Divi Southwinds Beach Resort in Barbados (alles)

The location was the best part of the trip. The service was very slow and very inefficient. Very laid back and give an air of not caring. We booked one night as a hotel night to lead into a week of traded time share at the same place. The staff tried to convince us that the hotel room and the time share were the same and we had to be forceful in order […] to be moved to the proper accommodations. It was very noisy and noone wanted to help you with anything. Lees meer

Advised hotel ahead of time our midnight arrival and were relieved at our kind receptionist. Taxi ride: $16.00 US: good deal. Facilities might be a little tired, but were just what we needed: clean, roomy, well-lit outside, quiet, secure, very close to the prettiest beach on the island, nice restaurant, half-way between airport and cruise port. The […] price was right. Recommend. Lees meer

check in was long and they did not give us the pool view we paid for until we complained. Did get late check out. Activities center was closed part of Sunday am. Units were spacious and beds comfortable. Great location.

I have been to Divi many times before. It is not the most luxurious, but it it is in a superb position, on one of the best beaches in Barbados, and convenient for all the restaurants in St. Lawrence Gap. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

This hotel offers a tremendous amount for the money. We compared many hotels and found the value to be Divi. The beach and beach bar/restaurant are fabulous. This is not an exotic 5 star hotel, but rather a relaxing casual delightful place to enjoy a well needed respite. We enjoyed the friendly staff, the food was fresh and always a nice presentation. […] We are already planning our trip back next year. We had so much fun in and around St. Lawrence Gap, that we ran out of time to see the rest of the Island. Lees meer

The rooms were kept all right, but you never got any more condiments after the original day. Any other hotel replenishes daily. If we wanted any more coffe, we had to go out and buy it. They never managed to get the requests as to the needs for the room. There was only one wheelchair for the resort and it was always out.It was diifcult to get a meal […] at the restaurant as they had weird hours of operation, so it seemed, and no two people could give the same answer as to what was on the menu for that evening.

The hotel is clean and comfortable but the staff are rude and very unhelpful! Don't expect anything apart from a self catering room as the bar was not open in the day and apart from managers drinks for 1 hour 1 evening a week there is no entertainment and the food is really expensive! I think I saw 2 staff smile at me in 2 weeks and the rest of the […] time to even answer me! Slow slow slow remember you are in Barbados and that's the pace! Lees meer

food is less than OK and expensive for what it is. B'fast in particular at U$ 20,00. Poor selection and quality. Considering Barbados standards, is a good choice for the price, as similar priced hotels can be a lot worse. Staff was friendly

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

If you want to go to Barbados I would suggest a hotel on the east or west coast. The south where the gap is at is really run down. There are many panhandlers that will not take no for an answer. The hotel itself was very nice, but once off the property you really had to watch out for yourself. Not a fun feeling if all you want to do is relax on vac […] ation. Lees meer

I rated this hotel an overall "3" because there were several pros and cons to our 10-day stay: pros included a great cleaning staff, a great and beautiful location, and the general cleanliness of the hotel and our room. The hotel is located steps away from the beach and right on the Gap, which is close to a lot of bars and clubs. The major con was the […] generally lukewarm service we received when we checked in and at the beach-side restaurant. Lees meer

Located in the middle of St Lawrence Gap, nice place, great pool, seaside, and good rooms. Food options at the hotel were limited but you have the whole GAP options for nitelife and eating just a 2 min walk up the beach.

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

Well let me say this, if you want to relax on the beach, read a magazine, and take a nap this hotel is the place to do it. The beach front room was not exactly on the beach, the atmosphere on the Tue. and Wed. night was very quite, perhaps it livens up on the weekend. The area was very close to the capital, bars, small shops, other hotels and transportation. […] It definately is a 2.5 star resort, but clean, quiet and safe. The price for a one bedroom apartment was fare and the service was attentive. Lees meer

We stayed at the Divi for 10 days, with our 2 little ones. We had a suite, pool view, and on the main floor, which worked out well, as we could walk out to the pool easily. The resort is okay. It's definitely got more of a hotel feel as opposed to a resort feel. The staff were definitely not overly friendly or welcoming however, the cleaning staff were […] quite nice. Front desk staff were not welcoming at all. The grounds weren't great. The pool was nice, and the kids enjoyed both the big pool and the kiddie pool. It would be nice if there was some music at the pool, it was super quiet all the time, which can be nice, but a little soft island music would have been nice. The park was a nice break from the water for the kids. They quite enjoyed that. Meals are completely overpriced at the main restaurant/bar. It was empty all the time. I only saw a few people eating there on any given day, and sometimes none it seemed. The Mini-Mart sucked and the staff there payed no attention to the customers, just yapped all the time with their friends like a paying customer was an annoyance. I get the sense that the resort focusses their attention on the time share holders/members. We enjoyed our vacation, but don't think I'd go back to the same hotel again. If the staff had of been a bit more friendly, I'd have a higher rating for this hotel. Many just seemed indifferent, and when we travel the staff have always been so friendly and helpful. This was a very different experience for us. Lees meer

We were at the end of our vacation when we stayed at this hotel and it was an excellent choice. It had all the amenities my husband and myself were looking for; kitchen, living room, clean bathroom and bedroom, close to "The Gap", beach and airport The only exception: the unit did not have a coffee machine, and I love a perked cup of coffee in the morning. […] .

The hotel is an ok property for families with children, nice pool and beach right across the street (although the beach had a serious slope and undertow)...rooms have a kitchenette and fold out couch for extra kids, etc...however, our building was in serious need of a facelift...cracked tiles, worn out bathtubs, dull and dirty paint, no remotes for […] the TV's, etc The property advertises 2 restaurants on site, but only one (across the road) actually serves food or drinks....the one by the pool only holds sales events for vacation packages...not even coffee or sodas available at the pool.

went for a girls trip. though i knew i wasn't intending on spending much time in the room while in a carribean country, I at least expected some standard-that was not meant. The facilities of the hotel are nice - pool, beach, front desk. But the rooms without question definitely are in need of some updating!!!

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Ingrid was amazing. She truly is a pleasure to come in contact with when one first arrives. Always attentive when we approached to ask questions. My husband and I were very pleased to have met her. Having a kitchen is always our desire and we were pleased with that as well. The beach is very nice as well. It's across the street from the hotel but not […] a big deal. If you're going with kids it's best to stay by the pool area. Food shopping go find Big Bee's. not far. Suggest renting a car so you can get around. Unless you want to ride the bus, up to you. But I'm spoiled and like having a car to get up and go. OH, they drive on the wrong side of the street. Well, for us it's wrong. For them it's right. Regardless had a great time. Make sure if you don't stay at the Divi South Winds make sure you ask if you can swim in the beach.After walking along the beaches at different areas we noticed many spots you could not swim in because of the rocks. Very bad. Stay away from Savannah!!!! Beach access but no beach to swim in. Lees meer

This hotel was very comfortable. Beautifull pool and outdoor restaurant. The beach bar was fantastic and offers happy hour and good food....the beach setting was relaxing with lounge chairs and palm trees along dover beach. Really no complaints. I would definitely stay there again, if only for the beach bar and lounging experience.:)

This was my 7th time staying there in 25 years (and my 8th time in Barbados). Many others who have stayed there over the years noted how the hotel has gone down - is in need of repair. We haven't stayed there as often and I am not as critical, perhaps. It is a 3-star hotel after all - so my expectations were according to that.....Quite frankly, I found […] everything about the place perfect and to my liking - as did my husband. The staff is friendly and helpful - and displayed the usual courtesy and kindness of Bajans in general. They went out of their way to insure that our needs were met - to the front desk personnel who took our needs into account when checking in and out and were otherwise helpful when we had questions about anything or needed money changed etc, to the cleaning staff who were accommodating and did a great job every day, the head-gardener was a real pleasure to speak to and had his team nicely fixing up the place for Christmas, the activities director and coordinator were very helpful in suggesting the most appropriate catamaran trip for our family, the bartenders / waiters were great and fun to talk to, the person in charge of the beach chairs / umbrellas was very kind, etc etc. The unit we were in was clean and in good order. When we had an issue with the toilet (thanks to our 3-year-old) the maintenance person went out of his way to help resolve the issue, even though his shift had ended for the night. Additionally, when we arrived the main pool was not in use /was down due to maintenance...but we were allowed to use the members' pool - which was actually located in a shadier spot and perfect for us. The main pool was up and running again within days.... The hotel is located perfectly for going to restaurants, tourist shops and the mini-marts (for food) in the Gap there is the opporutnity to do watersports on the same beach and a couple of nice places to eat (including the hotel's beach bar) that overlook / are on the beach too.....and nightclu Lees meer

The single room was spacious enough for 3 (pull out couch in the living room). Not the most modern hotel but was comfy enough; most of the hotels in the area need a facelift. Room could be a little cleaner; bathroom and tiles are a worn and or could be cleaned better. Staff EXTREMELY helpful and friendly which makes your stay more comfortable. Pool […] was in repair/unable to be used at the time of my visit which was not that disappointing since the beach is a stones throw away. The location is PERFECT if you want to limit taking cabs. You can walk to everything in "the gap" which has many clubs, restaurants, and a convenience store that has a little bit of everything. The room has a kitchenette and fully stocked with dishes, pots and utensils (but I do NO cooking when on vacation). Lees meer

I would […] definitely recommend this hotel for anyone like me who wants to have the taste of both outside food and cooking when time permits.

I did alot of reviews before i chose Divi and i was very satisfied with my choice. The hotel was very comfortable and clean and travelling on off peak seasons has lots of benefits, such as having many facilities to myself which i thoroughly enjoyed. My room was very comfortable but i think the hotel should list the items available in the kitchenette. […] It was very well stocked and had i known this i couldve bought my own wine at the duty free shop :) I did not eat at the hotel since there were many options available at the Gap and i tried quite a few; pisces, cafe sol, harlequin etc. I was dissatisfied with the website's version of location. On the website, it stated that the hotel is located on the beach and while there is one property on the beach, the main hotel is located over the Gap and one has to walk to get to the beach. This needs to be clarified. Juliet from the activities centre was the best! She organised all my tours with such efficiency and i would also highly recommend the El Tigre Catamarran tour. It was the best catamarran ive tried in the Caribbean! Overall, i enjoyed my time at Divi and would definitely go back to this hotel if i ever go back to Barbados! Try it! Lees meer

Not quite luxury but very good for the price. Expansive grounds, very nice beach, accommodating staff. Internet is expensive and it would help if they spiffed up the corridors. The room was good with a well equipped kitchen. Good selection of restaurants within walking distance, we liked the Ships Carvery, the kids got the buffet for half price.

The hotel is ideally located on either side of St Lawrence Gap, near to all the nightlife, restaurants, Dover beach, and just minutes away from Oistins, Supercenter, and Bridgetown. Transportation is so easy to access....just stand outside the hotel and hop a ZR bus (warning - they drive really hard, sometimes blast loud music, and can get really cramped!). […] It costs Bds$2. one way. I loved the quiet of the hotel, and the sound of the water fountain right outside the room. There were 2 tvs, a full kitchen, with utensils and adequate space in the room. Check in and check out were a breeze. Since check out was at 11am and our flight was much later, we left our luggage and had the option to use the hospitality room for showering and freshening up. I would definitely return to Divi! Lees meer
