened to overhear the staff discussing our status as tourists and deliberating on how much to charge us, resulting in a higher cost for what we received. It was evident that there was a two-tier pricing system in place, which is a common occurrence in Barbados.
