"The Best Barbados Family Resort"

An Overview Of The Bougainvillea Beach Resort Barbados

The Bougainvillea Beach Resort Barbados is a family resort located on the south coast of the island. This Barbados hotel has merged with what was once known as Sand Acres Hotel.

This is a great hotel to consider staying at if you are looking to take a cheap family vacation in Barbados.

There are numerous fun activities for adults and children and its one of the cheapest and most appraised Barbados family resorts on the south coast of the island.

A great thing about Bougainvillea Beach Resort Barbados is that it is tucked away on Maxwell Beach, a great beach off the main south coast road (Highway 7).

This is only 5 miles from the Barbados airport and will only take you 10 – 15 minutes to get there. You will have to take a Barbados airport taxi but this should only cost about $15-$25 USD which should be agreed upon before the taxi leaves the airport.

Bougainvillea Beach Resort Poolbar Maxwell Beach is a great 400 metre long south coast beach that is much quieter than some of the other more popular south coast beaches (e.g Rockley Beach). This Barbados beach faces the calmer Caribbean Sea and is therefore great for swimming for both adults and children.

The St.Lawrence Gap entertainment district is just a mile away from this hotel. You can drive there in about 5 minutes or walk there along the beach. Walking will take you about 20 minutes. This is quite convenient since the ‘The Gap’ is a major spot for nightlife in Barbados especially on a Thursday night.

There are also many great Barbados restaurants to go to dinner at in St.Lawrence Gap including one of my favourites, The Restaurant At Southsea .

The hotel is very close to the small fishing village Oistins (a 5 minute drive). This means that you will be able to experience the Oistins Fish Fry on Friday nights.

Southern Plaza Shopping Centre is also in Oistins where you can find a Super Centre supermarket. Since all of the rooms at The Bougainvillea Beach Resort come equipped with a kitchen you can easily get groceries here. A First Caribbean Bank and a Texaco and Esso gas station are also located at this plaza.

Bougainvillea Barbados Beach Resort Quayside Shopping Centre, a great strip mall, is a 15 minute drive from the hotel along the south coast main road (Highway 7).

The capital, Bridgetown is about a 20 minute drive from the hotel (along Highway 7). If you haven’t got a Barbados rental car , Bougainvillea Beach Resort Barbados has a complimentary shopping shuttle to Bridgetown which runs Mondays - Saturdays. This is a very convenient and unique Barbados hotel feature which they offer.

If you are a golfer, the nearby Barbados Golf Club offers guest discounts. This golf course is just 1.75 miles away from the resort.

These various locations can be seen on the interactive map below.
