My husband and I just returned from a 6-night trip in Barbados. We spent the first 3 nights at Butterfly Beach Hotel (be sure to read my review), with the last 3 nights at Barbados Beach Club (BBC). This hotel was full of pleasant surprises.
The main hotel was right on the sea, while the "family resort" section of the hotel was a few minutes walk (not directly on the sea). All rooms in the main hotel have a "pool view" or "ocean view". Our room was on the 6th floor of the main hotel, extremely clean, comfortable, modern, with a balcony and an amazing "ocean view". Our room included a TV (including HBO), hair dryer, and cooking facilities.
There was entertainment each evening, either a DJ or live band - which set up in a gazebo area by the pool and outdoor bar. But if you want to experience the nightlife in Barbados, you can take a bus/shuttle or taxi to St. Lawrence Gap, about a 15-minute drive. Also, the hotel is located close to Oistins (5 minute drive), where EVERYONE goes on a Friday night (Saturday night is also popular.) There is music and a number of food vendors from whom you can buy fresh and scrumptous seafood for dinner.
We stayed at BBC on the all-inclusive plan, which includes three meals, tea time/snacks, all drinks (including alcoholic), and a number of water sports. The all-inclusive plan worked out to be a great deal given that good meals in Barbados can be pricey. For breakfast and lunch, the hotel offers a buffet. For dinner, you can go to the buffet, or you can choose between an italian or seafood restaurant located onsite (but you must make reservations with the concierage.) For the these two restaurants, they suggest that no jeans are allowed, but they didn't give us any hassle when my husband went in jeans. Bajans are usually pretty friendly people. We found the food to be excellent each and every time.
We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did ours!
