Sea Breeze Beach House

What an amazing isle! Barbados is such a small island but leave you big memories ; At sea breeze we certainly made some of those and I would like to start by mention some of the amazing staff who have definitely helped in making our experience enjoyable and smooth: Janina front desk- from day one she has been very hospitable, she led us to our room and as we were walking she explained the different areas of the resort . One day she covered the kids club - she was very sweet and great with my kids . Carolyn - she only covered the kids club once when we were there and she was fabulous with my children. Josh from the water sport - always making sure clients by the pool are ok with their drinks. He was always ready to clear your drinks when finished and bring you another one if wanted . Thank you Josh!! Captain Jack - very friendly , he took us sailing and showed my kids turtles in the sea for their first time! I’ll always be grateful for it! From the restaurant: Sandra and Kim( restaurant supervisor ), willing to deliver a great customer service , always available whenever we needed. Allison J, Maria ( restaurant manager)Erica (guest experience manager) unfortunately only met them on our last day during the aperitif by the rum shop.They had been very friendly from minute 1, they asked us about our experience and if we had any issues during our stay. We did not have any “issues” during our vacation at Sea Breeze but as already mentioned to some managers when we were there , I would like to give some advices to improve their service : Kids club need to review their activities!! That’s why I can’t give 5 stars - many clients are British so , as a parent , I was expecting my children to spend more time outdoor considering our children spend enough time indoor in the Uk . I thought activities like building sand castles , playing in the pool or games by the amazing sea would have been organised but unfortunately the activities are very limited and all indoor ( slime making , movies , colouring ) - all stuff kids can do even in the Uk. The only day it was well organised was Halloween , children had fun trick or treating around and making spooky biscuits . Breakfast- the buffet always open late , around 7:10/7:15 where you have to queue outside and just standing with your kids while they set up before they open . Once you sit down and you order your coffee ( lattes/cappuccino) you have to wait another good 10/15minutes before they bring you one . If you get a black coffee is fine , but if you fancy a milky drink like lattes you have to wait very long time , so I’d suggest they should have a coffee machine ( as most resorts have ) where you can make your own drink . They do one have one by the reception, but obviously is not located in the dining area. Rather than this … lay back and enjoy the Caribbean!! Thank you Sea Breeze

We stayed here for a week early December. The service throughout our stay was exceptional - I can not understand some reviews saying it was bad!|Staff were great, room was lovely, beach was amazing. The food was so good! Be warned if you are expecting pizza / chips / pasta style buffet every night - it’s not that! You will get a variety of Caribbean dishes, soups and salads. They swap à la carte / buffets across the restaurants and this is managed really well. If you do want pizza and pasta, the flying fish do these style dishes for lunch every day. |My favourite meal was at the beach bbq - Jerk chicken and macaroni pie and lovely potato. I miss it already!|We did go to Oistins on the Friday night using the free shuttle provided by the hotel- but we were underwhelmed. We walked to St Lawrence Gap and did an excursion on Tiami Lunch Cruise. |My only small gripes are that most of the loungers on the beach were broken (I am guessing this is due the windy conditions) and the Christmas music! I know it’s the time of year but personally I’d have preferred reggae / soca / pop - anything but Christmas music! A lot of people go abroad this time of year to avoid Christmas. |Enjoyed meeting Breeze the cat of course! |I can not fault anything about the hotel really - we would return and perhaps stay at the sister hotel next time. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing!

The room itself was one of the better aspects of the stay. It was spacious, clean, and tidy, which was appreciated after a long journey. The bathroom was also well laid out and featured both a monsoon/rainfall shower and a regular shower head attached to a hose, with a cradle positioned low on the wall. Unfortunately, when switching to the monsoon shower, the water pressure dropped to little more than a trickle, making that feature fairly pointless. We arrived at the hotel around 1pm and were allowed to use the facilities until our official check-in time at 4pm, which was a welcome and practical gesture after travelling. The hotel has three restaurants. The buffet restaurant, Mahogany Lounge, was decent, while the à la carte restaurant, The Cerulean, was the least impressive. The menu there leaned heavily towards fish and felt somewhat limited. There was also a dress code requiring men to wear as a minimum requirement, collared shirts and 'dress shorts',and women to dress 'elegantly'. This wasn’t really an issue given the heat. Shorts being allowed was sensible, but the vague definition of 'dress shorts' meant guests interpreted it very loosely, which made the rule feel inconsistent at best. The standout restaurant, in my estimation, was The Terra, which offered the best overall dining experience of the three. Food service was unfortunately hit and miss. I chose to have lunch at the beach-side taco bar and ended up waiting over an hour for the tacos to arrive. When they eventually did, they were cold. I had a similar experience on the patio of the buffet restaurant, with long waits and food that wasn’t served hot. On a more positive note, the staff were generally very willing to help. When issues were raised, and if it was within their control, they were eager to rectify the situation and/or apologise for the service delivery failures, which did help soften some of the frustrations. The hotel is clearly kid-friendly and does, in fact, offer kids’ clubs. One for toddlers and another for older children, which gives parents a bit of much-needed respite. There are also several activities available nearby, including snorkeling, jet-skis, catamaran trips, windsurfing, and golf, which adds to the appeal if you want to explore beyond the hotel. Overall, Sea Breeze Hotel has some definite positives, particularly the rooms, helpful staff, and location. However, inconsistent food quality and slow service mean the experience falls somewhere in the middle rather than standing out.

We have just checked out after 11 nights in an ocean front junior suite at Sea Breeze, having had a fantastic holiday.|The resort is compact, but uses every bit of space brilliantly, with a good variety of restaurants and daytime eating options. |As with many hotels, there are a number of areas for improvement, however the staff we met throughout our stay, enhanced our trip beyond anything we expected.|Jerome at Cerulian was exceptional and an absolute credit to the organisation, as was Le-andre. Their attentiveness, care and friendship was beyond anything we have experienced on our travels. The same can be said for Jerome and Thea. They were equally charming and inspired us with their humour and thoroughly refreshing approach to life and work. |Roger the bartender was a true gentleman and an absolute professional in looking after everyone, as was Marcia - an absolute tonic of fun and warmth.|Maria and her staff at Aqua Terra were also the epitome of fun, warmth and attentiveness. - their food was also excellent (varied and with a menu refresh every 3 days).|Our experience gave us more exposure to the aforementioned members of staff, but we also were lucky to meet Kim (Cerulian/Mahogany), Jaden (beach), Francine and David (beach and pool bar) and guest services worker (tall and easily one of the most energetic members of staff! Great fun)||Sea Breeze and parent group Ocean Hotels - thank you for your hospitality. Please accept my compliments of all of your staff members, mentioned and otherwise. You are very fortunate to have the services of such a rich group of personalities, something that is just as important to guests as the hotel and it’s facilities. We will most definitely be back.

Visited the first week in December for my best friend’s wedding and had a wonderful stay. ||We had a room overlooking the pool and ocean. It was cleaned daily and we had no complaints.||The food is a mixture of buffet and À la carte. We preferred the à la carte restaurants and the food was very good. One night, had the special, which was blackened red snapper. For lunch, we enjoyed going to the tipsy bar for tacos. ||The staff are very friendly and work very hard. Two staff who stood out were Kedijah and Shaquan. ||The grounds are kept immaculate, however quite a few of the sun loungers on the beach were broken and when it rained, the cushion on loungers and seats were soaked the next day.||We were so lucky to witness baby turtles hatching on the beach. ||Thank-you to everyone at The Sea Breeze.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay at Sea Breeze Hotel! The location is perfect — right on a beautiful beach with our room having a fabulous ocean view. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, I would like to single out a few members of staff for making our time there extra special , Jerome one of our waiters , Jamal at the beach, AKA Captain Jack, Gerome and Chester at the pool bar and also a special thanks to Eli Chrisohn who came round with ice lollies every afternoon and would cheer us up with her dancing,with me joining her! The hotel was very relaxing and special. Can’t wait to come back! 🌴💙

NOGO - low end 3 star resort||Let's get this out of the way: The resort LIES and MISREPRESENTS itself. We booked the luxury collection (which is definitely NOT luxury) junior suite. They will try to put you in the second bedroom lockout of a two or three bedroom suite. DO NOT ACCEPT THAT for many reasons, but primarily because the noise from the lockout will drive you crazy as noise insulation is not something this hotel was ever built for. Most of the "good" rooms are in a newish part of the hotel where you will be required to stay up until 11pm almost every night because the noise from the so-called entertainment will not let you sleep. The room itself has decor from 30 years ago and furniture where some panels have been repeatedly super glued or have handles falling off and are still falling apart. So much for "luxury"...||The food? Oh my is it BAD. I saw reviews on here that said it was good. These people must eat food from the garbage can if they think this food is good. Because there are only really two restaurants (again - they LIE on their website), you will be staring at the same menu every other day. After the first day, when your first entree is bad and you order a second and it's bad too, you will be left with only one more choice (chance?) at something good. They will also tell you that several items are not available. Like Sorbets. How do you run out of Sorbet for a whole week??||The staff? I don't know if it's a culture thing, but they all look upset and unfriendly. After a few days we found a few staff members who we could joke with and were friendly to us. Not to others though. I suppose if I worked at this place and had to put up with some of these people and the management, I'd be unhappy too. We were assigned an "Ambassador". Don't ask me what they are supposed to do as they never reached out to us at all. We finally met them when booking a tour and they said "Oh, I am your ambassador". You'd think now that a connection was made they'd explain what that meant or would reach out. Nope. Not even once.||Upon departure we needed to store our luggage. Was any assistance provided - no. When we asked for help we were told, just take your bags over to the luggage storage area. We go there and literally it was a door with a "Luggage Storage" sign on it that you opened and put your luggage in the room. Security? None. Safe? Definitely not. I don't know about you, but I feel that's just unacceptable and what I'd expect from a 1 or 2 star property.||On the positive side, the Ocean view from our balcony was very nice once we got over the broken furniture, mold, and other issues in our room. No hot water for two straight days didn't help. Unlike the folks who were in the older parts of the hotel, where their rooms were literally falling apart, we got lucky I guess. They did have top shelf liquor at some of the bars and, depending on the bartender, had no issues putting a lot in your drink. Perhaps that's why people thought the food was good - they were too drunk to realize how bad it is. The beach is really nice and not too crowded. You could always find a free chair. The pools? Well, they had a good amount of chlorine in them (which is NOT a good thing) and have large chunks of tile missing. Clearly, keeping up the facility is not high on the list. The adult pool is in the older part of the property which means more tiles missing in the pool, the pool deck feeling like it was about to collapse, and general poor upkeep.||This place isn't cheap either. So, save your money, ignore the standard hotel response about being sorry you had a bad experience and they hope you give them another chance, and STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

It was a very nice stay overall, but there a a few areas that need work.||The pools are too cold, especially in the morning. I heard other gusts complain, so I know it's not just me. I feel they should heat the pools if they want to consider their property a true "luxury resort."||The water pressure for the shower was too low and the water really never reaches that warm comfort temperature.||Dinner starts at 6:30 each evening. For those of us with reflux disease, this is not desirable or healthy, and an earlier opening would be most welcome, preferably 5 o'clock.||The evening "entertainment" kept me up at night, so it might be wise to bring ear plugs.||No resort is perfect but these are the particular shortcomings that affected me personally at this hotel. Want to pay tribute to the water sports guys including (but not limited to) Captain Jack, Prince, Josh, and others whose names I unfortunately forgot. As a solo traveler, they made me feel welcome and among friends.
