Beach View - Paynes Bay

This is the first time I've been to Barbados and could not have selected a better place to stay. The Beach View is directly across the street from the beach and within a short walking distance from great hotels and convenient stores. We took a city bus for $2 Babados (US$1.00) to Hole Town and enjoyed even better restaurants. The Beachview is clean, […] well appointed, and the staff was not only helpful, but friendly and even allowed us to join them at the owner's home for a Thursday night ritual of "meeting other guests." A must do. Mehr

The hotel is just across a road from the beach and fish market. Walking distance to several very good restaurants. Our apartment, no 303, was in Paw Paw (block no 1 - nearest the road) The apartment is very spacious,furnished to a very high standard and is well equipped. There is a daily maid service and sheets/towels are changed every 4th day.We had […] a great view of the beach. My only negative comment is the apartment, although air conditoned, was very warm. this is due to the balcony area being enclosed and not enough air flow. The other apartment blocks have open balconies but they probably dont have such a great beach view.Overall we were delighted with the apartment and facilities and were prepared to put up with the heat for the views.

Excellent place to stay - friendly,efficient staff, clean and comfortable. Best blocks to stay in are central 2 blocks further away from the road which can be slightly noisy.Ask for top floor if you can to get a sea view but groundfloor better for walking straight out to the pool and especially if you have children. They have a supply of snorkels and […] buckets and spades and pool toys so don't bother packing those! Overall excellent position and highly recommended. Mehr

VERY nice hotel-condo. The apartments are large, comfortable, well furnished and clean. EXCELLENT service - the owner and employees are warm, kind and not intrusive. The pool is very nice and quiet. The hotel is across the road from the sea. If you want to have a sea view, you need to be on the 3rd floor. We had a ground floor apartment that had its […] charm (close to the pool). If we had stayed longer, we may have preferred a 3rd floor appt. The beach is across the street from the hotel but for a nice place to sit, you need to walk approx. 5 minutes. The hotel is close to Holetown, a nice place with excellent restaurants. To go from place to place we mostly took the city bus (BBD2 or USD 1). While we normally like to rent cars, the bus service to the various destinations was very convenient. We did however rent a Moke for one day to visit the Island. It's great when it doesn't rain. Great vacation. We would definitely recommend. Mehr

The Beach View apartments are well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. The rooms are large and airy with great views over the pool, gardens and Caribbean Sea. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms but I understand that plans are in place to install them in the lounge/dining room - which is a necessity! The staff are extremely helpful […] – from booking airport transfers and food orders prior to arrival to trips and taxis. The manager’s weekly cocktail party had a lovely atmosphere where guests had a chance to meet. There are many nice touches from the management team such as free iced water by the pool and an honesty bar for cold drinks. Pool toys are available to borrow as is beach equipment such as snorkels, flippers and surf boards. Snorkelling on the reef behind the fish market is great! Although we were dubious about holidaying in the rainy season, the short heavy showers were a welcome relief to the hot humid conditions – and its fun swimming in the rain! However, take care to avoid sunburn, as the sun is very powerful, even through the clouds. Walking far along the beach is difficult, particularly at high tide, as properties are often built up to the water’s edge. Unfortunately, access to food supplies was difficult. The local petrol station had a very small range of essentials but made super pizzas – half the price of delivery from the large pizza chains. Where was all the local fruit? - good quality produce was very scarce! The local fish market at the bottom of the road was really handy – swordfish steaks were wonderful, as was the cooking advice from the lady fishmonger. Flying fish were great - when available. Food was very expensive and restaurant charges were more than double the UK. The apartment’s kitchen facilities were therefore very useful. A car is a must to access the supermarkets along the ABC Highway. Travel on the manic local buses (reggae music blaring!) is an experience not to be missed - 2$BD to travel anywhere is great value!

Lovely hotel. Unfortunately, our room was very close to a busy street with lots of traffic noise. Also, the closest beach (across the street) was very narrow so lots of traffic noise and fumes. But a very reasonable price for a west coast hotel.

I just returned from Barbados and really enjoyed staying at Beach View. The staff is top notch and attended to any need I had. The grounds are immaculate and the hotel is quiet and relaxing. My room was huge! Great kitchen and living room to relax in during the evening.

Beach View has superb sets of rooms! It's pool is gorgeous and so pleasant--both for swimming and for sitting around. And it's convenient to marverlous beaches. I loved our week-long stay there. Bravo!

My experience at The Beach View was very good. The location was good, although not on the beach, it was very convenient to cross the street to get to the beach. The cost/benefit of being across the street from the beach vs. on the beach vs. was well worth it. The landscaping and pool were so nice, that you felt like you were in a tropical oasis. Having […] a kitchen to cook was great plus. The staff was very helpful with booking tours/cabs. The rooms were brand new and clean. The only negative I would say is that the living room and kitchen areas did not have air conditioning. Mehr
