Tropical Sunset Beach Apartment Hotel

Fabulous location These self catering apartments are in a great location with a Massy stores opposite and on the bus route. There was quite a swell for the 12 days I was there and the red flag was up on one day when it was particularly rough but was fine for swimming otherwise and is roped off and safe from jet skis and other craft. There is less sand on the beach directly outside due to the storm last year but a line of sunbeds and umbrellas are put out every morning and there was always one free every time I wanted one…however the sunbeds by the pool (no umbrellas) were reserved by guests placing their towels starting from before 6am. The deck area has not yet been rebuilt since the storm. I’ve stayed here several times over the last few years and the location, comparative calmness of the sea and value for money on this part of the west coast is unbeatable. A 3-star hotel in a 5-star location

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday at tropical sunset. Absolutely wonderful location basic but lovely clean comfortable rooms. All restaurants and bars a stones throw away. Staff very friendly and special thanks to wonderful curly. We cannot wait to return!!

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

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

Tropical Sunset Stayed for almost 2 weeks and room cleaned every day, staff friendly and helpful, view was amazing and will be booking again. Zaccios next door is a bonus as well.

Despite Hurricane Beryl having an adverse effect on apartments and beach the teams at Zaccios and Tropical Sunset pulled out all the stops to get everything up and running. Absolutely fabulous location but mostly it's the wonderful staff at Tropical Sunset that made our stay so amazing. The best service we have ever received innBarbados! Special mention to Curly who always does what he can to ensure guests can enjoy the beach and sunbeds! Especially sorting beds on the beach for Christmas Day. Unfussy but clean rooms with the most fantastic sea and Sunset views. Thankyou Tropical Sunset for making our stay so wonderful. Jacqui and Chris
