Palm Garden Hotel Barbados

Buenaaaa

Lovely hotel, not far from the Gap. Just across the road from nice beach. We stayed one night before a cruise and one night when we got back. There’s a nice pool and a great bar which also serves very nice food. We asked them to put football on during both stays and they did this willingly. We had a room in the main block, on the ground floor on our first night. It was a great size, with fridge, kitchenette etc. The only problem was that we didn’t have any hot water in the morning. I did call reception but they seemed to think it was normal. The price is on the high side so I would expect hot water. On the second night we were in a room in a separate part of the hotel. It had the same facilities but was much smaller. I would definitely recommend for the friendliness of staff, the bar, pool and clean rooms.

We had a good stay here. This is not a resort property, but rather like a mom & pop property. Nevertheless: The PROS: - Staff was very friendly - There is a 24-hr manned desk - We booked with an INCLUDED BREAKFAST. It is cooked fresh, with a menu (see pic) and linen tablecloths - Although simple, the room was very CLEAN. We were impressed. - There is a safe in the room - Our room had a really good A/C…PLUS: refrigerator, micro, toaster, and coffee maker (no coffee included) - There is a store open 24 hrs just a short walk down the street, turn right as exiting the hotel - It was quiet - There is a swimming pool - There is no airport shuttle, but at the airport, the posted rate in Dec 2023 was $31 USD one way. Pretty good! - The hotel is half way between the airport and cruise dock - There is a ****** as you turn into the property. Bottled Water was only $1.25. When stores give you a price, it is in Barbados currency, which is double USD (so the water was $2.50, but came to only $1.25 in USD) The CONS: The hotel is dated, but with all the pros above, considering the price point, it was worth the stay.

This is the first time staying in the south prior to that we always stayed on the west coast, palm garden is in a great location away from the road and so you can’t hear the traffic like you can when on the west, there are also no cockerels waking you up either, and the beds the the comfiest I’ve stayed in so gets a 10 for sleep ! We had lots of interaction with staff and all positive the manager is lovely, Carmelita, cleaning staff and any issues were sorted out. Yes breakfast is slow but it’s lovely my son had waffles / pancakes/ scrambled egg etc and fresh juice. If you don’t want to wait the gap and rockley is a 5 -10 min walk and lots of buses to pick you up, we hired a car so out every day. The pool is great to chill in the morning and I saw it being maintained while I was here. You get what you pay for, I’ve travelled a lot around the world and this place allows you to travel on a budget, I was nervous due to the bad reviews but I need not have worried. There are so many places to eat and drink locally Worthing square is nice around the corner. The gardens are well kept and gardener does a good job. They carry out maintenance in the rooms I saw them painting and rooms are always clean on return after the day. For the money paid I would stay again 👍

Positives were a large room, comfortable bed, cleaners daily. Close to amenities… restaurants, supermarkets and beach. Negatives- dated, unfriendly staff, bar and restaurant only open till 4… later at the weekend.! Just didn’t find the hotel very friendly…. It was used a lot by one nighters, on the way to or from cruise ships. Wouldn’t recommend

I have LOVED my 3 weeks at Palm Garden! It’s a wonderful friendly home from home. The best people, lovely room and bathroom and a great pool in natural surrounding. I could not have been happier for my 3 week vacation. And the bonus is it is such close walking distance to supermarkets and the beaches with great fun bars.

Nothing like the advertised pictures, no staff working after 9pm, just a security guard who has more responsibility than time to attend to issues. Came back to find cleaners using our room for their lunch break. The manager was snotty. We had travelled with friends who stayed in a hotel nearby who for less money got a whole lot more.

I liked the use of the kicten facility and the friendliness of the staff. I also liked the fairly quiet environment and access to shopping facilities in close proximity.

Nice quiet clean property. Staff very professional and friendly. Would recommend anyone to stay here.
