I’ve stayed in Holetown many times and know the area well. The location of this apartment hotel is fantastic. Every room has a great sea view enviable of many of the best 5 star hotels. The rooms are clean, have good air conditioning, a well equipped small kitchen and clean bathroom. The shower is powerfull and hot. They are tired but that is not unusual for Barbados Due to its close proximity to the shops and buss stops you do get some road noise. There are cockerels that roam outside the supermarket across the road so they’re quite vocal too and along with the night frogs it’s not the quietest accommodation in holetown! That’s not a complaint but something to consider. The one thing that was disappointing was how much damage hurricane Beryl has done to this hotels beach. I understand that this is out of their control but the beautiful little beach outside the hotel and Zaccios is so damaged. There are no longer sunbeds on the beach and the pool area is taped off to the beach which is messy and unsightly. This made our holiday very different as we had to go to pay for sunbeds elsewhere and away from the apartment and bar. There is no sign of the decking being repaired and no mention in the welcome letter with any info where you can go instead which for us wasn’t a problem because we know the area There may be an insurance/government issue but I felt the hotel could do more. If you’re a returning customer you’ll have a different experience My 5 stars go to the sea view and location which is the highlight of this hotel

“Lovely week, self catering in glorious Barbados”

As a family of three we spent a lovely week (commencing 2nd of May) staying at Tropical Sunset Beach Apartment Hotel, in Holetown.

As a family of three we spent a lovely week (commencing 2nd of May) staying at Tropical Sunset Beach Apartment Hotel, in Holetown. It is in a wonderful setting, and you can see the beach and the ocean from the rooms, barely a stone's throw away. The staff are pleasant and delightful, and the whole pace is spotless. There is a generously sized fridge and a microwave. The beds are comfy. Across the road is a large supermarket. It is affiliated to Waitrose UK and some of the prices reflect this. A pretty high class aura surrounds the place. Also, five minutes walk away, is the One Love Bar, which has brilliant outdoor karaoke on a Sunday night, with inexpensive drinks galore. So... get your bucket and spade out, and then your song list, and get booked in. You'll enjoy it. PS ... Who on earth is Alice?

“Enjoyable stay here …. Apart from sun-bed hoggers !”

We had a great time here at the Tropical Sunset Beach - we were there off the back of a cruise, so arrived at the hotel before 9:30am . The reception staff were super friendly and welcoming.

We had a great time here at the Tropical Sunset Beach - we were there off the back of a cruise, so arrived at the hotel before 9:30am . The reception staff were super friendly and welcoming. They took care of our luggage so we could go out for the day and explore the area etc . It’s in a superb location - right on the beach front and yet central to all the shops / bars / restaurants of Holetown - fantastic ! Our room was a little dated but had everything we needed - good air-con , good shower , large comfy bed and a kitchenette. Being on the 3 rd floor meant we had great views from our balcony . The only negative was the same people on the ground floor reserving the sun-beds around the pool every day - including one couple who reserved both beds and chairs in the shade - staff were there and did nothing about it ! We loved walking up the beach towards mango bay and used the sun-beds just before Cafe Kalmer - guys there were brilliant and this is where a family of stingrays came into the shallows every morning for a couple of hours too

“Great location but becoming run down”

The main positive is the location. There are bus stops immediately outside, a large supermarket and pharmacy opposite and lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

The main positive is the location. There are bus stops immediately outside, a large supermarket and pharmacy opposite and lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The views from the upper floor rooms are probably the best on this stretch of coast for proximity to the sea and the sun sets immediately in front of the hotel. Other positives are that the beds are huge and really comfy. Shower is amazingly powerful. staff are very friendly and they will change your beach towels for clean ones whenever required. The not so great was the traffic noise from the busy main road but to be honest that made sure we woke up nice and early! The kitchen is not really functional to cook in as there is no worktop. Towards the end of the week there were loungers on the beach which was great. This stretch of beach however is very narrow and by 330pm the tide had come in too far. The main disappointing thing was the pool area and sunbathing deck. I understand that storm beryl ripped away the decking however that was 6 months ago and it still isn't fixed which is an eyesore also means you have to clumber down wobbly steps to get to the beach. I understand that this is the Caribbean and nothing happens fast but all guests over Christmas and new year are paying premium rates so you would think they would try and have the work completed ao sufficient sunbeds could be out for all guests. Instead guests were hogging sunbeds and I suspect putting towels out at night as when I looked out at 530 one morning most beds were reserved with towels and there were no people about. There were stacks of sunbeds and no where to put them. It's such a shame as with some TLC this could be a lovely pool area. Would I return or recommend? No sadly. This place needs some investment
