The Soco Hotel - Adults Only

“Friendly staff, great food and an excellent location.”

I chose the SoCo hotel due to its location, the smaller size of the hotel and the à la carte offering at meal times. A wonderful experience! 😎 Staff All the staff were very helpful from Linda and the front of house team, to Michelle, Shane & Zac who brought the energy to the bar area ensuring your glass was never empty, to Margarita and the restaurant team who worked efficiently at meal times. Location Right at the end of the Richard Haynes boardwalk so you can enjoy the pool, the beach or wander along the boardwalk to take in the stunning views. Food Excellent selection of à la carte options available at breakfast, lunch and dinner which changes regularly. The size of the hotel allows you to regularly interact with other guests and get to know the staff (and vice versa) which makes for a more personable experience.

My fiancé and I had a really nice five night stay at the Soco Hotel. Hotel is conveniently located in Bridgetown and a quick walk, taxi or bus ride to most attractions. With that convenience, it has to be noted that the hotel is located on a busy street, so while in your room you should expect to hear some road noise including the melodic horns from the taxis and busses. Not the biggest deal but worth mentioning. The rear of the hotel is adjacent to the boardwalk, so you can take a nice safe stroll to a few other restaurants and beachside bars etc while taking in a great view of the ocean. Hotel guests appear to be mix of adult travelers from the US, UK & Canada. It did appear that there were a few guests who had stayed here before and were welcomed back warmly by staff, so that definitely says something about guest satisfaction. This is truly a boutique hotel that appeals to a calmer adult crowd. All staff members were extremely pleasant and did whatever was necessary to enhance our stay. The room overlooking the ocean and pool was adequate and cleaned daily. You are provided with a mini-fridge, ironing board, blow dryer etc. The food was a highlight as it was fresh and made to order. It may take a little while to come out, but you're on vacation so just chill and enjoy the island time. There was one covered outdoor bar located poolside. The alcohol offering would be considered "midshelf" and they have the local beer Banks on tap. The bartenders were great including Zack who kept the drinks flowing. Concerning the pool, they should definitely add a few more lounge chairs around the pool as they get claimed early and held onto with towels all day. There is a small beach area down a few steps with some additional lounge chairs. All in all it was a nice stay and we are happy we booked here.

Just returned yet again from the place we call our happy place. We are greeted like friends .. by all the staff . The views from our room are breathtaking and are always spotlessly clean. The food is second to none even surpassing in our opinion some of the top restaurants on the island. We enjoy the small boutique feel of the hotel. Michelle…always a pleasure to hear your bubbly laughter. All the girls who serve in the restaurant and Shane behind the bar who keeps everyone entertained with his music and singing. Thank you once again for a lovely time and see you all later in the year. 😎

“The views and the food are worth it!”

We have just returned from our amazing stay in Barbados! We loved it. We hired a car which made a huge difference, and the hotel offered free parking which was helpful.

We have just returned from our amazing stay in Barbados! We loved it. We hired a car which made a huge difference, and the hotel offered free parking which was helpful. The hotel is on the south of the west coast, which is lively and ideal. We spent a lot of time north of the island because of the seaweed influx that’s taking over the south! The hotel sits right at the end of the boardwalk, so we enjoyed a daily stroll to the coffee bean coffee shop at the other end of the boardwalk most mornings, and after dinner too. The views of the hotel are out of this world. We enjoyed having the patio doors slightly open every night so we could enjoy the sounds of the waves going to sleep and waking up. The biggest stand out to this hotel is the food quality. Every day and night we had sensational food and it really was the biggest highlight. The only downfalls I think were that the hotel did look a bit tired in places. However, whilst we were there they had people come in to paint the corridors which made a difference. We had a wonky ironing board which was hard work but otherwise our room was ok - very comfy bed. Shower was intermittent hot and cold. There was only 6 lots of sunbeds hosting a 24 room hotel which was a little annoying - especially as there is a large sitting area of tables and chairs which are hardly in use - this area could happily accommodate another 6 rooms which would be more helpful. I didn’t see many people make use of the sunbeds on the beach area, but some people were forced to when the pool was busy. The only other thing was some of the staff were not friendly which was a shame, including the management and receptionist’s. It put a bit of a downer on certain days with the rudeness. The other 50% of staff were great though - always a smile on their faces, especially the 2 bar guys. We wanted a late checkout by a couple of hours.. one receptionist (Linda I think, who was nice, said we should be able to have it to 3pm), however the following day the day receptionist said they were not happy to authorise unless we paid another 120usd. It was very hit and miss as to who you get! Overall, a lovely stay - and recommend it to anyone wanting a good hotel, but don’t expect any above and beyond service!
