    Beautiful and cozy small hotel. The rooms are spacious studios, with terrace and sea view.

    Clean rooms with unbelievable views in a very well connected area. Easy beach access. Clean amenities, though the lift needs to be changed. The gentlemen serving the front desk were lovely and extremely helpful. We spent 7 days with our toddler and loved staying here.

    Lovely hotel perfectly positioned where all rooms face the beach / sea. Waking up throwing open the curtains & doors to such a great view is fabulous. The room terrace / balcony is a useful facility to use for breakfast or lunch . A little dated perhaps inside but it has the essential Barbadian feel and character. We (and all the other guests we spoke to) loved it. Supermarkets and the restaurant area of St Lawrence gap are within easy walking distance.

    Perfect spot by a lovely natural beach. Spacious rooms with sea views and furnished balconies. Handy for buses and shops yet quiet for a good night's sleep.

    Coral Sands Beach Resort is 10/10. However, the staff made the experience a 20/10. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and helpful. Kenneth and Jerry felt like family! I would highly recommend this place due to the amazing staff. The only critique I have is for the management/owners. Barbados is a naturally hot place, I was staying at the resort during one of the hottest times for the island. It was very disheartening to see the front staff with access fans no a/c it was horrible .... you could tell the fan was blowing hot air on them. You should not treat employees this way as they build relationships with your guests and create an unforgettable experience for them. Management/owner, do better towards your staff.

    This was a GREAT very relaxing right on a quite almost private beach!! The balcony on the rooms is huge and VERY private. With a view for all rooms to the west the sunsets are great. The pool is intimate but so clean and nice and bar right next to it with some rooms that open out on the pool. The rooms have VERY stocked kitchen for making anything you want. There is a high end grocery store that is right at the end of the long driveway so it is too easy to get anything you want there. Just in case you have a long stay; there is a regular all the locals use grocery store 4.5 blocks down all flat and easy to walk just beyond the Worthington post office. I walked down early the first morning and we were there and got egg, juice, coffee, bacon and snacks and great wine for the whole week for great prices. The staff was sweet at helpful on how to ride the bus in to downtown which was easy and cheap. Also rode it down to the open air fish market at Ostins so while fun the inexpensive bus offset the the great but expensive fish. Great quality hotel for the price with screen doors you could close so no bugs while you listen to the waves crash all night. Great vacation!!!

    Little gorgeous boutique resort off the beaten path but with an exclusive experience on Worthing beach. We had a few nights in Barbados before heading home to London and we didn’t want a busy and big resort as we are finding we are losing the personalized experience in bigger resorts. This hotel is beautiful, not too big but perfect. It literally overlooks the beautiful coral soft white silk sands of Worrhing beach and the views from our room was spectacular. The rooms are huge, great space, a balcony that overlooks the ocean and a little kitchenette which is always an added advantage for those who want to cook. There are restaurants, bars and grocery stores around the area and the Gap is literally a 7 minute walk. It’s safe, well lit and there is CCTV everywhere. The airport is about 20 minutes drive to Worthing. Staff are friendly and helpful and we didn’t have any issues at all. The rooms are equipped with the basics - a safe, dryer, iron, a good sized closet, there is a dining table set, kitchen bar stools and a full sized fridge and freezer. The green interior of the room could be really toned down and modernized. I am not a big fan of green so I wasn’t feeling the interior. But that’s a minor personal choice. Breakfast was great and the chef was super friendly and polite. She was really good. The value for money is decent compared to some of the hotels on the Gap or in Bridgetown. Beautiful birds in the mornings. It’s very clean, great location and not too crowded. The swimming pool is fab and I had no issues at all. We also loved the little beach bars and the art work plastered around the hotel. I will definitely be back, that’s for sure.

    We stayed here for a week and had an amazing experience! The staff were super friendly and helpful, the rooms were so roomy and clean, the beach view was amazing, we felt safe the whole time, and the food was always on point! We enjoyed chatting it up with Mrs Claire and Mr Kenneth, there is one other person who works mornings just didn’t catch his name! This hotel was a highlight of our first trip to Barbados! The location is also perfect 🤩

    Perfect?, almost. The location is fabulous- right on the beachfront, beautiful white sandy beach, turquoise sea and turtles! The rooms are spacious and all have sea views with large balconies. It is fairly small, I think about 30 rooms, so you feel like you're getting personal attention. The staff were all helpful, friendly and cheerful. On the down side, the wi-if was hit and miss in some areas. The restaurant and bar closed at 7 pm which I felt was too early. The bar staff also have to cover food orders in the kitchen so the bar is unattended for long periods. Lounger service would be nice. The bath towels were a little small. However the real way to judge any hotel is, would I go back? It's an easy question, the answer is an unequivocal, yes.

  • 5/5 Luscious D. 4 years ago on Google
    We stayed here recently for 5 days, the location was perfect, close to everything, and still quiet at night. The hotel and the room were immaculate. Loved having a kitchen, loved swimming with the turtles in front of our hotel, and snorkeling the reef without having to book a tour as it was at our doorstep. Beautiful large balcony where we had several romantic dinners with the local fresh fish purchased at the close by Oistins fish market. Wonderful time at grab-a-granny!!!! And a special thank you to Carl, who continuously went out of his way for our entire stay. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Thank you Carl!

    Outstanding location, large room/balcony, unbeatable view of the ocean, easy walk to grocery stores, post office, French bakery, bus stop, quiet and very friendly staff. This is our third trip to Barbados, first to Coral Sands and we'd definitely stay here again!

    Me and my partner have just spent a wonderful week at the Coral Sands Beach hotel. The location is fabulous right on the beach and we especially loved the noise of the crashing waves and frogs croaking from our balcony. We found it a convenient location from which to explore the island. There's a supermarket near the hotel and we loved being able to self cater and watch the amazing view of the beach from our large balcony. The room/kitchen/ bathroom was really spacious and cleaned every day. The only down side was the building work in the next door property. When l asked to be moved to a quieter room reception were most helpful and moved us the same morning. I think building work was nearly finished so hopefully won't be a problem soon. There are also turtles swimming just by hotel, l saw 4 one morning! Swimming was lovely by hotel and beautiful soft sand, beware of quite strong currents though. Pictures taken from our room on 3rd floor.

    Wonderful hotel in an excellent location offering sterling service! On the shores of a stunning beach with nearby bars and restaurants! Many thanks especially to Suzanne and Claire who were courteous, professional and very friendly and made our stay very special! Lovely big room with a gorgeous terrace overlooking the stunning Caribbean Sea. We will definitely return!

    Nice big rooms with nice balcony that looks out on pool and ocean beyond. Might be time for a new mattress but who cares when you can fall asleep listening to the waves crashing. Close to great grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and beaches.🥰🥰🥰🥰

    Lovely place, bit dated, but excellent location and good value for money

  • 5/5 Lely C. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent customer service. Large, bright, clean rooms. Huge oceanfront, private balconies. Beautiful pool. Walking distance to the local markets and to the St. Lawrence Gap. My only negative remark is that the pool bar was hardly ever attended. I would definitely go back!

    Can't say enough good things about this hotel! First and foremost, the beautiful beach is literally steps away. Lounge chairs are available at the pool and additional ones are stored next to the pool and can be taken to the beach. Staff is courteous, pleasant, and very helpful. Suzanna at the front desk helped us arrange several excursions and even called to confirm on her day off. Our room was spacious and clean and we definitely appreciated having all the necessary tools to make our own breakfast daily: the full kitchen had plates, mugs, utensils, skillet, several metal and glass pots, spatulas, etc. Hopefully we'll be back next year! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

    Google says I visited CSBR a year ago and I only wish I did! Can’t wait for this hotel to reopen so we can visit again. Really nice, quiet, informal hotel with a great pool, beach area and really friendly staff. All rooms have a sea view and excellent facilities

    We booked this hotel in August 2023 for a January 2024 getaway. My wife was so excited for this trip because it's been a dream of hers for 17 years to have a Sea/Ocean view. Upon booking, the hotel offered 3 options through Expedia. A) Studio Suite, 2 Double Beds, Sea View B) Studio Suite, 1 King Bed, Sea View C) Studio, 2 Double Beds, Ground Floor, Partial Sea View We paid a little bit more to ensure we received option A and our Expedia Itinerary confirmed as much. The day before our Trip, the Hotel contacted us attempting to bill an additional fee (approx $400 CAD) for our young child vacationing with us, even though their ads stated Children stay free. The Hotel acknowledged this, withdrew their request, and immediately changed their ads on Expedia for future bookings. First problem solved. Upon arriving and checking in, we received one of the Ground Floor Suites despite our booking. The room we received was just outside the lobby, elevator, and staircase, and we could hear absolutely everything outside of our room for the duration of our stay. The Sea View we received was in fact the Partial Sea View they advertised, and our view consisted of the Outdoor Pool, Pool Bar, Hotel Guests, Chainlink fence with barbed wire, and beyond all of that, the sea... We inquired with the hotel staff and manager regarding our accommodations explaining we hadn't received what we had booked, and the manager stated the Ground Floor, Partial Sea View was a marketing attempt they used in the summer, but we had received what we had booked. The Ground Floor, Partial Sea View ad had mysteriously disappeared on Expedia after this conversation. Fortunately we had screenshots of our Itinerary as well as screenshots of the other listings, but still no acknowledgement that we were given the wrong room and that we should contact Expedia as it may have been Expedia's problem to deal with. Contacting Expedia didn't get us anywhere as they had contacted the Hotel, and the Hotel simply stated they had given us what we booked. At this point the hotel was booked to capacity and they did not have any other rooms to give us. We had asked them if there was anything they could do for us, it would be greatly appreciated. We were stuck with that room for the entirety of our 9 night stay and my wife's dream vacation had been shattered. Had the Hotel showed any kind of accountability, or made any kind of effort to make our stay more enjoyable, we would have been fine with that. Zero action from the hotel. We tried our best to put the situation in the back of our mind and enjoy the rest of our vacation, but sadly our stay at the Coral Sands has left a sizable stain on the memory of our vacation. I would not return to this hotel in the future, and would recommend that others avoid it as well.

👍👍 This is our third time at The Sands and we couldn’t love it more. The staff are friendly, the rooms clean and spacious and the local fun is perfect. The sun beds are comfortable, the pool is a dream. We love the live music at night as well.

🫤 I would not call this a hotel but self catering apartments with restaurant onsite when it is open. This is run by separate people to the hotel. Rooms are in need upgrading badly. Even though we had booked a room in advance this was not available when we arrived as it had been given to somebody else...
