Dover Beach Hotel

Our entire stay was simply incredible. We were in the garden view studio for one night which was fantastic, however we had upgraded to ocean view for 6 nights so changed rooms, ocean view was simply incredible, the staff were great, the food on site brilliant, both pools in great condition. I cannot recommend this hotel enough we will be returning at end of year.

First time to Barbados so first impressions are what sets your stay. The taxi service that we had from the airport was pricy since they wanted $20.00 US that’s $40.00 Barbados a little steep. This service works for the resort. The restaurant has a limited menu but it is easier to pay by credit card since they love to take the US money and give their money in exchange. The staff was very attentive and polite. Security is good. House keeping is very respectful and they do a good job. This is an older beach hotel but needs some upgrades. They do a good job keeping it clean.

Great hotel, friendly staff too. Accommodation very spacious. Little kitchen area could have been better stocked with Pans, but wouldn’t put us off coming again.

My stay at The Dover Beach Hotel was a blend of authentic Caribbean charm and essential comfort, exactly what I look for in a holiday without breaking the bank. The hotel gives off a quaint vibe with daily housekeeping, replenished towels and toiletries, effective air conditioning, and comfortable beds. The storage space was ample, which for me, is a fundamental need. While the decor is a bit dated, the true-to-culture experience compensates well, especially given the reasonable pricing that allowed us to enjoy more of Barbados. Some staff maintained a professional distance; while they weren’t particularly engaging or overtly friendly, their manner was respectful, mirroring the straightforward and genuine demeanor of the Bajan people—a cultural trait I greatly appreciate. Location-wise, The Dover Beach Hotel is perfectly situated by St. Lawrence Gap, offering easy access to a variety of bars and restaurants. This was incredibly convenient for dining options outside the hotel. One minor hiccup was an unfortunate incident involving a disruptive couple from the UK. Their late-night altercation was disturbing. A polite reminder in the hotel about respecting the peace might be beneficial for maintaining tranquility. In summary, The Dover Beach Hotel will remain my top choice for a true Bajan holiday experience. It's a place where simplicity meets satisfaction, right in the heart of Barbados. Looking forward to my next stay, earplugs in tow!

Good value for money. Good location.

All staff were very friendly and took care of any requests / issues immediately. The hotel and room are was very clean. Room was quiet but somewhat dated. I’d say this is typical for a 3* property. Within walking distance of the restaurants in St Lawrence Gap, however the better choices are about 1.5km away. Right on the beach with beach chairs on hand. Would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable stay.

Well just leaving had a great stay room was spotless couldn’t be any better staff were amazing always there to help and greet you only complaint is the bar could be open a bit later but apart from that I’d highly recommend this hotel not expensive at all will be booking up for next year as soon as I get back home thank you Dover beach !!!

Room was dirty, bed had stains on mattress, lampshades were rusty. Safe had no lock on it, toilets stank of sewage. Pool needs a clean. Complained to the manager who was extremely rude. Room 210. See the photos, light fittings were a health and safty issue especially in the humidity.

Great stay at Dover Beach Hotel for 7 nights, very charming place
