Popular Oistins 4-star Hotels

Firstly, - I LOVE ‘The Bougie’ (as my friends and I that have regularly stayed there fondly call it!) HOWEVER, I just returned (to the UK) a few weeks ago after a 2-Month stay there, where I was COMPLETELY disappointed and dismayed by the Hotels’ approach to the Sargassum Sea**** that blights the entire Caribbean at this time of year! For those that have not experienced it, it can pile-up to over 60cm+ in the blink of an eye, and (obviously) while the Hotel has NO control whatsoever over what happens in the sea, it took WEEKS, and a ‘biting’ email from myself to their Operations Manager, before ANYTHING was done about the rotting, stinking **** that had washed-up on the usually stunning white talcum-powder sands of its beach, - at one point within 20m of the hotel’s (overly-expensive for what is on offer I might add) beachside restaurant! To rub salt into the wound, the other two hotels on the same stretch of beach, (Turtle Beach & Sandals) cleared theirs diligently and constantly EVERY DAY, as they obviously took on board that the reason we pay the (increasingly) high costs to visit their island, is to experience exactly these unparalleled gems of nature (sand and sea) and don’t want to wade through disgusting-smelling, noxious-fumed, knee-high ****, in order to enter the bath-temperature waters! My email to their OM was replied to with a completely lame excuse, (something about turtles, yawn!) which, having once owned a house there myself and having visited the island 36 times, and still owning a 3-month timeshare there at the Crane, was regarded by myself as simply puerile and a sad attempt, that may have fooled and fobbed-off somebody on their first visit to the island, but simply served to further irritate me as I had a daily visual and nasal reminder of the tens of thousands of pounds that my holiday had cost me, that I felt was very much taken for granted. To this end, and with less than a week of my 8-week holiday left, they started to clear the awful stinking ****. Although not my idea of a typical tropical paradise holiday pastime, I hope my email ‘intervention’ enabled some other peoples’ holidays to be more pleasant!! (Incidentally, - I also personally TWICE cleared channels through the **** to allow guests access to the sea, using only my FEET and HANDS to do so, as I was refused the use of a gardening rake by their gardeners to do so!) Bad show Bougainvillea!

The hotel is located on st Lawrence gap which has a few clubs and restaurants. It can get quite noisy at night. If you opt for the sea view apartment you are less likely to hear the club on the opposite side of the road. The room itself is great, there is a kitchen where you can cook your breakfast and make tea, a working tap, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave. The balcony and the view is lovely. Woke up each morning looking out onto the blue water and blue skies! I went with my friend and so we had a double bed each which is very comfortable. The shower is a bit slow with water but if you run it for 3-4 minutes the water will get warm. We didn’t opt for the breakfast so cannot comment on what the food is like. Overall positive, my only complaint is beware when ordering taxi they quote in US dollars and not Barbadian dollars. The female receptionist misled me despite me asking her twice is the price quoted Barbadian dollar and she said yes. Then when we finished the taxi ride we were told it was in US dollar and not Barbadian dollars. I think that is a fundamental error by the receptionist and cost me unnecessarily. For that the hotel did not deserve a 5 star. In terms of location it is good but expect noise as you are directly opposite a nightclub called halo that is very noisy at the weekends especially the dj and his microphone shouting into it. The island is very small so everything is not far. It is worth hiring a car to get around the island otherwise the taxi fare will be expensive. A taxi fare from at Lawrence gap to the north of the island would cost you 120 Barbadian dollars one way. The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool and private chill out area and a restaurant to order drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I think i would stay here again.

We stayed at Time Out Hotel from 20/11 for 2 weeks. Reviews were quite mixed, however we had no reason to worry at all. We booked a pool view room as reviews had stated this was a bit quieter than rooms by the bar. We arrived at the hotel about 2pm and our room wasn't ready, so we put our case in the luggage room got changed and went to the pool. Our room 317 was ready by 4pm and had a lovely pool view. Our room was immaculately clean , bright, 2 comfortable queen beds, plenty of storage, great bathroom with walk in shower, fridge, tea and coffee and great AC. Great balcony which was always in the shade. You could hear some noise from the bar, however the music wasn't on late and it didn't disturb us at all. We found the staff at the hotel to be very helpful and friendly. Pool area was great and no problem getting a bed. Pool towels were an added bonus. As you come out of the hotel Dover beach is just over the road which was lovely. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. We loved everywhere that we ate, food was gorgeous and of course fresh fish amazing. We would definitely stay here again.
