Santosha Barbados

The Santosha Windy Hill truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The treehouse feel of the suite we stayed in was not just aesthetically pleasing, but it also seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. Each morning, we woke up to the soothing sounds of the ocean and the gentle rustle of leaves, which made for a perfect start to our days. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, providing great recommendations for local dining options, enhancing our overall experience. The on-site amenities, including the pool, deck and beautifully landscaped gardens, added to the serene atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the evenings on our expansive deck, where we could sip cocktails and watch the sunset paint the sky in vibrant hues. The combination of the fresh ocean breeze, the view and the natural ambiance created a magical atmosphere that was hard to leave behind. While it's true that the hotel shows some signs of wear, it adds a certain charm that feels authentic and lived-in. The character of the place, combined with its tranquil setting, made our stay unforgettable. We left feeling rejuvenated and can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise. If you're looking for a tranquil getaway with breathtaking views and a unique lodging experience, Santosha Windy Hill is the perfect choice!

I’m not sure who is writing theses positive reviews for this hotel, but my experience was terrible. The room had a horrible stale odor, as if it hadn’t been aired out in ages. Everything felt extremely outdated, fan didn’t work properly and the towels and sheets were in desperate need of replacement. To make matters worse, there were bugs everywhere, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. The pool area could be set up a 100% better. I strongly recommend updating the photos to accurately reflect the current state of the property, as they are very misleading. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

The hotel had an amazing view! The nature is just breathtaking. The pool was great. Only thing is the rooms. They are in need of upgrade

Great experience!! You’ll be shaky the first/ second day if you’re not familiar with self catering because the room comes with the absolute basics (but do your shopping after you’ve checked in to cover off your list and you’ll be fine). The view when you wake up on mornings is just spectacular, the property is so well kept and quiet you almost feel like you’re on a planet just for you with no distractions. The staff are also very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back within the coming months.

Santosha is beautiful. We stayed in a first floor, one bed apartment. The apartments are huge, clean and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable and the AC was quiet and efficient though we chose not to use it very often as the breeze kept us cool. The view from the whole apartment is breathtakingly beautiful. The pool was a bit too chilly for me but others seemed to find it okay. Xavier was excellent and on hand to answer any questions. The location is fantastic as a base for exploring the fabulous East Coast but is also only 15 mins from Speightstown. We also took the opportunity to visit St Lucy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved it here! Room was big with a balcony with a fantastic view over the rugged coastline. We’ll stocked for cooking. Beautiful part of the island close to many sightseeing spots…. Angel Flower Cove, St Nicholas Abby, Hunte garden Speightstown. ||Highly recommend if you want to see Barbados!||Zavier, hotel manager very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.

This place is unbelievably beautiful. The views are breathtaking.The staff are very courteous and friendly; from room services, to maintenance, to groundstaff, to security, all provide excellent service. On site management 'Xavier' is exceptional. He is pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We were here on retreat. Great for groups, couples, family and business.

We split our Barbados trip, 4 days on the east coast and 4 days on the South. This is the perfect base for the east coast, beautiful unspoilt scenery. The hotel has amazing surroundings and there is very little around. We were room 104 which was dissapointly on the ground floor so we didn't get the balcony views. The room/apartment was very spacious, but dated and ready for a refurb (as was the reception area). I'd say this was the only downside. The pool area is to die for, so peaceful and heavenly. Just to note if you plan to book there is very little around and you will need a car. We hired one from the airport and it was the perfect base for visiting all the attractions.
