4 Best Hotels in South Coast, Barbados

A full-service resort in the middle of the busy South Coast, Accra is large, modern, and competitively priced—with a great beach. Most rooms overlook the large cloverleaf pool or the beach, and some of the oceanfront suites have hot tubs on the balconies; six duplex penthouse suites—the priciest accommodations—face the sea. The budget-minded can opt for the less expensive "island view" rooms, which face the street. It's not unusual to witness a local couple getting married here, and the hotel is a popular meeting venue for local businesspeople. That shouldn't interrupt your day lazing on the beach, mingling at the poolside swim-up bar, being pampered at the spa, or dining by the sea at Accra Deck Restaurant or on Asian cuisine at Pacifika Kitchen.

Located along the busy Worthing Main Road along the South Coast, this beachfront all-inclusive resort offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner at two restaurants (dress code in effect). It is located along a turtle nesting area and offers mostly sea views. There are different categories of rooms, including a penthouse that can accommodate up to four people, with a mixture of modern decor and contemporary finishes.

Sophisticated travelers, particularly couples, love this ultramodern adults-only boutique hotel, strategically poised on the beachfront in Hastings. The two-dozen rooms (on four floors) are bright, light, and white—white leather headboards, a white leather sofa bed in each room, and creamy white crushed-bamboo furniture. Every room has a terrace with a stunning ocean view. The air-conditioned oceanfront restaurant has an open kitchen—unlimited meals are included, and the menu changes every three days. The pool deck overlooks a lovely beach and the South Coast Boardwalk, which stretches all the way to Accra Beach—great for long walks or jogging.

You enter the sleek lobby of this cool condo-style hotel, across the street from spectacular Accra Beach, via a footbridge across a double-wide lap pool that runs the length of the property. All studios and one- or two-bedroom suites have a kitchen, a dining area, and a pull-out sofa in the sitting area—making them suitable for parents and a couple of kids. Children 12 and under stay free when in the same room as adults. The on-site Swagg Cocktail Lounge and Bistro serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—indoors or poolside—and the neighborhood is filled with restaurants offering everything from fast food to fine dining.
