The Soco Hotel - Adults Only

“Ready to book our 4th visit and only back 3 days”

3rd visit to this small all-inclusive hotel and it did not disappoint after an 8-year hiatus for 14 nights! Located at the very end of the boardwalk, it is the perfect location.

3rd visit to this small all-inclusive hotel and it did not disappoint after an 8-year hiatus for 14 nights! Located at the very end of the boardwalk, it is the perfect location. Sunsets are phenomenal with all rooms having a stunning sea view. Greeted like old friends by Michelle and the team. The staff go above and beyond for all guests, everyone knows your names, your likes and dislikes very quickly and especially your drink orders. Chose this hotel due to All Inclusive being A La Carte originally, menu changes every 2 days for lunch and dinner, cooked to order and every meal was delicious, although on occasions too much food! Silver service is alive and well at this hotel and is done with grace and smiles, nothing is too much trouble. We celebrated our birthdays whilst there and the extras of balloons and cards in our room when we arrived and a champagne breakfast on the terrace were perfect. Trudy in housekeeping, what a bundle of fun and joy she is. Tomeka & Zack bar staff with great taste in music and knowledge in all things cocktails and also making up new ones to suit - who knew you could have a Russian Donkey :) and a new one on me a Miami Vice. Michelle's rum tasting on a Wednesday morning (I don't even like rum) but so much fun and laughter. Michelle is a legend, always there to help, book, order and disperse her extensive knowledge and phone contacts to ensure you get everything you need. WIFI, was a little off kilter while we were there, fine in the bedrooms, but more spotty by the pool. This actually worked for me and provided a good phone detox. Beds are beyond comfortable. Rooms are just a little tired, but add to the shabby chic of this wonderful hotel. No lift, for the floors, but always a willing chap there to help with delivery and collection of the suitcases. On the Main road, so expect some level of noise. Ready to book the next visit. Thank you to everyone at the hotel that made our stay so magical.

“A lesson in how to do hospitality”

I think we knew from our check in experience with Sofia that we had made a good choice. The airport transfer was easy, the room was fab, views from all rooms really, very comfortable, good sleep quality, keep your doors shut and a/c will do a good job whilst not being noisy. The staff - in all area… lisää

I think we knew from our check in experience with Sofia that we had made a good choice. The airport transfer was easy, the room was fab, views from all rooms really, very comfortable, good sleep quality, keep your doors shut and a/c will do a good job whilst not being noisy. The staff - in all areas and this I think is what makes this place, yes the food is terrific, sometimes a little slow mind you but always good, they try hard and it shows and is a credit to the management and people. There are staff ' stars ' everywhere from Trudy in the cleaning to Tomeka, Zach and Michelle at the bar area, Michelles Wednesdays rum tasting is the stuff of legend - not to be missed. Never mind rerding more reviews, just book it, you will be delighted with your genuine island hospitality and staff engagements.

What a fab week we had staying here to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. The hotel was great, the food was amazing! But the best thing of all was the staff , they make this place so special, nothing was too much trouble. A shout out to Michelle, zach and Tomeka on the bar( we spent alot of time here lol)please try Michelle's rum tasting session , not to be missed. All staff were great, sorry too many names to remember but you were all fantastic. Only downside and its very minor was the shower wasn't very powerful in our in room. It's also not a typical all-inclusive, the meals were a la carter, so food was cooked fresh for you and not stuck out in a buffet. I am very finicky when it comes to food but here it was so good. Thank you

Just got back from a week in Barbados- we had a great time and loved celebrating my birthday there! First and foremost, recommend the TravelPass service at BGI. We carried out luggage on - and with this, easily saved 2 hrs at the airport! We spent 4 nights at Sugar Bay and 3 nights at SoCo. All in All, enjoyed both places but they were very different. Positives - adults only, boutique and small but comfortable (30 rooms). Great place to wind down before going home. A little more upscale. Better service, all rooms are oceanfront. Can't beat the views! You got to talk to everyone at the resort. Staff was very friendly. Nice boardwalk with access to some restaurants, bars and shops. Great rum tasting with Michelle on Weds at 10:30am (includes island history and light bites). Very comfy beds! Staff mentions - Michelle and Zack at the bar. DR staff - Samantha, Doncia and Ayesha. Trudy with housekeeping. Negatives - booked a Deluxe room but did not honor it nor refunded the difference bc I bought it with TravelZoo. The Front Desk didn't own up to it - had to ask and ask again and they finally admitted they didn't have it available. Despite the rocky start, we still ended up enjoying the hotel. Other Negatives- open bar selections were not premium and were also limited, they did not have espresso, did not have artificial sweetener and limited seating at the pool (12 lounge chairs; did have beach lounge chairs but beach was just ok). Dining menus were a bit limited too but generally ok. Last but not least, the Front Desk did not offer BBD change at all (not foreign exchange, which i knew but the ability to exchange larger BBD for smaller BBD). Despite these, we still enjoyed it very much and met some nice people. Harrisons Cave and Champers was great! If from the US, dont recommend renting a car. In addition to remembering to drive on the left, roads are very narrow and not in the best shape. Hope this helps!
