Close your eyes and feel the Caribbean sun on your face; you've arrived at the Dover Beach Hotel in Barbados. Located on the southern coast of this tropical island, the resort is within walking distance to the famous St. Lawrence Gap but far enough from the hustle and bustle to give you the peace and quiet that drew you to the Caribbean in the first place. Whether you grab a sun cot and stretch out on the sun deck by the freshwater pool, or stroll down to the white beach for a swim in the warm waters, relaxing is the number one activity at family-owned Dover Beach.

great location, nice digs
rooms decent and who stays in on vacation anyway, no elevator, pool and beach very nice, fellow travelers come back here for these and location, location, location. St. Lawrence Gap IS the happening place on the island and it's easy to get to bridgetown for more fun. close to airport but not close enough to be any problem. Recommended to friends.
Dover Beach hotel exceeded my expectation in terms of personal service and accomodation. The satff were excellent expecially natalie who helped us arrange some activities we wanted to engage in such as safari, roots and rhythm etc. We were made very comfortable. On the day she was not working, she took it upon herself to call us and let us know of activity going on that she thought we might like to attend. i thought that was very nice of her.
Our accomodation included one room, sitting room and kitchenette. it felt like home away from home in that we could prepare our own meal if we liked and entertained friends as if we were home. My accomodation also has a patio with sitting area and you could see the beach and the waves from the patio. Directly in front of the patio is the green leafy/palm garden.
I loved this place and would recommend it to any one seeking accomodation that is worth or exceeds the value you pay for it. Also the resort is about 15 minutes working distance to gap, the famous area for night life. Directly behind the resort is the atlantic ocean/ beach where you could swim to your heart content. Overall it was an excellent experience.

Great time at the Dover
My husband and I spent a week at the Dover this month. Had a great time. Our first room was near the stairwell (noisy), but the staff was more than accomadating when I inquired about moving. Our next room was perfect. It was very neat and clean, looked out to the ocean. The restaurant is under new management and Tyson and his crew are working very hard to please everyone. We had the best fish for lunch one day that I think I've ever had!! Everyone at the Dover is pleasant, helpful and have continual smiles! When we asked for ideas for dinner offsite, no problem. Many are within walking distance. Learned the bus system (first for us), with help from the locals. They don't have a beach directly in front (nice rocks), but there is a nice one on their left and is easily accessable. Their pool is nice and have palm trees for shade. Met a lot of very nice travelors at the Dover - many repeats (and I can see why). Would definately go back to the Dover (hopefully next year)!!
The Dover Beach Hotel is a small resort located right on the beach on the quiet end of St Lawrence Gap. The rooms are small and the restaurant runs on island time and sometimes not at all, but there are excellent choices within walking distance in the Gap.
The hotel staff are all very helpful and quite knowledgable about local activities that are well done. They more than make up for what the hotel lacks in size and selection. They make you feel like family and the whole place is usually spotless.
There is a nice pool in the courtyard and the beach is just a few steps away with lovely white coral sand and extends eastward all the way to the Maxwall coast.
Would gladly stay there in the future.
It's a great place for a family on a budget.

Hotel Description
Dover Beach Hotel in Barbados: Laid-Back Vacation Heaven
Close your eyes and feel the Caribbean sun on your face; you've arrived at the Dover Beach Hotel in Barbados. Located on the southern coast of this tropical island, the resort is within walking distance to the famous St. Lawrence Gap but far enough from the hustle and bustle to give you the peace and quiet that drew you to the Caribbean in the first place. Whether you grab a sun cot and stretch out on the sun deck by the freshwater pool, or stroll down to the white beach for a swim in the warm waters, relaxing is the number one activity at family-owned Dover Beach.
Head over to St. Lawrence Gap, known for its duty-free shopping, great restaurants and exciting nightlife. When it's time to eat, go to nearby restaurant David's Place for authentic Barbadian fare or dig into fresh pasta at Bellini's Trattoria, both within easy walking distance of the hotel. After the sun goes down, let the beat of the Caribbean get you in the island groove at any one of St. Lawrence Gap's cool nightclubs. Dance the night away to reggae and the sound of steel drums, tap your toes to Calypso tunes or sit back and sip a martini while listening to Jazz.
The Barbados Golf Club offers discounts to Dover Beach guests. Originally designed by Col. J. Harris, then re-designed by Ron Kirby, this 18-hole course is not only beautiful, it's also challenging. Other sports like tennis or squash are also available nearby; just let the friendly staff know your interests. If water sports beckon, seek out easy-to-find opportunities for deep sea fishing or jet skiing, both within walking distance.
Dover Beach Hotel also makes a great base for exploring the beauty of Barbados. Book a tour of Harrison's Cave, where streams and waterfalls flow through an exotic underground world. Or, explore island history at Holetown or Speightstown. Round out your trip with a visit to the Barbados Wildlife Preserve, where you'll have a blast making one more friend on the island--the Barbados Green Monkey.
