Bougainvillea Barbados

Tanya M

We thoroughly recommend the stunningly beautiful Bougainvillea hotel in Christchurch. It is aptly named with the vibrant red, pink and purple flowers cascading down through the hotel from reception flanking the mini waterfalls and pools to the beachfront. It’s an independent hotel owned by a Bajan family and makes a refreshing change from the sterile, one-size-fits-all, all-inclusive international chains where you could be spending your time in any destination in the world. The Bougainvillea oozes Bajaness - from the calm ‘no problem’ attitude and warmth of the staff to the delicious food at the Calabash restaurant and the bars. The beach is gorgeous and the watersports team are fab. There’s even a games room and a gym. It’s definitely a family friendly hotel with pools ideal for children from babies to teenagers. There’s a swim up bar for adults too. And it’s brilliantly located not far from St Lawrence Gap and the fishing village of Oistins, famous for their fabulous Fish Fries. Ask for a room with step-free access if you have a mobility impairment. If you are travelling to Barbados, then please do consider supporting Bajan-owned hotels and avoid all-inclusive deals so you can support local businesses by spending your money in local bars, restaurants and shops. Not only will you help the local communities but you will get to experience the real Barbados - and it’s magnificent.

Came here for a couple of days to celebrate my birthday in October and it was a lovely experience! The location was calm, the beach was nice and clean, their drinks were very well made and the food (their breakfast) was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. They kindly upgraded my room also; the room was very spacious and clean, the only downside was the main door had issues closing, but they were very attentive and solved the issue very quickly.

We just came back from a week at Bougainvillea, and it was beautiful. We were a group of 7 and had two rooms with kids. The place is so clean, staff was awesome. Music every night, and it ended at 10pm - so nothing too wild. Beaches were clean, not endless walking - but we made the most of this. Water was clean no sargassum - kids had a blast and most of all, we felt so safe. Would be back in a heartbeat! Thanks everyone!

Stayed here with my family for 10 days and we all had an amazing time. The location is excellent, right on the beach and not a far walk across the beach to St Lawrence Gap and plenty of other beaches a short taxi journey away (as this beach is often yellow flagged). The staff were all excellent, very welcoming and it made our stay even more enjoyable! We ate in the hotel a few times, every time the food was fabulous and more importantly the swim up bar had a great range of drinks with friendly bartenders. It was my first time in Barbados and I had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend this hotel & would choose to visit again.

This beautiful hotel sits on a stunning beach with white soft sand and turquoise sea. It is picture perfect. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and the room was well maintained, with a well equipped kitchenette. You can walk to St Lawrence gap, and we found a couple of places to eat nearby. Nathan will make you a great cocktail and everyone was super friendly :)
