Everything was great however took one star off because the shower wouldn’t get hot in our room. The breakfast at the restaurant was lovely, we had it delivered to our room. Rooms are clean and modern.

The kitchen would be better if more options were available to eat and if the rooms were sound proof as when others use the pool and making noise there is disturbance.

Room was ok but it did not have a blanket or comforter, just a very thin sheet. The shower area can be improved as water settles after taking a bath on the bathroom floor. The shower pressure was also low at times. However, the staff were great.

The room was not the greatest but it was doable. We asked for our room to be tended to daily, the cleaner only changed our towels when asked. she only made the bed and didnt change our coffee cups and left garbage there for days. The bins were not emptied either.
Mister Hal made our stay, he was friendly, always had great advice and was never too busy to assist. The girl at the front desk was also very helpful.

Very kind staff accommodated my request to keep my bag with them overnight one day before I actually checked in restaurant on site and Wi-Fi tea and microwave in room
You can walk straight down the road to the beach and it is also convenient for the number 11 bus which takes you into Oustins

Staff was very pleasant, especially Hal at the bar, but the property was not what it looks like in the photos. This is more of a motel than a hotel. No cleaning service for rooms, outdoor area is not very well kept, and pool area is very small.

I had a nice 2-night stay here. I so appreciated the hotel staff staying longer at reception so we could check in, as our tour went later than expected. Check-in was smooth and I felt accommodated. The hotel itself is small, but comfortable and nice. The room had everything we needed, bed was comfy. I appreciated the balcony right over the pool area, as well as having on site dining. Breakfast could have been better quality, but the convenience was nice. The hotel is located right on the main street, so it's easy to catch a taxi. It's also a 5-minute walk from beautiful Maxwell Beach. I would stay here again.

The reviews for this hotel were excellent. So I booked it for a two day stay. It’s on the main road, so it’s convenient. I arrived after 6, when reception closes, but there was someone there to give us the keys. The walk in and dining area are pleasant appearing. The room I booked was smaller than it appears in photos. I should have checked the dimensions. I was disappointed but that was my fault. The first problem I noticed was the face basin was small and not draining well so water would splash back when I had to brush my teeth. There was cold- lukewarm water only. The worst bit however was the mildew on the old shower hose. It was thick I could scrape it with my fingernail.The towels seemed to be washed in bleach and they had a very raw smell. There was mildew on the walls also. When the room was checked for readiness for a guest, I can understand how they thought putting a guest in that condition bathroom was appropriate. They broke their no refund policy and allowed me to check out early so that was a positive.

I’ve never been to a hotel that comes with only one thin bed sheet as bed cover. Fortunately, the weather isn’t too cold. It’s still feel uncomfortable for whole night. Besides, the wall mount air fan unit is noisy, it sounds like a train passing by from distance. Not too loud but noise is constant. Very annoying!

This hotel needs some serious attention to its rooms. I checked in a room with a lot of broken stuff, the images online didn’t look the same. The parking a lot is not directly onsite and the area for parking doesn’t feel safe at night.

This should be listed as a motel for the price paid!!

Nice friendly staff, their restaurant was good, but we rather go elsewhere as the menu was small. But the food we did get was good. Only thing that was not good was Saturday night they have a DJ who played music way too loud and until 12 midnight. I get that its a vacation/party vibe but the rooms are not very sound proof.Which brings me to the next, we could hear our neighbor talk and hear his tv. Im sure he could hear us too. Other than that we liked it.

This room was booked for a 2 person 7 day vacation March 14th-21st.. The room offered was as tiny as it gets.
Even though i confirmed for 2 persons ahead of travel... When i mentioned we'd like to changeroom the pregnant staff was highly pregnant with attitude.. Seems like i was a bother. The bathroom is literally above the bedhead. Television didn\"t work.
This hotel room will serve 1 person for 3 days Max.
Will not stay here ever again

Cute little hotel... rooms are lovely, grounds a little dated but kept very clean.
The food was really good in the restaurant and Hal the bartender is great!
It's very reasonable considering the proximity to beach and having a nice little pool around back.
A little noisy from being on main road, but handy as well!
Would recommend for sure..

The hotel is situated on a public road, providing convenient access to public transportation, including buses to and from Bridgetown and Oistins. However, heavy traffic persists throughout the day and late into the night, particularly on weekends.
Access to Maxwell Beach is about 500 mts (546.8 yards). This is one of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in the area, even when there are 3 resorts. There are no kiosks and bars on the beach, so come prepared. I just wish there would be restaurants nearby and that the surrounding neighborhood was not so abandoned.

I’m going to need a bigger box…Arrived for our 4 night stay in an Elite Room only to be directed to a small, dingy basement accommodation. One small window that would not even open and looked out onto a concrete walkway, not the pool area we had reserved. NO hot water, nowhere to sit in the room except on the lumpy bed. TV was impossible to operate. Asked for a blanket, got a story about why we couldn’t get one as well as pool/beach towels which we offered as an amenity. We asked for a different room but were told they were booked up however we saw only 1 single guest on our 2nd day and after chatting with him he was equally disappointed. We never ate in the restaurant. NEVER AGAIN!

We stayed here for 2 weeks in February and it was the perfect base for our holiday - it is a small hotel with just 10 rooms but it suited our needs perfectly for a reasonable price for Barbados. Being on the main road you can hop on a bus to Oistins, Bridgetown and anywhere in between! It’s a short walk to Dover beach and from there the Gap. A quick mention to Hal and Matthew 2 members of staff who really made our stay - they are both super helpful and really friendly and a credit to the hotel.

Everything we needed

We enjoyed our stay at Maxwell del Mar. Staff are friendly and having a small bar/restaurant on-site was helpful for breakfast and drinks. The pool is small but enough to sit around and occasional dips. Best is really the location. It’s not right down on the St Lawrence Gap strip, but that’s only a 15 minute walk away, where there are plenty of bars and Dover Beach where you can easily swim with turtles. There’s also bus stops right outside the hotel from which you can easily get to Bridgetown, Holetown etc, and in the other direction Oistins (which is only a 20-25 min walk, great for the Friday night fish market).

Absolutely enjoyed my stay at Maxwell del Hotel.
It’s in a lovely spot, close to all amenities if you like walking.Beaches nearby Oistens walkable Worthing.
The annoying part of the booking is if your room faces the main road.You are only guaranteed a good nights sleep from midnight to 05:00.
The other annoyance is the housekeeping services were extremely poor. In 16 days my sheets with a complete makeover happend only twice! Hence I found myself begging for clean towels and loo rolls.
Overall do not let this put you off. Lovely staff especially Hal and Mathew.
