Easy walking to the main road and public transportation. Great spots nearby to grab a bit and find entertainment. Excellent beach out back if you don’t feel like going too far. All in all a great budget friendly option for your Barbados holiday!

My most favorite hotel in Barbados. This is my second time staying at the Dover Beach Hotel and again my experience was great!!! This hotel is very affordable, safe, clean, friendly staff, in a central area on the st. Lawrence gap strip. Being located on the strip everything is walkable such as restaurants, bars, lounges, park, bus stop isnt far, even a church, and many taxis are around. This hotel is right on the beach, has 2 pools, a bar/restaurant, gym, ice machine, microwave and refrigerator in the room, air conditioning of course and balcony. Dover beach hotel is wonderful!

Disliked: Staff & service
My rating for the staff was based on the restaurant staff and one of the receptionists. My overall stay was scary and unpleasant. 1- on the first night I had a very unpleasant experience with one of the guards, I felt like he was following me to my room; when I asked him about it he told me relax, then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. I asked to be relocated for the remaining of my stay 2- still on the first night in my first room the neighboring guests were noisy and I could hear everything and I mean EVERYTHING even intimate moments. Not sure if these people were having a party but there was loud talking, laughter and slamming of doors throughout the night. I was relocated for my second night stay and that room was better, I finally got a good night rest, so I thought “this place is actually not that bad”. I was WRONG 3- on my final night guess what, someone opened the door to my room at 9:12pm. Yes I said opened, used a key card turn the lock and entered the room, thank God I had the chain on so they didn’t gain full entry. I started to scream and the person on the other end apologized. I reported the situation to the Front desk upon my checkout and they were shocked and apologized - they asked me if I requested any service to my room “AM NO”, the “do not disturb” tag was on the door.

Great place with friendly staff and comfortable accommodations. 5 min walk to the main road where local public transportation is quite easy! This saved us tons as we didn't have to pay a hotel taxi 3 times the price to get to the same beaches and popular spots! Amazing little restaurants and cafes just a short walk away and there is a minimart just around the corner. Great option for families or groups or ppl on a budget

Property sits on the beach which is a plus. Has a restaurant and bar right on site. Views of the sea from the restaurant are spectacular and very calming. Staff was AMAZING. Any and everything we asked for we received with a smile. Housekeeping staff cleaned the rooms and did an incredible job. Rooms smelled fresh and sanitized after every cleaning. The only drawback is the hotel van only runs until 5pm due to not having another person to drive in the evening. There’s other restaurants(3-10mins) and a convenience store(5 mins) within walking distance. The GAP(nightlife and restaurants) is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute taxi ride. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

It was okay - some staff were okay (restaurant) and some from the front desk were not. Main pool was closed most of the trip, other pool had to wait and ask for chairs to be put out. As I mentioned, the hotel is okay, level or service/speed could be improved and would make for a better experience, most staff you had to ask for help several times and just overall service was very slow.

If you're working with a limited budget this might be the place for you. TV didn't work and kept saying no signal. Restaurant attached to the hotel. The food was palatable. Not much activity in that area. You have to take transportation to get some entertainment.
