The 9 Best Hotels to Please a Tight Budget in Barbados
Caribbean vacations can be expensive, but Barbados is fortunate to have inns, hotels, and resorts to meet most any budget. The west coast is called the “Platinum Coast” for good reason, but several lodgings on the south coast or east coast are very affordable, whether an inn, a guest house, a hotel, or a full-service resort. These are the cheapest hotel options in Barbados.
The Atlantis Hotel
Why it made the list
Only slightly more expensive than its east-coast neighbors, The Atlantis is still a good value considering its amazing location overlooking the ocean, excellent restaurant, and beautifully decorated guestrooms (and fabulous bathrooms). Plus, it has a pool.
Round House Inn
Why it made the list
Settle into one of the four small, architecturally interesting, price-is-right rooms at the Round House on the rugged east coast. The ocean views are amazing. Bring your surfboard...or a good book.
Sea-U Guest House
Why it made the list
Tucked away on a cliff overlooking the ocean on the island’s east coast, this laid-back spot has a few nicely furnished rooms and suites surrounded by trees and tropical foliage. The terrain gets rugged, though, if you wander about or head down to the sea. Peaceful and quiet, you’re pretty much on your own here.
Coconut Court Beach Hotel
Why it made the list
Rooms at this south-coast hotel may be “no frills,” but nearly all of them face beautiful Hastings Beach just out front. That’s a huge draw. Also, all rooms have a small kitchenette—and kids under 12 stay free.
Courtyard Bridgetown by Marriott
Why it made the list
This is a reliable brand, and the rooms are modern and nicely furnished. There’s a small pool, but guests have to walk to the beach (across the road) or drive to nearby restaurants for a good evening meal and nighttime activities.
South Beach Hotel
Why it made the list
The long lap pool in from of this high-rise condo-style hotel will get your attention. The rooms are big, modern, and quite luxurious—which makes the price even more attractive. Walk next door to get supplies for your kitchen and across the street to Accra Beach.
Savannah Beach Hotel
Why it made the list
While The Savannah’s location is convenient to Bridgetown and the Garrison Historic District—and the value is notable—the beach here is not the greatest. The lagoon pool that flows through the courtyard just outside the rooms, however, is a pretty neat way to chill. And it’s just a 5-minute walk to magnificent beaches on Carlisle Bay.
Divi Southwinds Beach Resort
Why it made the list
An excellent choice for families with young children, this beachfront resort is all suites—each with a full kitchen. Besides enjoying the pools and beach, the whole family can play tennis, basketball, or miniature golf. There’s also a kids club, playground, and huge lawn to run around.
Accra Beach Hotel and Spa
Why it made the list
This large hotel overlooks a great beach—plus its central south-coast location is convenient to shops, restaurants, nightspots, and transportation. The rates for “island-view” rooms are hard to beat given the number of on-site activities and amenities.
