We went on a girl's getaway trip to Barbados, and were looking for an economical, ocean front property near The Gap, we found all this, and friendly service in the Little Bay Hotel. We enjoyed many hours watching the turtles coming to the surface in the bay out front from the deck of one of the 100 series rooms, only wish I'd brought my snorkel gear, but were swimming several times when turtles surfaced very near us. They seemed to be most active during the late morning hours. The staff were all very nice, and the night security guard was there when we came in late to greet us, they gave us a late check out since our flight didn't leave until 5 and housekeeping was more than accommodating when we asked for anything. We did see three little bugs over the course of a week, which is generally to be expected from a Caribbean budget property, but far cleaner and fewer pests than I've seen in similar priced properties on other islands and is definitely worth the central ocean front location. The King bed was great, if you like a firm mattress. Public access to the Dover Beach is a few minute walk just down the road where you can rent beach chairs and there are washrooms and showers for a day at the beach, but swimming in the front of the hotel is perfect for a quick dip. The grocery store is very close by, we were settled on the deck with Rum Punch within two hours of landing, with a weeks worth of supplies on hand. The noise from The Watering Hole Rum Shop across the street was loud from Thursday-Sunday mostly because of Karaoke, but we were out late most nights and when we weren't, we had ear plugs on hand and were able to sleep soundly. Without earplugs and if you were planning to go to bed early, the noise would likely keep you up. A car isn't necessary as everything is within walking distance, including a wide choice of bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk. We were pleased that we always felt very safe.

“Amazing view, run down hotel”

This hotel was amazing about 30 years ago, so I would imagine. We were renting a large 1 bedroom, with a lovely and large balcony facing the ocean. We didn't mind that the hotel was run down, but what we did mind was the cockroaches that I saw climbing on my toothbrush:( There is a restaurant downstairs so maybe that's way they get in...The noise at night was really bad too. I knew that it will be noisy before we came; because we do know St. Lawrence Gap and we do know that there are a few bars. But we didn’t expect this much noise, Thursday and Saturday were the worse; the windows were shaking.... The room wasn’t dirty, but the roaches need to go! The service was good, nice and friendly staff. They understood when we left the hotel 5 days early and went to a different hotel. The room isn't cheap, we paid $150.00 US a night so you would hope that there would be no roaches. I wouldn't recommend this place.

“Great if you are out late”

I do not want to knock this hotel too badly as the room was amazing. We had a stunning view from a great deck. The living area is nice. King sized bed is "extra firm" which I liked but some may not. The restaurant downstairs is a great Italian place with the same view as your room which is great. Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis.

What we did not like was:

our hot water did not work the whole time we were there. They told us it was solar heated. No one ever came to look at it until we were checking out after our stay.

The noise. This end on the St Lawrence gap used to be quieter. Jumbees and the Reggae lounge compete to be the loudest most nights until 3am. You cannot hear much inside the room, but if you like to sit outside after dinner and listen to the waves splash on the shore, this is not the place for you. The noise from the gap covers up all other sounds.

This is a nce spot, right on a bus route and close to resaurants bars and clubs. If you can live with the noise outside at night, this place is a great value in Barbados.

Also, the website says there is wireless internet in every room. It is realy only in the lobby.
