The room was clean. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. I was travelling with my baby so the kitchenette was very useful and I forgot to request a crib before hand but the staff sourced 1 for me at the last minute. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Barbados

The beach is for the view not the amenities. There is a regular beach not too far away. The view is beautiful sitting on your balcony drinking a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The hotel staff is top notch. We will definitely be returning.

Photos made it look like there was a beach but there was no beach, just an unswimmable waterfront. All food there and in surrounding restaurants very expensive, I.e. $40 nachos. This is apparently party central for Barbados, not YellowBird but the neighborhood which had a street party maybe

Room needed mopping and table near balcony was dusty and so was beneath the pull out bed/ couch.
This was attended by the staff, immediately. We got 100BD$, voucher. Thank you
Marvelous, very helpful, courteous staff. My daughter slept on the pull out bed, which was and is lumpy rm 405. This bit of information was given to us in the plane on our return flight. I did request a two bed room prior to our arrival but was given a king size bed and a pull out bed. Hence, an okay rating, mainly for the bed which was used for 3 nites.
Wonderful staff and sea view and hotel location. Ideal location for me, a pub hopping kinda guy. Thanks

We loved being on the ground floor and walking out to the pool for a morning swim. Large room with kitchenette. Really fun location. I was impressed to receive a message even before I got home that I had left my phone charger behind!
Not for beach swimmers or those with problems climbing stairs to a 2nd or 3rd floor room though!

I regret to share that my recent stay at this hotel did not meet expectations. Upon arrival, I found that the room had not been cleaned to an acceptable standard. The curtains were noticeably dirty, the blanket appeared improperly washed, and the floors had not been mopped. Additionally, the television and its remote were in poor working condition. Overall, the room felt outdated and would benefit greatly from a comprehensive upgrade.

The room was large and clean and all the staff was very helpful. Restaurant options were well priced and offered good value. We thought that the hotel was on the beach but it is actually across the road from a small beach and we were advised that it was not a good beach for swimming. Only negative is that check-in is not 24 hours and it felt a little shady when we arrived around 11pm. The security officer however did an excellent job welcoming us and getting us acquainted with our room. Great value for the cost,,, just really should not be considered beachfront.

The room we stayed in was more like a bungalow! It was nice, 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as pull out sofa. It had a kitchenette with full refrigerator, a microwave and toaster oven. The sofa in my opinion, looked old and need replacement. There were a few other cosmetic changes needed to the property. But, overall a great place to stay with great restaurants in walking distance! The beach is also within walking distance, 2 to 3 minutes away!! The staff were all very welcoming, super nice and helpful!!

Stayed here for 10 days and it was phenomenal. Easily accessible location the main road is right at the corner to catch a $3 van or bus. There's a parking lot in the back for taxi pickup and drop off. The staff were so sweet and welcoming. The evening bartender was great. Made friends with all of the staff really. The dining area is right in the front and always a bit quiet including the bar with a beautiful view. Everything super clean. Rooms have full kitchen! The only complaint I had was the security aspect of it. When you're in the pool people walk by on the main street and can literally walk right in or walk by and stare at you over the wall which happened a few times with questionable characters. When you have a patio/garden room on the 1st floor essentially anyone can walk onto the premises and to the room patio doors there's no security at the front or a gate its just completely open to anyone had to make sure our patio doors were locked before bed for this reason. Otherwise, really prime location for all things beach, food, nightlife between bridgetown and oistins.

The hotel staff was excellent. Everyone was nice and friendly. They always made sure I was okay. I had a small issue with the water temp a couple days and they kindly addressed it and even compensated me because of it. The hotel is a little dated but very clean! I appreciated the care and concern of the staff ensuring I had a great stay. I would definitely come back. There’s a lot of places to walk to grab food and drinks. There’s even a small convenience store where you can buy liquor, snacks, water and other little items you may need. At night, you can walk to get Gap burgers if you need a bite after partying late. Although the hotel is by the water, this isn’t the side you’d want to swim in. The beach is about 15-20mins away. Always ask the hotel what a taxi should cost. I mistakenly got a taxi and I later found out he (Harry) overcharged me for a 15min ride.

The hotel staff is exceptional, attentive and friendly. The hotel is well maintained and relaxing. They are many options for dining in the area including the hotel's restaurant. There is also a well known active night life nearby. From the hotel there is an excellent view of the sea with nice beaches a short distance away. In June during our visit there was an abundance of the sargassum sea weed, which at times, produced a strong odor. Thankfully, we were told it only occur a few months in the summer.

Some folks complain about the lack of an elevator, if I’m honest most of us could do with the extra steps given the amount of food and drink that one can consume on the island. I appreciate the workout! 😊

Mixed…

This will be a mixed review. The best thing was the closeness to the public transportation. Literally outside the door. Great location too being near all the night life at St Lawrence Gap, but this location helped with not really hearing all the night loudness. Check in was a bit of a disappointment. For one thing, there was construction going on that we weren’t aware of until we were there. Our room wasn’t ready at 3 but they did give us a credit at their restaurant to make up for it. Didn’t think the check in gal was very friendly, she was very matter of fact which rubbed the wrong way. Although everyone else we came across as far as staff was exceptional and so nice. The pool did need to be closed due to a glass breaking but they remedied it by letting us use the South Gap Hotels pool which is actually so much nicer than Yellow Birds pool.
We did switch rooms during our stay as we wanted a higher floor for a better view. Our first room that wasn’t ready at 3 was comfortable but the bathroom mirror needed to be cleaned better. Second room was better cleaned. It’s definitely a dated property. If we were to visit again I would probably try the south gap hotel which is their sister property and right on the water. The only thing that makes Yellow Bird a better stay is the location to public transportation…
They were also really sweet acknowledging my birthday…

This is a great little hotel in the St. Lawrence Gap. The rooms are ok, they may stand a little renovation but all services are there. One of the two nightstands did not have a night lamp and that was a bit annoying. The pool area is very small, but the hotel is within 10 minutes walk of a few beautiful beaches and for us that was the important feature. Plenty of dining options around, if one was to choose not to eat at the hotel. We really like this corner of Barbados

We had the apartment with the top deck; super practical accomodations that fit 5 of us comfortably, with space to spread out up top and enjoy the tradewinds and views. The apartment was super clean, and tho the couch could use updating, very comfortable with everything we needed to reheat leftovers and prepare breakfast and lunch. The view was lovely, and we spotted sea turtles daily, and quite a few rainbows. Pool and restaurant were both convenient and comfortable. Staff across the board were great, helpful and accomodating. Only didn't give it a five because the unit was directly across from the Dive, which was loud until 4 am most nights. The live band on Thursday night wasn't terrible. At the same time, the convenience to nightlife was great for our adult kids.

While not immediately on the beach, we were able to quickly walk to Worthing Beach which was amazing. The pool at Yellow Bird was great. And they had nice big umbrellas for the lounge chairs. Their location is great if you want to explore the Gap. There is a ZR bus stop right around the corner from them you you could safely use the ZRs to get around. Walking distance to bank, gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies. They had a great little restaurant on site. Would stay here again.

I went to Barbados to celebrate my Mother's birthday the week of January 6th. Words cannot express how amazing this hotel is. It truly felt like a home away from home. On our first night we got complimentary rum punch, and 10 percent off of dinner. The staff was on point with cleaning our room and supplying us with towels and other necessities. We loved the ease of access to the restaurants and bars along the strip. We also enjoyed the street food and trying out the gap burger! Additionally, the hotel staff surprised my mother with a bottle of wine and balloons for her birthday. I had such an enjoyable time and will make sure to come back again!
