Little Arches Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

We visited Little Arches at the end of April and from the moment we arrived we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes from Sandra & the team. Our room was beautiful, overlooking the pool. It had everything you could need and was very clean and kept this way during our stay. It was a refreshing change not to have to compete for sunloungers - they were plentiful and available at all times. Sandra ,Emma and the team, including a shout out to the housekeeping staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing break and for exceptional customer service then this is definitely the place for you.Looking forward to a return visit.

This was the perfect place for our honeymoon! So romantic! Everyone at Little Arches was so friendly and accommodating. They provided top notch service We will forever have fond memories of our honeymoon there. The cabanas by the water were comfortable and provided a great place to relax any time of day or night. My husband enjoyed having his cigars out there. We had the suite with private plunge pool which we highly recommend. Cafe Luna was so good and the menu diverse enough that we had several dinners there, in addition to the awesome breakfast which was included in our seven night stay. We hope to go back to Little Arches for our anniversary!

A great little Boutique hotel with comfortable well equipped rooms. Nice and quiet overlooking the sea. Lovely restaurant on the top of it that serves really excellent food. The restaurant is a separate entity but getting a table if staying at the hotel seemed simple enough. The staff at little arches are all amazing and we were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left by all of them. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning ourselves.

Staying at Little Arches was a highlight for our first trip to Barbados. They truly offer a boutique experience -- the hotel is small and romantic. Every room is different. The staff went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay, even upgrading our room and decorating for our birthdays + surprising us with little gifts. They provided useful advice for where to go to find beaches not plagued by sargassum seaweed. If the adjacent Miami Beach isn't in good condition, you can take a 25-minute local bus ($1.75 USD) up the coast to clean, beautiful beaches such as Brownes or Savvy on the Bay. Cafe Luna on the roof is a convenient choice for lunch with a view. Service was impeccable. The dinner menu didn't seem like a good value, but that is subjective. Casper's Beachside at the end of the street is another excellent option. We loved the singing of the cute little tree frogs heard all over the island. I can't imagine why guests would complain about them!

Couldn’t recommend Little Archies highly enough. Sandra, Emma and the team looked after our every need from the start to the finish. From checking the best beaches for the day to booking excursions for us they were excellent. And a first class restaurant upstairs.

Little Arches is the best hotel experience on Barbados. Period. My wife and I have stayed at Little Arches in the past, and to be honest we rarely stay at the same place twice. Barbados and her people are amazing, and Little Arches is an amazing place to stay. The hotel is the perfect size for us. A nice quiet location . The hotel is about a twenty minute taxi ride from the airport. From the moment that you arrive you can literally feel the stresses of life melting away. The staff welcomes you with warm, smiling faces and you almost feel like you are home. Except that there is a beautiful, turquoise beach steps away. The staff really is the soul of this magnificent place. They always seem to be magically in the right place at the right time. We stayed in Room #10. The room is very large and has an outdoor deck with a jacuzzi tub. It was nice to sit outside in the early morning - and at night. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space for our clothes and luggage. The internet worked great. There is cable TV and there is also a room safe. This room also has a separate seating area with a small kitchenette and another TV. The air con worked great. Breakfast was included in our stay. It is upstairs in the Cafe Luna restaurant. The food was great and the portions were perfect. It was a great way to start the day. Breakfast outdoors with a beautiful view of the sea. The beach is a two minute walk down the road. It really is beautiful. I think it’s the best beach on island. Little Arches provides cushioned beach loungers, umbrellas and beach towels. There is plenty of shade on the beach. It has a nice, local vibe to it. After a day at the beach we found it nice to lounge by the hotel pool and have a cocktail or two. The pool is the perfect size to cool off. There is also a large patio where you can sit and doze, or read a good book. The internet worked great out here. It was a fantastic spot to chillax. The hotel can arrange for a car rental if you wish. We had fun driving around the island and striking up a conversation with the extremely friendly Bajan people. We stopped for lunch at The Fish Pot. The hotel is also about a 10 minute walk to the Oistens Fish Fry and a great supermarket. Little Arches is the perfect boutique hotel to get away from it all. Read all the fabulous reviews - they speak for themselves. The hotel is kept spotless and it is very well maintained. Everything that you could need or want for the perfect Barbados holiday is right here and everything at the hotel is First Class. The staff are truly amazing. Friendly, warm and so very kind. They are the real deal. The hotel, the staff, the location - Little Arches is in a class all by itself.

The boutique hotel experience was a welcome change from the busy corporate hotels. The the staff were so attentive and helpful.

Nothing

Had a wonderful time staying here with my mom! The staff was so accommodating and showed wonderful hospitality. Will be back!

Little Arches is such a sweet and special place to stay in Barbados. The staff are exception...they are friendly, thoughtful, and welcoming. The rooms are well appointed with extra touches like bluetooth speakers and turn down chocolates. The restaurant is divine.

My first comment is directed at Trip Advisor. It's time to add a "6th star" rating, exclusively for hotels that deliver, on all fronts, an experience for which "excellent" isn't deserving enough. Little Arches is worthy of that rating! Last month was our 4th visit to Little Arches. We literally count the days until our return each year (337 as of this writing). Each time we plan a longer stay, for all the reasons I will get to. We are hoping to start going twice a year. Once is not enough! I realize that everyone has their own needs to accommodate when deciding where to go on vacation and where to stay. For us, it's simple... 3 boxes to check: where to go, where to stay, where to eat. Four years ago, we won the vacation lottery... Barbados, Little Arches Boutique Hotel, Cafe Luna! Little Arches IS Barbados. Everything about it is in total synch with Barbados' beauty, vibe, and the extraordinarily wonderful people. Once the plane lands at Grantley Airport, our stress level drops dramatically... the airport staff and Barbados customs and immigration agents couldn't be nicer! When we pull up to Little Arches, the ocean is on the left and this incredibly inviting boutique hotel is on the right... and our stress level immediately disappears! After we unpack and walk upstairs to Cafe Luna for a 6-star meal in the most inviting atmosphere that is in total synch with the hotel, with both waves crashing behind us, and our world left behind us...we are at peace... like nowhere else! I'm certain if you read the reviews for Little Arches you will see a common thread... everything this hotel offers is extraordinary! First and foremost, it's absolutely beautiful and charming! The rooms are wonderful and have the "island vacation vibe" that we all want! The beds are so comfortable that the only reason to get out of them is to enjoy Barbados. Don't get me started on the shower. I try not to waste water at home or anywhere I go. But I just can't do it in my Little Arches shower! I accept the shame! For those of us that just can't totally disconnect, wireless and streaming works perfectly! The room staff, like everyone at Little Arches, is like family. They take care of our room as if it was their own home! They give us the warmest welcome when we arrive each time (along with the most incredible tropical punch which jumpstarts our journey to paradise), and the warmest hugs when we leave. Last but not least... the management. I challenge any hotel anywhere to treat their guests in the manner that Emma, Sandra and team do. They are as professional a management team as I've ever seen (and I travel just about every week for 40+ years) They take pride in bringing the best of Barbados to their customers. All needs, from restaurant recommendations to Barbados' incredible tourist spots, beaches, transportation and boat/sailing/water activities are met with such confidence and knowledge of the island that we go wherever they tell us to go!!! On Wed... they have a wonderful cocktail hour for the guests around the pool which is a great opportunity to get to know the team more personally as well as the guests who are experiencing the same joy as we are! Last note... $. Nothing in the hospitality business is more important that the price/value ratio the establishment offers its customers. If you're wondering why the hotel gets the acknowledgement as being a Top-rated Caribbean and worldwide hotel... look no further than the overall experience they offer to their customers at a value no one their league can touch, in our opinion! We'd be remiss if we didn't mention Cafe Luna! Perhaps the best restaurant in Barbados is about 11 steps from every room! The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is soothing and the staff is incredible! Even with the Island's plethora of wonderful restaurants all over Barbados, we still ate 7 of 11 dinners at Cafe Luna! And we feel bad when we go out... but my wife needs her weekly nacho fix! Breakfast and lunch are fabulous... especially on weekends as the brunch menu is wonderful. The "fit" between the hotel and restaurant in every regard is incredible! And... this is mindboggling... the staff in both the hotel and restaurant are all the same people every year!!! We're on a first name basis with everyone! We shed tears when we leave and make the next reservations the moment we get home! Little Arches is always on our calendar! If I missed anything, feel free to reach out. I could go on and on (as you can see), but I assume you get the point! STOP looking elsewhere... Enjoy! Steve and Tracey M (NYC and Atlanta, Ga)
