Can't wait to come back!

We booked the ACV supersaver room (243) and were really impressed with the value for money. The air conditioner worked great and there was no issues with dampness in the room. There could have been more room to hang items, but there was a lot of drawer storage. The room even had a small European style balcony overlooking the Gap, which was a surprise as we expected no balcony or terrace. We had great service from all the staff, enjoyed the chill atmosphere and the low key entertainment, and  [... read more]had no issues getting shade or loungers. There is an issue with Sargassum on Dover beach, but it comes and it goes. We are not big ocean swimmers so it didn't bother us. There are big waves at Dover beach and it's not a gentle area for swimming. There are two pools, one of which is quite small. We got to see sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach, which was amazing. Keep an eye out for them at night! There is a little bit of construction going on at the moment on the walkways, which will likely take the next few months to complete. Work starts around 7:30 am, and depending on where your room is you may be disturbed by the machine used to move the sand and stones around, but we didn't find it too disruptive. The food in the restaurant is really good, but the prices off the property are better (there's a convenience store close by for beer and wine, and several street food locations to eat at). They also have a mini fridge and a kettle in the room. All in all, we would love to come back here. The chill ambiance, the oceanviews, and the location on The Gap make this a great value option.

Average

Rooms are ok size. Bathroom clogged . Face issue of sewrage over flow. Room was smell like shit at that time. I will give them fair rating .************************************************************

Fantastic Vacation

The hotel is very clean and the people are friendly. The resort did clean the seaweed that washed up on the beach. There were no rocks in the water. The nearby reastaurants had good food as well. The pink building and pink towels were cure. It is my favorite colour.

Wonderful location and hotel!

Lovely hotel with comfortable bed, pillows, and linens. Clean and quiet with two warm pools, a fun little mini golf course, and shuffleboard. The beach area was kept clean. A nice bonus was complimentary icy lemon water at the pool and afternoon coffee and tea with muffins in the afternoon. Super friendly staff! The food was good, but expensive. Walking distance to mini mart, bus, and local bars and restaurants. We look forward to visiting Southern Palms again.

Love This Resort

This was my first time staying at Southern Palms.I find the staff to be very friendly. The location is awesome, in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap , very lively. The pool and the grounds were well maintained. Happy hour was a hit , two for one drinks . A beautiful resort , would definitely stay there again .

Never received refund of deposit and no one replied to my email

Room is tooooo outdated. Needs renovation. Service is not good. It’s been 10 days, still haven’t received my deposit refund, emailed customer service, never got any response. Nice beach. Food was ok.

Good resort

Hotel is in a good location in St. Lawrence Gap - on a great beach near to many restaurants. There is one restaurant at the hotel and live music and dancing 3 nights per week, plus steel band at Sunday brunch. Monday was rock-a-billy western, Thursday steel band and Saturday band with 2 so-so vocalists. Steel band was the best. Buffet night on Saturday was great, but not so much the Caribbean on Monday. Service at restaurant/bar could be very slow at lunch. Breakfast buffets were good. St [... read more]aff were sometimes not very friendly, but generally helpful. Mostly an older crowd, mostly from UK. Tea every day at 4pm! Only shade at beach was from a few trees - unless you rented a nearby umbrella, but beach was lovely and not crowded. No coffee maker in room if not upgraded to Ocean Suite and no coffee until breakfast opened at 7:30 am.
