Well were to start? First timers to Barbados so had to use Tripadvisor as our reccomendation, and you were all so right! This hotel is fantastic and it is exactly as it looks on the website.
Coming from the hospitality industry, I am somewhat of a 'picker' but I can not find anything negative to say about this hotel.
From the cleanliness of the resort to the friendly staff, the fabulous guest rooms, great amenities, excellent resturants and a beach to die for, it was all perfect.
The location is just right, with the constant cooling breeze and the fun waves. We didnt need the A/C at all just kept the patio doors open and slept like babies listening to the ocean waves.
The island is safe, the people are so nice and friendly, we travelled everywhere by bus, it was so easy, the Reggae buses are always around and $1 US to travel anywhere.
Highlight of the trip was a cruise on the Tiami Cattamaran swimming with Sea Turtles, a remarkable experience.
This was our first of many more trips to Barbados and to the Bougainvillea, I would totally reccomend this resort to couples or families, it is set up for both.
Thank you for an amazing experience and to your wonderful staff.

Barbados is a wonderful island and the Bougainvillea Resort is a beautiful place to stay. The resort staff are delightful, from the bellman to the bartender...everyone is friendly. The units are clean, spacious and all have gorgeous views of the beach. The constant breeze, wonderful wave action on Maxwell Beach and great pools, make it an easy place to rest, relax and play. The resort has plenty of amenities, easy access to the fine dining in the St. Lawrence Gap, to Oistins for the Friday night fish fry and the shopping in Bridgetown. It's only a short cab ride to the west coast beaches and Holetown. Barbados is a friendly island with lots of great scenery and activities to entertain all ages and tastes. We would return again and again to the Bougainvillea...already been twice and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

We loved this hotel. We got a spacious suite, with one bedroom, what is nice, when travelling with kids. The fully equipped kitchen was very useful. We only intended to have our breakfasts in the suite, but we had our dinners there as well, because my kids (9 and 6 yo) found the barbadian food spicy. And food is very expensive in Barbados. You can order the groceries through the hotel, if you want.
We had a balcony with partial ocean and pool, where we spent many pleasant hours.
The sea in the area is quite rough sometimes. We drove to Entreprise Beach a couple of times, because the sea is quite flat there.
My kids had a wonderful time at the pool area, which is surrounded by a tropical garden.
Great room, friendly staff, lovely area, what else could we want?

We had a wonderful family holiday at this hotel. The studio apartments are very spacious and have kitchens so you can keep drinks cool in the fridge. They do good, if expensive breakfasts with eggs cooked to order at the beachside restaurant, but they do run out of hot dishes so you need to get their fairly early. We went to nearby Pablo Dontes for breakfast/brunch or lunch which is just around the corner and has a wide choice of dishes at a much more reasonable price.

We ate in the beach bar on a few occasions, as they offer BBQ and other special themed nights but generally we preferred to go out to nearby St Laurances Gap which has a good choice of restaurants.

The staff were very friendly and professional and the hotel is set on a beautiful beach. You do get slightly pestered by beach vendors but if you say you are not interested they will leave you alone fairly quickly. A lovely hotel.
