Bougainvillea Beach Resort

Pluses: - Upgraded to a sizeable junior suite, with kitchen facilities - Nice pool and sandy beach with comfortable chairs and umbrellas - Charming hostess, Elsbeth, in the Calabash restaurant - Uncle George's Fish Net Grill nearby worth a visit - Convenient for airport Minuses: - Not much to do and see within 15 minutes by car of the hotel, and traffic heavy most of the time - Didn't feel very welcomed by some of the staff - Expensive! We would choose to stay on the west side of the island for a future visit. Tip - try to visit Hunte's Botanical Garden in the north of the island - spectacular!

We stayed at The Bougainvilla resort for a week between Christmas and New Years. It’s a beautiful resort nice and clean with friendly staff. Jose is a great barman and makes a delicious Pina Colada. Our children 7 and 2 attended the kids club one day they had a good time it’s good for the odd day but they remain in one games room they don’t get to enjoy much of their holiday outside. The rates for the kids club are very reasonable. The beach was great spent more time here than the pool as the kids pool does get as much sun light so gets cold early on in the afternoon if it’s not a very hot day. Two improvements the hotel can make is towels beach towels were always unavailable no matter what time of day I asked they always ran out and it was an hour or so wait. Knowing it’s a busy period they should have more towels to accommodate all guests. Whilst the hotel food is nice it is not Caribbean food which is disappointing they overly accommodate American guests with burgers and pastas and don’t introduce the tourists to local cuisine. This was my biggest disappointment with the hotel. Besides this we had a great trip

My wife, 10 month old baby girl and I spent 2 weeks at Bougainvillea in February 2023 and had an amazing time! We stayed in a 1 bedroom deluxe suite which was very clean and well equipped, which was perfect for us to bring some food for baby for early mornings or late nights when we couldn’t eat out. The staff at Bougainvillea were all very friendly and accommodating. Although there were a number of staff who were great, we’d really like to mention Gregory and Roxanne. They both went above and beyond for our family multiple times and I couldn’t be happier. This was our 4th trip to Barbados but the first time staying at Bougainvillea. Even though the other places we’ve stayed at were good, they weren’t as good and didn’t have the same charm that Bougainvillea had.
