  Lovely beach

  We had a nice clean spacious room on the 2nd floor with a very pleasant balcony overlooking the pool with views to the beach. The beach was a couple of hundred metres from our room. Note that there are no elevators in the building. The on-site restaurant had a good menu and good quality food. The beach is very lovely - about a 1.5 km walk round trip so tried to do that twice a day. Most days the surf was pleasant and moderate for an adult. A couple of days it was a little higher - not too high to swim but high enough to discourage some. Basically no rocks at all on the beach, just sand and surf.

  Room with a view

  Our fourth visit and always great. Amazing views each room faces the ocean simple rooms but clean and well kept. Terrific beach for long walks but be aware water in ocean is rough and in front of Sandals there is a break front to calm waves. There are no elevators but they do have ground floor rooms. Pool is lovely and restaurant on site is ok

  Great relaxing break

  Excellent week at Bourgainvillea hotel. Beach area fantastic. All staff around the hotel so friendly and helpful. Easy walk into the Gap or taxi / reggae reggae bus for trips to other beaches. Nothing to fault about the week tbh.

  Excellent Low-Key Getaway (one exception)

  Just back from a week at Bougainvillea Resort. This was our first visit to the hotel and felt right at home from checkin on. All front desk staff were pleasant and helpful...special mention to Roslyn and Temar. Room was a one bedroom suite on the ground floor, as requested. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked with pots/pans, coffee maker, toaster if you want to prepare meals. Housekeeping quickly handled a request for a mattress topper. The grounds are well kept, pretty gardens, plenty of shade from trees and umbrellas, and the beach was beautiful. Ample lounge chairs for guests. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed even with a few families with small children staying there. The hotel offers a weekly manager's reception and live music on several evenings. Location requires a car or taxi to Massy's in nearby Oistins if you want to buy groceries, and also to get to restaurants in St. Lawrence Gap. Both are 15 mins. drive from the hotel. One weak link is the hotel restaurant, Calabash, in terms of very slow service. However, since we mostly ate breakfast and lunch in our suite - and ate dinner in St. Lawrence Gap - this was not an issue for us. The restaurant is an improvement area for management, but overall I would happily recommend and return to this hotel.

  Great holiday at a real gem of a hotel

  Arriving at the hotel you’re met with such a friendly atmosphere from the concierge to the reception staff We dumped our bags and headed straight for the pool bar where there was live music playing and great bar staff waiting to serve ice cold beer and cocktails A special shout out to Nathan, Josh and Aaron who made our holiday fun every day The white sands and blue water make this hotel location perfect for a relaxing holiday The rooms were large with a separate sitting room which was a nice surprise The walk up 8 flights of stairs was our least favourite thing A short walk to At Lawerence Gap around 25 minutes where we had some great meals We had a great experience and understand why there are so many people returning year after year
