  Home away from home

  The hotel is perfect for families, would recommend to others for sure, I spent 4 nights with my sons. The room had a great view and was very spacious and comfortable; felt like home away from home. There's a pool with both a shallow and a deep end and a swim up pool bar as well. The restaurant has loads of tasty food and kid options. There's a modern gym and a kids games room that kept the kids well entertained. The staff was friendly and very attentive and their service was excellent. A great experience overall.

  Family Vacation

  Hotel has a nice layout on a beautiful beach. Most staff were kind. The one- bedroom is large and offers a full kitchen. The room was cleaned daily. I had to ask for washclothes every time until i asked them to make a note that we need washclothes with towels. I would have expected that to be standard service. The floor tiles are slippery on first floor patios. I slipped on it and had an injury to my foot. They brought bandages to fix me up. I did expect some type of offering since I got hurt on property due to their flooring. There was nothing offered. That kind of reflected the overall service. They did what was necessary but nothing beyond. Keep that in mind based on what type of service you expect. You will need a car or take taxis in this location. There is free parking at hotel. My kids got hookworm from this beach. Although, it is a beautiful beach, there are parasites in the sand, most likely from cat feces. The hotel has a LOT of cats. There are also really cool frogs on site. Restaurant: service was good most of time, one night it took an hour and a half to get food. Another time I would have expected something- maybe offer a free dessert since dinner took way too long. There was no offering and I did not ask. Overall, I liked stay. Would have been excellent with better service and no parasites.

  Feels like home – my 4th stay and already planning the 5th!

  I just returned from an 18-night stay at Bougainvillea — my fourth visit since October 2023 — and once again, it completely lived up to (and exceeded) expectations. Every time I come back, I’m reminded why I keep choosing this place: it’s not just the beautiful surroundings, but the people who make it truly special. I can honestly say it keeps getting harder to leave. I have to give a massive and heartfelt shout-out to Michael from Watersports, who honestly makes every stay feel like coming home. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us like old friends, remembered exactly where I like to sit on the beach, and had our loungers set up every morning without fail — always with a warm smile and kind word. It's rare to meet someone so genuinely attentive and thoughtful. He doesn’t just work there — he cares, and it shows in everything he does. Michael has become such a core part of our Bougainvillea experience that I can’t imagine a visit without his energy, warmth, and consistent kindness. If you’re lucky enough to meet him, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. Another standout this trip was Josh at the pool bar, who kept us happily hydrated the entire stay. He’s got the perfect balance of charm, humour, and serious cocktail skills. I strongly recommend everyone try a Mudslide, especially if Josh is the one making it — trust me, he makes the best on the island. Possibly the best anywhere. Just be prepared… one sip and you’ll be hooked for life. It was a little bittersweet to see that a few familiar faces from my earlier visits had moved on since my last stay in September. That said, the spirit of Bougainvillea is still alive and well. Every single staff member made us feel so welcome and cared for — it’s that genuine warmth that keeps bringing me back. Already counting down the days until I return again. Bougainvillea, and the amazing team behind it, really have my heart.

  Bougainvillea Never Disappoints

  I've been visiting Barbados and Bougainvillea since 2008. The island of course speaks for itself: beautiful countryside, relaxed and welcoming vibe and the warmth and charm of the people. All of this and more is on full display daily at Bougainvillea. Clean, inviting, safe, fun. The list goes on and on. The staff is so respectful and and 100% service oriented; not because it's their jobs but because of who they are. I had a medical emergency during my recent visit and the level or care during and afterwards was mind-blowingly supportive. Shout out to the entire team, but especially the Security team and Shamari and Troy in particular for seeing me and my travel companions through it all. I could concentrate on feeling better knowing I was in good hands. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Bougainvillea.

  Definitely Coming Back!

  We truly enjoyed our stay at Bougainvillea Barbados. the view is absolutely amazing. A very cozy boutique resort without all the fluff, definitely what we needed. We were here for business to look at other resorts and wanted this to be home base. The hospitality of the staff was amazing! I especially want to give a shout out to Kayla in Calabash, she was our server throughout our stay, and she was the sweetest and very attentive.
