Small friendly hotel in a little spot of paradise
Claire O (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on Mar 19, 2024
I had mixed feelings about this hotel after reading some negative reviews on here. I was pleasantly shocked especially with the friendliness of all staff, from pool cleaners, maids to bar staff. Everyone was so friendly and always greeted us with a big friendly smile. The location of this hotel is perfect. Only a 15 minute walk to oistins and the beautiful bacardi beach which is in a little inlet/cove so the waters are very calm and you can go snorkeling, we even spotted sea turtles. There is a large supermarket located at oistins. The hotel itself is on a beach but the water can get very choppy so I would be careful swimming in the sea. The hotel snackbar/cafe is situated overlooking the sea you will not get a better view. The price of the food at the snack bar was average and whilst there I had the tuna salad, a spicy pizza, fish bites all of which were very tasty. Our room was dated but authentic, a small kitchen area and fridge so we could make snacks etc. The room was always kept very clean, beds were made daily and towles always changed. The beds were quite comfortable and the mirrored wardrobes were great for checking out your outfit before going out on an evening. My only negative was the lack of plug sockets and the location of them for charging phones etc. We had a spacious balcony over looking the swim up pool and a slight sea view, our balcony got the sun all day round. There is a free safe in the room for use. There is 2 little shops opposite the hotel selling basic food, snacks, alcohol, cigarettes etc. There's is also a chinese restaurant which we went to twice during our holiday. There a couple of pubs opposite the hotel our favorite being the hangout, the staff were so friendly and it was great to hangout with the locals. The hotel is about 10 minutes in a reggae bus to st lawrence gap. St lawrence gap for me was overrated we didn't find one pub/ restaurant which sold cocktails made with fresh fruit they were all made with syrup. The reggae buses are an experience and a great, cheap way to get around..only £3.50 bbd. Overall a fantastic small hotel in a beautiful location and very good value for money. I can understand why this hotel gets fully booked very quickly and customers return year after year
The curates egg.
H5169DHsteveh (Downham Market, United Kingdom) on Mar 17, 2024
We stayed at the Butterfly Beach for two weeks in March and like the curates egg parts of it are wonderful. We booked a sea view apartment and arriving very tired were shown a ground floor room where not a lot of sea was visible and sunbathers sat just outside our balcony. I asked if it would be possible to relocate to a higher location, not holding out a lot of hope as this is peak season. The wonderful manageress had us on the 4th floor in two days, outstanding. The hotel is about due for a refurbishment, doors stick, the kettle wouldn't cut off and the odd lick of paint would be good. Nothing drastically wrong and all eminently liveable with. The worst aspect was however the restaurant. To eat at the Butterfly you have 3 choices.1/ take a bus to Oistins or St Laurence Gap. 2/ Walk across the road to either the Fern { live music} or the New Garden Chinese, and 3/ Eat at the Reef Bar in the Hotel. We ate there twice and wished we hadn't. We were treated as a nuisance, the food was mediocre and the service was appalling. The waves on the beach tend to be a bit rough but surprisingly if you get the bus into Oistins, Miami beach is sheltered and shallow. The weather is perfect !
