Surfers Bay Resort

I have left Surfers Bay Resort just two days ago and since the very first day I was feeling like at home, Matt and Will are amazing people and the staff is so friendly, I was very lucky to find them in this peaceful and wonderful place! Anything you need just ask them! To let you understand: I was invited by Will for a private Surf session as well as a dinner in the North West Coast of Barbados! Matt gave me a ride to the supermarket since I did not have a car! I was pleased to enjoy also live music and a drink with Matt 30 minutes driving from the resort! I never met any manager like them in all my travelling experience! The Surfers Bay resort is getting also active on the weekends with live music right in front of a bonfire and the stunning South Coast of Barbados! Lovely accomodation just renovated with a private patio and hammocks. The swimming pool is very well mantained.. Really I don't have anything to say more, only that I will miss a lot my new friends and this stunning place!!!

A little piece of heaven! If you’re looking to relax and unwind this is the place. A little off the beaten track it’s a great place to walk and enjoy the wild, rugged features of the coastline. Watch the kite surfers do their tricks and the let the world drift by. The rooms have been upgraded and are now well equipped with comfortable beds and amazing showers. Rustic style decor is the theme for the entire resort. Sunday nights are the best, come down and eat, drink and enjoy the vibe from one of the top reggae bands on the island. Well done Matt &Will you have done a stellar job - see you again soon

Just got back from Surfer’s Bay with my family (10, 12, 23) and already missing it. If you’re looking for a more secluded, laid-back spot in Barbados, this place is it. Super easy to get around, and the peaceful vibe was exactly what we were hoping for. Will and his dad Matt were great hosts. They were kind, engaging, helpful, and always available if you needed anything. Solid people. Reggae Night on Sunday was hands down the best live reggae I can remember hearing. The restaurant was solid comparatively (great cocktails too), but just a heads-up: it doesn’t open until 4pm, so grab some groceries at Massy’s or another shop to have breakfast/lunch covered. Totally manageable if you plan ahead! Since I read the other more negative reviews before writing this, here's my experience: 1. The A/C worked just fine. Just make sure to keep the doors closed and it cools down. 2. We only saw ants when we left food on the counter (our bad). As long as you’re tidy, no issues. 3. We had plenty of hot water for 5 people back-to-back after a day in the ocean. No problem. All in all, we had an awesome time. Already dreaming about going back!

I had high hopes for my stay at Surfers Bay Resort, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. First, the room was infested with ants—I couldn't leave anything out without it being covered in them. Completely unacceptable for a resort that claims to offer quality accommodations. On top of that, the mini-split air conditioner was rusted and barely worked, literally dripping rusty water onto the counter below it. The refrigerator plug was "spliced" and really dangerous. It was clear that maintenance is not a priority here. We also came back to our room and a stray cat was on our bed. Friendly but If your party has anyone allergic to cats, this would be unwelcome. What really pushed me to write this review, though, was the blatant disregard for the resort’s own policies. They explicitly state that children under 10 are not allowed, yet there were multiple young kids running around, making noise, and disrupting the atmosphere. One of the main reasons I booked this place was for a peaceful stay, and that expectation was completely ruined. I cannot recommend Surfers Bay Resort to anyone looking for a clean, well-maintained, and policy-abiding place to stay. Until they address these major issues, I would strongly advise others to book elsewhere. To be as fair as possible, the onsite management tried to assist us and was kind enough to upgrade us to a suite. We were also compensated for a few nights after contacting the owner. But I would have been happier paying full price for a quiet environment. The live music was excellent. But, if you want a quiet night there really isn't any way to get away from the performances.

Got home this morning and am so sad its over. I ended up travelling alone which wasn’t the original plan so I was keen to have a home base & I definitely chose the best one. Surfers bay is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I don’t do big fancy high rise hotel complex’s I much prefer the rustic authentic style surfers bay has and it did not disappoint. The room was perfect and had everything I needed. The pool area was gorgeous as were the surroundings. Location was amazing, quiet yes but that’s what I came for. There is a beautiful walk along the cost to silver sands beach and silver rock beach which i did every day twice a day. The restraunt is lovely and all the food I tried was fabulous especially the tuna. The atmosphere in the evenings when the sun is setting with a bonfire and the ocean as your backdrop was just so special. Staff were wonderful, Matt and Will are lovely and so helpful. They really have created a beautiful space and I can’t thank you guys enough for having me. I will be back & will recommend to anyone else visiting Barbados. Thank you so much! Katie x

Wonderful, intimate facility with magnificent villas. We had a Junior Suite for part of our week, which is very spacious and a great porch. Then had a Master Suite rest of the time. The Master Suite is extraordinary, especially the ultra-spacious veranda. If you have the budget, book it. The hotel is a short walk to several beaches. The closest, Rescue Beach is located right off the property to the west. Or take the 10 - 15 minute walk east to Silver Rock & Silver Sands beaches. Silver Rock is more laid back and a sparse crowd. Silver Sands has more amenities like beach chairs but more crowded. The hotel restaurant was quite good, but only open late afternoon to evening. There is a restaurant called Driftwood in the South Point Hotel just a 5 minute walk up from Rescue Beach, they serve a great breakfast & lunch (definitely try their fishcakes). We didn't find out until last few days, would have saved us a few taxi rides into town. One of the best highlights are the live music nights on property. Great mixture of locals and tourists from the area. No need to leave the hotel grounds on those nights. Lastly, Will, Matt and the staff are amazing. They are very accommodating with requests and accessible when needed. We highly recommend the hotel. It's not for everybody (if you're the corporate big resort type), but it is for seasoned travelers.
