We really enjoyed our stay at the Rostrevor. We booked a one bedroom island view room and were on the 5th floor. Island view is not ocean view. Our kitchen window faced inland to the island, our balcony faced west. Because we were on the 5th floor, we could see the ocean from the side, and the sunsets, although we didn't take pictures because the top of the hotel next to us was in the way. The point is, if you want ocean view, book accordingly. The one bedroom suite is very spacious with a large balcony that had two separate tables on it. The living room had a pull out couch and two chairs, although we never used the pullout, so can't comment on comfort level. The bedroom is huge with plenty of room to store luggage. King bed was very comfortable, and bedding and towels were of a good quality. You can access balcony from both rooms. Bathroom was large too, shower only in this unit, which was all we wanted. We wanted the kitchen for breakfasts and lunches only. It had a two burner gas cook top, microwave, large fridge and was outfitted for four people. There are two convenience stores within a block of the hotel, and full grocery stores in Worthing, which was a 15 minute walk. Housekeeping was very good, the entire hotel was well looked after. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. There are washers and dryers available for a very nominal fee, and they also provide large beach towels for a nominal, refundable deposit. The pool is not huge, but big enough to paddle around in. The pool and deck overlook the ocean. The Rostrevor also has it's own sliver of beach, which we loved. We alternated between pool and sea. If you wanted a larger stretch of beach, you could walk 7 minutes to Dover Beach, or 15 minutes to Worthing. We just never bothered. There can be sargassum, depending on the wind direction, but many days there was none. We never had a problem getting sun loungers either.

We wanted to be in St. Lawrence Gap. You could walk out the door and choose a different restaurant every night. For that reason, we never ventured to another area to eat. The area is easily walkable and we felt safe due to the sheer number of people. However, it is home to many nightclubs, and they do blast music till 3am most nights of the week. We could hear the music from our room, but it did not interfere with our sleep. This may depend on the location of your room though. Can't say for sure.

Service and attention.

The hotel beach was extremely small, steeply sloping sand and generally rough owing to wind and swell. In calmer conditions bathing is safe and pleasant. Certainly not for children or grown ups with impediments. Swimmiong pool far too small for this size of hotel. Can't imagine the situation when hotel is full.

The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful, and did everything to help make my stay even more pleasant. Excellent views from the balcony of my Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite on the third floor. The location of the hotel in Saint Lawrence Gap is great, a short walking distance to the beautiful Worthing Beach and Dover Beach, which I found much more pleasant than the touristy and run-down Carlisle Bay.

The room is facing the sea on one side, but the street on the other side, where on many nights the music is simply (too) loud. Fortunately the bedroom is facing the seaside, although noise still traveled via the bathroom, which has wooden shutters towards the streetside. Suggestion for the hotel is to create more noise insulation by replacing the bathroom shutters with opague (double) glass.

The location is great. So many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Great atmosphere in St Lawrence Gap. We tried several restaurants and all were good. Very nice Rum bar opposite the hotel. Easy walking distance to Worthing and Dover beaches and close to the main coast road, so easy to use buses to get anywhere else. Nice bar in the hotel, with very friendly staff, especially Verna. Sunset happy hour rum and cokes were great. Swimming pool good size and great location, near the bar and great sea view. It was never very busy. Cute little beach . Easy to find sun beds. Room was quite spacious and very clean. Shower dated but good size. Good cooking facilities. Would definitely go back.

We would have preferred to be on a higher floor rather than ground floor, but this did mean we had easy access to the terrace and pool area.

Everyone we talked to was a repeat guest which tells you a lot of about this lovely beachfront hotel in the St Lawrence Gap. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, and the location was great, with lots of restaurants within walking distance. Although the beach in front is small, it offers lovely crystal turquoise water, perfect to cool off from the hot Bajan sun. Plus, if you would like a larger walkable beach, just walk out the front door and in a few minutes, you're at Dover Beach. We have already booked to go back next year!

It was a week bit noisy late at night due to the bars across the street but we managed well by closing the bathroom door and turning the a/c fan on high.

The location in the gap. Options of nightlife, multiple beaches, restaurants and shopping in walking distance The room was spacious and comfortable. Having a kitchen saved us money. Having laundry facility equipped with supplies for purchase a plus. Our breakfast was included and we were given choices and full sit down service. The chefs on staff are very good. The staff maintained the property well and were all very polite and friendly.

The beach area was small and the water was rough due to the current flow..Have to be a confident swimmer. They do have a swimming pool. Good beaches located in walking distance. Able to rent chairs and umbrellas at a reasonable price.

Reasonably priced by American standards, with a top-notch location, gorgeous view of the ocean, french doors leading to spacious balcony overlooking ocean, ocean/beach easily accessible from room. Very fun location that was walkable to loads of restaurants/bars. Very comfortable bed and efficient AC.

No hot (not even warm) water in shower which wasn't as bad as it sounds given the temps outside were always warm or hot. Toilet plumbing was tired and needed to "rest" for several minutes after each flush. Neither of these were a big deal compared to all the plusses.

The room was nice, the pool area was nice, and there was a little private beach to enjoy. The view from the balcony was excellent. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. The value for the money was also excellent.

There was no air conditioning in the bathroom, with a window high above the shower into the hallway to let out steam, so the bathroom got hot. The restaurant was just ok, and meals we ate at all other restaurants were better. There is a very noisy night club across the street, and booming base kept us up at night (not the hotel's fault).

Stunning sea view from room. We like the small sandy cove which gave access to the sea. Room spacious. Bed very comfortable and fridge was useful. We felt good value for money

The area is quite busy, to get a table at the restaurants nearby reservations often needed however we were there at Feb half term. Other hotel guests were putting towels on the sunbeds early but we never had an issue finding a sun bed. Room and shower was a little dated but it’s not a 5*

The room had a lovely view of the ocean and the nice little beach. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Dinner on the balcony every night!

The room was noisy because of the disco across the road and very poorly fitted door. I would like to have tried the hotel bar but as it closes at 6pm (cocktail hour in my book) I never got the chance to. A few more sun beds would be nice, since I don’t like to get up at 5am when I am on holiday and that’s the only time there were any available.
