Enjoyed every bit of my stay at Ecolifestyle lodge. WiIshed we stayed a little longer. Staff was extremely accommodating. It was peaceful and safe. The views from our room (soup bowl) was breath taking. And listening to the ocean waves and breeze in the morning was everything. If you like low key and chill vibes. This is the place to stay.

The bar and restaurant was closed by 4pm every day! We never got the advertised sundowner. There were problems on one day with gas in the kitchen and they seemed to use that as an excuse not to offer a service on the next days. Restaurant staff were surly and very rude at one point. The restaurant was run separately from the hotel, with separate billing and confusion over who was managing it.
We should have been offered compensation and I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Super friendly staff from reception to the restaurant to everyone else working on the Lodge grounds. Really glad we picked the Maycock Suite, which had a more private balcony, hammock and impressive views. Really good food in the restaurant, chef came out to speak to us each time we are them. Same breakfast menu every day to select two items from, then a different fresh juice range every day. Free (donation-based) group yoga and meditation sessions overlooking the ocean were pretty special. We hired the Lodge e-bikes to explore a bit more of the area – Andromeda Botanical Gardens, Bathsheba beach and further along the coast. A brilliant place to leave work (and social media) behind and properly switch off!

ECO Lifestyle and Lodge was a beautiful and relaxing escape, far from the tourist crowds. The breakfast at the restaurant was incredible; the service from the staff was fabulous; the grounds were impeccably kept. We even got to meet the owner because she drove our \"shuttle\" to the other side of the island. It was also well-placed for great surfing (which is not our thing, but if it's yours, it's perfectly located). I enjoyed a quick trail run and the scenery was amazing. You can walk to the botanical garden and to a few other restaurants for the days that the lodge doesn't serve dinner. I would highly recommend and hope to return!

This property is beautiful and serene and wild. It feels like an oasis compared to the busier side of Barbados.
We relaxed immediately and were able to walk along the coast paths and into Bathsheba. One stunning botanical garden is walking distance too. There's a local community centre that opens little street food stands and yep, rum! And in Bathsheba itself there are a tiny number of cafes - check opening hours - sometimes the place is deserted!

The jewel of the lodge is the Chef. OMG. The food was off the scale delicious. Authentic local food taken to another level. The restaurant is perfectly placed with views over the ocean and all the staff were bright and attentive. We are very fussy eaters and keen cooks and this service was faultless. The restaurant isn't open every day so check ahead.

The lodge has stunning views across the sea and plenty of areas to kick back and relax and enjoy the roar of the ocean.

2 niggles for us. Mosquitos - as soon as the wind died down they were out in force and the mozzy nets are insufficient. And the queen bed is tiny and sunk and had roll.

The rest of the property is in keeping with an authentic wooden lodge on a Caribbean island. Just idyllic.

Points were lost for the bed and mosquito control - if these were better managed this would be heaven on earth. As it is - 4 nights became challenging by the last night.

Property is overlooking the ocean. You get to listen to the ocean waves crashing against the shore as you eat, sleep, and relax. There's no tvs here so it's truly a great place to disconnect and get back to you and the people you're with. The crew is amazing. Stacia goes above and beyond to help you out, answer questions, and give recommendations.
The property is older, so be aware, you might hear your neighbor moving above you. But everyone is respectful and usually asleep early. Dinner happens most nights and if not, there's plenty of restaurants nearby. Breakfast is served daily and there's a happy hour almost every day as well. If you're on a budget you can buy food at a store and cook small meals and snacks in the rooms, as you get a hot plate and a toaster oven,and basic cooking supplies.

The place is achingly beautiful and the peace without the noise of the world and city and so many people is truly bliss. You would be remiss to skip this place and go to the other side of the island!! 💜

A beautiful property overlooking the coast. We enjoyed the bi-weekly yoga sessions and a vigorous hike one morning led by SeaCat (from the lodge). We hired a car, and used it to see the rest of the island. But otherwise, there isn’t much to do at the lodge or within walking distance, but relax. Which we did! We found it a bit overpriced for what you got.

The Eco Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. It has a lovely view of the ocean and the outside grounds are a lovely place to relax. The area where the salt pools are located is quite small however it was never overly busy when we used it. Our room was lovely and spacious with a fridge. There was no full length mirror in the bedroom however there is a larger mirror in the bathroom but not full length. The restaurant associated with the lodge has the same eco theme and the food was outstanding! We ate their every morning and twice in the evening and we never ate a bad meal.

The perfect tranquil stay

Had the most amazing, relaxing, peaceful stay at Eco-Lodge. It’s really as beautiful as the pictures look online and the activities we did with the hotel were brilliant too. The hotel gives you the opportunity to experience the East side of the island and is great if you like hiking and surfing. One thing to note is that the hotel restaurant is only open a few times a week for dinner and there’s only one other place you can eat in after 5pm nearby. We’d recommend hiring a car or borrowing the hotels electric bikes. Overall, amazing if you want to see more of the island and do lots of activities in Barbados!

This hotel is super cute and very relaxing! The rooms are clean and simple in their decor, which was perfect for us. Definitely had beach house vibes, and the views were amazing! The food at their restaurant is delicious and the atmosphere and staff are so inviting.

There is no a/c in the rooms but they do provide several fans, which did a pretty good job. Some of the windows do not have screens so we left with MANY mosquito bites. They do provide mosquito nets over the beds, which unfortunately did not help us much.

If you like simple, eco friendly, relaxing vacations then we would definitely recommend staying here for a few nights!

Very peaceful property with a laid back vibe. Excellent imaginative breakfasts. I’d be surprised if there was anything like it on the island. It was a shame that on the two nights we were there Eco was not serving dinner, we heard from other guests that the food is outstanding and that Alisa is a genius in the kitchen. More information could be given to guests about where to drink and eat when the kitchen is not open and how far they are. Cleaning could be a bit better. Dirty finger marks on doors around door handles are off putting. Our room was spacious, we stayed in a superior room with sea views. I would recommend this place to anyone. It really is lovely.

Exceeded expectations!

We fell in with the Bathsheba area 30 yrs ago on our Honeymoon. We looked for a place to stay on the East side and Eco Lifestyle and Lodge looked like it was laid back, quaint and unique. We were not disappointed. We are from Michigan, so having a room with AC was important and it definitely made us comfortable. The pillows we're a bit big for us and we should have asked for smaller ones, but looking out the bedroom window at Palm trees and hearing the night sounds and surf was dreamy. The views are like paradise and the pace is whatever you make of it. Highly recommend renting a car and upgrade your cell service to international so you can use driving apps, you'll need it. The value, experience, staff and location is outstanding. We hope it does not take us 30 years to return, but when we do, we will stay at ECO.

I stayed at ELL for this past weekend with my husband as a staycation. The property is well kept with simple yet well appointed rooms. We stayed in one of the cottage rooms on our second night and this was such a pleasant experience. The cottage is spacious with air conditioning and its own private balcony with a hammock.

The views at the property are beautiful and the hammocks and deck are just the perfect touch for an afternoon relaxation.

My main criticisms for this property were with respect to the restaurant. We were told that breakfast would be available on the Saturday morning, but on arrival at the property at midday were then informed that no meal would be available until dinner time on Saturday. This wasn't a huge deal as we ventured up the road to a nearby rum shop for a late lunch but we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't try the restaurant as expected.

The restaurant menu is quite concise. No meat options available but this is in keeping with the whole theme of the property, so expected. We ordered the beetroot ravioli. We were a bit surprised that this was not a ravioli pasta but a vegan take on 'ravioli' with raw beets sliced and a filling placed in the middle. There were four small pieces and perhaps a bit pricey for what was delivered, in our opinion. Our main suggestion would be a clarification on the menu about what this dish exactly is or perhaps encourage the waiting staff to clarify for patrons to avoid confusion.

Overall a good experience!

Idyllic retreat far from the crowds

Charming and tastefully decorated guesthouse by the ocean. Beautiful location, but far from shops. There are
Two good restaurants and bars in walking distance, but they close early and you will need a car for everything else. Staff is very helpful and accommodating.

Tree House Paradise

We stayed in a suite with a king bed. It was rustic and a nice break from the south coast. Andy one of the local drivers brought us to a convenience store where we got some breakfast foods and snacks to cook. Very relaxing & quiet. Beautiful breeze coming off the east coast. If your looking for something tranquil & peaceful to stay, are okay with the isolation, I would highly recommend it.

Romantic Secluded Cottage

We loved our stay at Sea-U! If you are looking for hi-tech entertainment, casinos, swimming pools full of bathing beauties & room service, this is definitely not your destination. However, if you want peace and quiet in idyllic surroundings with a drop-dead gorgeous view you may well have found your new home. Friendly & helpful staff. Veg out with a good book or your camera in a hammock slung between palm trees. Rooms are really comfy studios with semi-private verandas. Decor is simple/rustic but pleasant - all looking out on the view. Food is simple, homemade and served with a smile; albeit limited in selection. Sea-U was taken over by new owners last week who are enthusiastic about the tremendous potential this property has and excited about all their plans. Can't wait to see what they do! Will definitely be back.

Never again

Nobody there to check me in. No fault of sea u but there was a Monsoon and it was so cold. I asked for late check out and was told I could use the grounds .... in a storm.. no other suggestion or help offered.nowhere to go here . Food was worst in Caribbean . Great local bar thankfully. I found that myself. No info offered. Checkout was thankless

Beautiful spot off the beaten track

This was our first time to Barbados, so we did not have a great perspective on the location. When we first arrived we felt like we were a little isolated...but then after a little exploring realized we had lots to do and places to eat/drink. The trail that leads to Bath Beach one way and Bathsheba the other way were fantastic. The views stunning. The room was exceptional and well maintained for our needs.

Lovely rustic area away from the tourist traps - ideal for surfers and exploring . Don’t expect luxury but clean ( comfortable bed) more traditional Bajan style and welcome . Informal and v relaxed.

Beautiful cottage

We loved our stay at Sea U. We were able to upgrade to a cottage with a beautiful view and AC. It was just perfect for our stay. The grounds are so lush, green and well maintained. Its the perfect spot if you surf and want to go to soup bowl or just want to be on the east side of the island away from the hustle and bustle. Our only dislike was the breakfast. It could be improved.

Best Hotel EVER!

My husband and I stayed there for 9-days recently. The rooms were great and nicely decorated. The staff was amazing and very helpful! The food was delicious and the honor system for snacks and drinks was very convenient. If you go there, get to know Sea Cat, he is a kind and has some good stories. Our driver, Valance, is a local taxi driver. He is also full of stories and knows a lot about the area. We highly recommend Sea-U!!

Very peaceful and relaxing hotel

If you are looking for something different than the west/south coast scene, then this is the place you should stay. Our stay at the Sea-U guest house was very nice. Everything you could ask for if you're looking to sit back and relax. Such a pleasant hotel with great scenery. The staff were also very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to my friends/family.

Pros: Very peaceful, quiet, and beautiful location and facilities. Great place to relax. Walking distance to Bathsheba beach and a couple of dining options.

Cons: it was quite warm when we were there and only one fan in the room. The bed is not the most comfortable.

it was beautiful here and relaxing. however, trying to get a cab out was a disaster. they won't let you share a cab with other people. so it's kinda a money grabbing deal and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. that needs to be improved. and maybe they should include breakfast in their deal as there is no where to eat. otherwise it was lovely.

Lovely guesthouse, but not a boutique hotel

Really appreciated the location (nice and close for a super walk to the beach) and cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, with their big balconies. Take note however, that the separating walls between adjacent rooms are very thin and I'd say the beds are placed head to head on each side of the wall! Very nice dining area, but unfortunately the food is really not good. Luckily there are other places to eat nearby.

Perfect escape with stunning views

I love Sea-U! It's built with whitewashed wood and is quite rustic and in a fabulous location away from the madding crowd. If you like to be at one with nature and love the sight and sound of crashing waves, this is the place for you!

Nice peaceful hotel, good with a few books and to

Enjoyed the hotel area and peace and quite after working in Dominica for week. I was weary and needed a rest. Check in and out times were not at all helpful. I actually only had the use of the room for 13 hours, spent the rest of my time waiting for a room and then waiting around out of the room for my taxi time to the airport. This meant I had little time to get around the area.

Sea U again Sea U guest house

Fantastic room with a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the the beautiful sound of the waves at night. No bugs. We did not eat here for no reason as we walked to the round house or Atlantis for a bite and we had brought food in as there is a refrigerator and coffee maker. Tidal pools are so relaxing. Local,people friendly and fun. Safe and great internet. No tv. Who cared. Ocean sounds.

Unique experience far away from the crowd

My husband & I decided to stay here after seeing the review & photos on Expedia. The room we had was clean and comfortable, except that we could not sleep at all the 1st night as it was extremely hot with no ventilation. There was no AC or fan in our room. We were told that there is a breeze from the ocean but strangely, not that 1st night. We requested for a fan and the hotel staff sent one right away. The lights in the bathroom was also too dim for me. Now the good points.. the ambiance of the hotel was great. It's facing the ocean and you can hear the roar of the waves. There are many coconut trees & hammocks on the grounds which was lovely. They also have a huge balcony with sofa chairs which was great for just relaxing outside our room. I had a massage on the balcony- awesome! The food (breakfast & dinner) had limited choices but tasty and had a lot of local flavor. We enjoyed chatting with other guests. Overall, our stay was very pleasant. We would recommend it to anyone who would like to stay at a guest-house with character if you're exploring the more remote east coast of Barbados.

Great stay; no hassles

Pick-up and check-in went smoothly. We arrived after the office was closed, but a security guard gave us a quick tour and let us into our room. No hassles. Breakfast was simple yet filling. View of the surf was nice, a beach was within walking distance.
