Yellow Bird Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This chic hotel is reputed to have some of the friendliest staff on the island! It's also located across the road from St. Lawrence Bay where the waters are exceptionally shallow at low tide — enabling you to safely walk miles into the ocean (you might see some turtles along the way!). There’s a lovely restaurant on-site or you can head round the corner to the centre of St. Lawrence Gap for some lively nightlife. Refurbished studio rooms have large balconies offering stunning views, a kitchenette and complimentary WiFi.

We stopped here for 2 weeks for our honeymoon Wonderful hotel, location and staff. Everything about the hotel is spot on, the staff are always smiling and happy to engage with customers. Bar and restaurant area is lovely fresh and modern and looks out onto the sea and is a lovely place for eating and drinking. The restaurant is really good quality and decent value and well worth trying. The rooms are big and spacious, if I wanted to be critical I could say a little dated but that wasn't an issue for us. The rooms were kept spotless by the housekeeping team who worked tirelessly in the heat. Really good WiFi whilst we stopped Plenty of free parking withing the hotel complex if you decide too hire a care on your holiday Only a couple of minutes walk from the main strip of the gap, and 1 min from getting a bus and 5 mins walk to Worthing beach Would we come back? In a heartbeat and already looking for our 2025 holidays Read less

This is our second visit to this hotel and it didn't disappoint. The rooms are spotless and very well equipped. We enjoyed the pool area. Its very easy to walk to the restaurants and bars and we felt very safe. The front desk staff (Monique and Michelle, in particular) and the housekeeping staff work tirelessly. We felt the bar staff were a little less friendly and we felt an inconvenience asking them for drinks. (They were on their phones or eating a meal at the opposite end of the bar and it often took several minutes to get their attention). We look forward to returning next year. Read less

As you will see from the reviews all is good here. Thanks to all of the staff, we enjoyed our stay. Not a fan of the pubs etc on the strip but plenty of places easily reachable from the hotel. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the room was clean and tidy. Robin and Claude.

Worth 3 & 1/2 stars really, a great location on St Lawrence Gap with nice beach views. Room was large, functional and clean and the service in reception and the restaurant was very good as was the food options. A great swimming pool area provided another feature.
