Port St. Charles

Port St Charles has been an amazing getaway for me over the years. I have made many happy memories there and always look forward to returning. The resort is impeccably maintained and has breathtaking views. There is a complimentary water taxi to ferry you around and you can access the beautiful Heymans Beach directly from the resort. Staying at Port St Charles means you’re treated to comfy sun loungers and a beach umbrella courtesy of the wonderful beach team. The reception and security guys are friendly & professional and ensure everyone feels right at home. There is free resort WiFi which is pretty good, but most rental apartments have their own high speed WiFi. Up until my most recent stay, I would have easily given Port St Charles five stars and recommended it without hesitation. Yes, it’s pricey, but worth it. Unfortunately that's no longer the case. They have opened a fast food cafe beside the swimming pool in the centre of the resort. It is a small change but has a big impact. The persistent smell of stale fries now hangs over the pool and deck all day and permeates the neighbouring apartments. Where we previously enjoyed the Caribbean breeze, we ended up keeping our apartment closed up and were only able to enjoy the beautiful terrace early in the morning until the fryers started up. If you’re happy to stay by a burger bar, there is plenty of more budget-friendly accommodation available nearby. Barbados boasts many other upscale resorts and I intend to explore one of them next time. I will miss the glorious view, the sound of the ocean and the friendly staff but not the smell.

Pier one. Very nice lunch. Decent brasserie style food. Service was efficient and friendly. Very good fries, nice burger and a lovely beef sandwich. The music was quite loud so it was difficult to have a conversation. You can use the pool if you wish - Sun loungers are fairly limited in number.

Stayed here for 10 nights from 30 th October Really lovely 1 bed apartment booked through BA Holidays at a great price Highly recommended They have a complimentary water taxi service and on site concierge to book reservations at local restaurants

This is my favourite place to stay in Barbados after visiting the island 7 times, having tried a few hotels and apartments on the west coast. We had a lovely large apartment with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, a large lounge and kitchen. Outside there was a large terrace and plunge pool. All of the staff at reception we met were extremely friendly and helpful. Hainsley was on the beach most days and set up loungers and an umbrella for us and was very nice to chat to. After several visits to different parts of the island we felt that this was the nicest beach we had been on. We also liked the large roped off swimming area which meant we didn’t have to worry about passing jet skis. We managed to see turtles whilst snorkelling on most days as well as lots of fish on the reef. Speightstown is very close to Port St Charles and there are quite a few good options for drinks and dinner. We particularly enjoyed the live music at Little Bristol and dinner on the beach at Local and Co. Looking forward to returning in the future.

This is paradise on earth. We stayed at Port St Charles for 10 nights from late July through to early August - it was just incredible. The townhouse was spacious and immaculate and the views to the marina never failed to amaze. Spotting fish and turtles as great fun too. The resort is quiet and in a great location for easily getting out and about to explore any part of the island. The beach opposite Pier One was fabulous for paddle boarding and swimming, and a short swim across to and from the pool bar (or you can walk!). The south beach was absolutely incredible for snorkelling. We saw multitudes of colourful and beautiful tropical fish everywhere. The water is usually so calm and absolutely crystal clear. We used the water taxi a lot for the resort, it was always swift to arrive and great fun. Pier One is a fabulous restaurant - the staff, ambience, views, food and drink were always perfect. We would highly recommend! All in all, our holiday to Barbados was first class, but this was definitely influenced by Port St Charles too and our amazing experiences there.

Simply the best! We have stayed all over Barbados. Nothing beats the west coast with its crystal clear flat water and beautiful beaches. Port St Charles beats everywhere else for quality of accommodation, beach, grounds, boat access and service. It is an impeccable place to stay for families and friends. Pier One restaurant with is located on site but is seperate has also upped its game and is a fantastic place for residents and guests to eat and drink. Truly paradise. Cannot recommend PSC more highly!
