“Enjoyable Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2011

people found this review helpful

After a less than satisfactory stay at a hotel In Jamaica (previous review) I was a bit apprehensive about staying at Time Out at The Gap.

I need not have worried.

The staff were friendly and efficient and the receptionist even booked some of my excursions for me. The hotel was clean and comfortable, having all the basic amenities that I would expect eg iron, fridge, a/c and a safe which you did not have to pay extra for.

The hotel is at the quieter end of St Lawrence Gap but there are still plenty to do and the hotel also had entertainment a couple of nights a week. The clubs are are less than a 10 minute walk away.

The hotel has a swimming pool however the beach is just across the road.

I would definitely receommend this hotel to my friends. It's clean, comfortable, with friendly efficient staff and well worth the price I paid. I would definitely be returning when I next visit Barbados.

Ive been going to Time out at the Gap for five years, I was disappointed on this trip, the Red Rock was a big disappointment, we always had a nice breakfast this time it was nothing like it use to be , I understand someone has else has taken it over for five years, we received one bar or soap, and no wash clothes. I will not be going back again, as far as the people that work there, thier all lovely. as far as the place goes, as they say IM OUT OF THERE.

“daily leaf blower alarm at 730am. no snooze option.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

people found this review helpful

Our experience at Time Out at The Gap had the potential to be so much better, so it was a little disappointing. The room was spacious, the bellhop Hayden is super helpful, the location can't be beat, but the gardener insists on blowing leaves at 730am. EVERY SINGLE DAY. So that put a damper on things, in terms of us being on vacation. There were maybe a handful of leaves scattered about that a rake would have been a much better choice, but we woke up to the leaf blower (with an occasional argument between the staff) every morning in Barbados. And if we managed to sleep past that, the hammering and sawing started: The woodshop (?) was right next to the guest rooms and they start early as well. Oh, and there was a dog in the yard of the home that is in the lot next to the hotel. It is a very loyal guard dog. It barked at EVERYthing.
There is field right across the street where locals play basketball and soccer during the evenings. It does not get too loud, and is quite entertaining, but for privacy make sure the curtains are drawn since the streets are narrow so people can see everything.
Internet was $10 (US) per day. And there is a tiny little cubicle in the lobby with a computer. There is also a pool in the hotel, but it got very little use when we were there since a beautiful beach is across the street!
The hotel also tried to charge us an extra $250 (US) our first day there, because we had 3 people, but all our expenses was already prepaid and pre-approved. During this discrepancy the lady at the front desk was pretty rude and nasty (would not make eye contact and would not let us use the phone to contact our travel agent without handing her a credit card). Hayden let us use his cellphone and saved the day! We ended up not paying the extra fees and the receptionist was courteous enough the rest of our stay there, but it definitely left a bad feeling with us.
So in general, aside from sleep and the quality of sleep, you get what you pay for in terms of accomodations.
It was great, though, to be able to cross the street and be on a beautiful beach.

“Very friendly hotel - excellent value!”

Fine hotel in an excellent location. All staff friendly and well look after during stay. Great access to beach (across street) and surrounding hot spots of Christchurch. For price paid will be very hard to beat on value and also great location if you want to party Bajan style. First time to Barbados and made for an excellent base to explore this lovely island.
