A lovely hotel with a perfect location by the beach with friendly staff and excellent food and accomodation. Rooms were cleaned daily and the restaurant offered a good selection of meals to choose from each day. Special mention to Shane, Zak and Michelle behind the bar who were so helpful and friendly and don't miss out on Michelle's rum tasting experience which in 3 words was educational, entertaining and fun! Also big thanks to Shaniqua on the front desk who was really helpful throughout our stay. Would definetly come back to this hotel we had a great holiday there. The view from our room on the 3rd floor looking out to the ocean was amazing and you are so close to the sea, beautiful. Read less

Unfortunate experience.

This hotel has a beautiful location on the beach with great views of the ocean. Beyond that, it is not worth visiting. The hotel claims to be a "luxury boutique hotel". I would strongly disagree. The service is awful. Of the 10-12 employees that we interacted with, only 3 of them were polite and helpful. The others acted like they did not want us to be there. It is an all-inclusive experience, yes. However, the menu at the one restaurant on the property is very limited, and as mentioned the employees serving you don't make you feel welcome. The liquor selection is subpar at best. Stoli was the highest level of vodka available, and they ran out our first night. They had no bourbon. Lastly, we had a problem checking in to our room. It was not ready by the posted time of 3:00. After numerous complaints I simply sat in the lobby until our room was ready. I was told that the manager would contact me about this to listen to my point of view. She never contacted me and when I asked about it, I was told that she had a couple of days off. Very convenient. In short, I would never stay there again. It is not worth the high cost to stay there. Read less

Room for improvement on a pretty Hotel

May I first say The SoCo has the most fabulous position overlooking the Sea The staff were pleasant and helpful Rooms dated but clean great big comfortable beds and clean towels and bedding Food and drinks very acceptable The only issues we had were The Rat problem needs addressing no reason why Vermin control cannot be taken more seriously No courtesy rooms on check out at all. This is simply not good enough. Spending all day in 30 degrees heat and no shower facilities takes the edge off the holiday and there is simply no excuse to keep saying the hotel is full. There should be availability for this all the time The shower facilities in the rooms need updating as majority of the time the water is cold and the systems were very outdated Read less

Barbados Hidden Gem !

We were recommended The Soco Hotel by our friends who had stayed there the previous year and it did not disappoint! What a great find! Location: close to shops and bars, not far from the airport and last but definitely not least, ON THE BEACH!!!! with breath-taking seaviews. Room: Very spacious! Very comfortable bed and pillows! The air con was great, which we really needed with the humidity. You could hear the occasional honk of horns from the road but nothing that disturbed us. The bathroom was also fairly big with a decent shower, towels and toiletries. The coffee machine in the room was lush and produced some great tasting fresh coffee! The view from the balcony was something else and after taking hundreds of photo's, I never tire looking back through them! Pool/Beach: Both the sea and the pool were like stepping into a bath! We found there were ample sunbeds and the pool was maintained daily. Only a short distance from the bar to the beach so no problem popping up for a cocktail as and when! We also had waiter service to the beach some of the time as well which was a bonus Food: AMAZING !!!!!!! Huge choice of breakfast from the menu and you could have as much or as little as you liked. Eggs Benedict was my favourite (which I had 3 times during our 7 night stay as they were so good!) Lunch and Dinner was from a 3 course menu with 3 choices for each course. This was changed every 2 days so there was plenty of variation. We skipped lunch a few times as we were too full from breakfast! The wine in the restaurant was really good too. All of the food is cooked to order so is hot and fresh when it gets to the table. Because of this, there was the occasional slightly longer waiting time (maybe 2 or 3 times over the entire 7 night stay) but the wine was flowing and as the food was so good, it was always worth the extra time. Cocktails and spirits all fab! Staff: Nothing was too much trouble. Always helpful and obliging. This hotel is not like other All-Inclusives as it is much smaller but we really liked this due to the personal touches and friendliness of the staff and the other guests. You can choose to mingle or to just relax on your own. We recommend the Island Safari tour. We got to see all of the island and we did some "off-roading" in the jeep with Wayne (who certainly knows his stuff and is totally bonkers, but we loved him!!). Whilst all of the staff are great, with a particular mention to Shayne behind the bar, the icing on the cake for this hotel is of course Michelle !!! She never stops smiling! We particularly loved her Rum Tasting session at 10am !! She knows everything you need to know about everything in Barbados. It's like having a personal holiday planner on tap. She is such a huge credit to this hotel and is the one of the main reasons we cannot wait to return! If I am being really really picky, the only suggestion I would have is to add Prosecco to the All-inclusive drinks. It was only served on the Managers Cocktail evening (once a week and the night we arrived so didn't really know the set up then) and it would of been nice to enjoy another glass at other times during the stay.

Boutique hotel with breath taking views

Great experience, attentive staff pleases & gets to know you. Michelle is incredible, she sets the bar high. She will book dinner off site for you, book trips and will share knowledge freely. She is always smiling and happy and makes you feel like part of the Soco family: Dedicated staff. Antony and Shane-are so professional, attentive and fun. Wait staff was great at each meal. Priceless views, great value at a beautiful all inclusive. This staff goes above and beyond every day: Aside from typical American entitled customers that feel the need to “claim” their pool lounge chairs daily it’s a great place! Read less
