Hotels near Welchman Hall Gully, Porters

First time visiting Barbados and we stayed at the Radisson for one week. Although the property is old and can use a face lift, our recent stay at the Radisson was nice. The hotel is located on a prime beach location with excellent views of pebble and brown beach. Our room was clean and bed was very comfortable. On one occasion the AC was not working and soon after we reported the problem they were able to fix it. The restaurant staff and services were less than desirable. We would definitely return to the Radisson for our next visit to Barbados.

We booked the Hilton Resort as it was ranked highly, however it was not to our expectations. Firstly I will start off by giving full credit to the hardworking staff who worked very hard with the limited resources they have and tried their very best to make the stay comfortable for customers. The staff at the entrance meeting / greeting, reception area, restaurants, pool area and house keeping service staff deserve full credit. I had to rate the stay as 2 out of 5 simply due to the management decisions. We found the following issues during our stay, as listed below: 1) We understand that nature produces sea ****s, and there is no control of sea ****s gathering on the beach perimeter with the waves. However, there was no process or maintenance in place to run a tractor every morning to gather the sea ****s and litter from the sand on a daily basis. You find other hotels in the Carribbean (my recent trip to St Lucia) where hotels maintain their beach area early hours in the morning ready for customers. This is supposed to be Hilton (a worldwide known brand). The beach standard was the biggest disappointment for us. 2) No variety of food on the menu. Some of the restaurants were closed due to the season. We actually got bored with the menu as it was the same things to eat and in my opinion very expensive. We saw other customers ordering take away from external restaurants, which was very surprising, maybe they felt the same. We also explored the option and found that more variety is available externally and the price of food is significantly less than what your hotel offers. We actually ordered pizza and snacks externally with delivery service and it worked out to be an excellent deal. 3) There was 3 of us (2 adults and 1 infant) and we were only offered 3 very small bottles of water to last us a day. We then requested for 6 large bottles of water and we were charged a rate of around 11 BBD each which equates to around £4.73, so in total we spent £28.38 on water!!! Water is a necessity of life and we were charged a silly amount, not forgetting the bottles we purchased during dinner. Sounds embarrassing but we should have purchased a multi pack of water bottles from Lidl or Tesco in the UK which would have cost us less than £10 and bought that with us in our check-in luggage. 4) There is something wrong with the lifts. There are a total of 4 lifts, and only 2 appear to work. It takes ages to wait for a lift. Again something small as this can become frustrating if you need to use the lift a few times a day. 5) The room Fridge door did not close properly as the gasket seemed to be worn. 6) No kettle in the room. We needed to boil some hot water. This is basic equipment expected in a hotel room. 7) No microwave available to heat food. If the hotel cannot provide a microwave in each room, then maybe the cost effective to install a couple of microwaves in the same room you offer self service ice to customers. Microwave is an important piece of equ

Everything was fantastic… I didn’t want to leave! Communications pre, during and post trip were clear, accurate and energetic. I stayed at 3 hotels during my stay, the other 2 were higher end however the service and vibe at the Rockley was the best of the 3! Bar staff and drinks were excellent (especially at happy hours each day). Breakfast was fresh and staff very attentive. Front desk were a ray of sunshine and the welcome drink was much appreciated while I waited in lounge for room to be ready (I arrived early). My room was clean, stylish and spacious. I had a kitchen and spacious balcony. Bed was extremely comfy and room was quiet. Great location too! Steps to the beach and a 5-10 walk to happening spots and 6min walk to Starbucks (if was your Java jolt from home). Definitely recommend and will stay again.

My stay at Worthing Court was a pleasant one with friendly and welcoming staff, nice maintained grounds and gardens...the whole property seemed to be in good upkeep from the pool to the rooms even when things may seemed a bit quiet Though the property is closed to the main road in Worthing on the south coast, it is still pretty quiet...but if you're a light sleeper or bothered by vehicular traffic..request a room further in or at the back, I'm not particularly bothered by it as I like seeing people or traffic go by plus you get the ocean views from the front My room was nice and spacious with all the amenities of home like the kitchenette with a nice fridge, complimentary waters and coffee/tea station a plus, a patio/balcony to relax as I've observed all rooms comes with...the property is in close proximity to beaches, shops/market, 24 hours petrol station, restaurants/bars, nightlife and public transport. My frustrations...though minimal was the low water pressure in the shower and basic cable channels for some prime time TV watching, although there's Netflix I'll definitely stay here again and would recommend to future travelers.

The hotel is located on st Lawrence gap which has a few clubs and restaurants. It can get quite noisy at night. If you opt for the sea view apartment you are less likely to hear the club on the opposite side of the road. The room itself is great, there is a kitchen where you can cook your breakfast and make tea, a working tap, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave. The balcony and the view is lovely. Woke up each morning looking out onto the blue water and blue skies! I went with my friend and so we had a double bed each which is very comfortable. The shower is a bit slow with water but if you run it for 3-4 minutes the water will get warm. We didn’t opt for the breakfast so cannot comment on what the food is like. Overall positive, my only complaint is beware when ordering taxi they quote in US dollars and not Barbadian dollars. The female receptionist misled me despite me asking her twice is the price quoted Barbadian dollar and she said yes. Then when we finished the taxi ride we were told it was in US dollar and not Barbadian dollars. I think that is a fundamental error by the receptionist and cost me unnecessarily. For that the hotel did not deserve a 5 star. In terms of location it is good but expect noise as you are directly opposite a nightclub called halo that is very noisy at the weekends especially the dj and his microphone shouting into it. The island is very small so everything is not far. It is worth hiring a car to get around the island otherwise the taxi fare will be expensive. A taxi fare from at Lawrence gap to the north of the island would cost you 120 Barbadian dollars one way. The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool and private chill out area and a restaurant to order drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I think i would stay here again.

This hotel was exactly what we needed. From the beginning the service over the telephone was outstanding. Everyone was super helpful and kind over the phone. A special mention to Graham who arranged our taxi with Colin aka Taximan 246. Colin was right on time and took us safely to and from the airport. He was an amazing driver. We even hired him for other occasions. The staff in general was always wearing a smile and let me tell you CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The rooms were spotless and bed was comfortable. We were right on the Gap which made moving around even easier. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that isn't looking for luxury but is just needing a very warm clean reasonably priced accommodation in Barbados and on the St Lawrence Gap. I Will certainly return. Thank you for having us and I look forward to seeing you again. Xoxo Nicole & Trevor

A really nice hotel. The staff are all very polite and courteous and the accommodation is very good. They cannot do enough for you when at the beach, if they see you have no shade they bring out an umbrella. They often bring around cold face clothes to cool you down and sometimes even a tray of Jell-O shots. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. The on site restaurant is very good. They go above and beyond to address any concerns raised. Had an issue with something and they did everything they could to address the situation and contacted us personally to apologize, really appreciate the response from customer services. Thing’s have definitely improved. A sign of a good hotel is when they listen to their guests and try to help. Thank you. The hotel is a little isolated with not many restaurants around and it is better to rent a car for a few days or use public transport but it’s a beautiful location on a wonderful beach. St Lawrence Gap and Oistins are about 15 - 20 minute walk away if you want to visit bars, other restaurants and join in the Friday night Fish Fry at Oistins. Also just a short walk to the main road where you can catch a bus and there are taxis at the hotel of you need one. Overall it’s a great place to stay. Would definitely visit again.
