It was my 5th time that I stayed at this property. I like it since it is much cheaper than other property in Barbados. The only minor thing I disliked this time was the cleanliness of my toilet seat which contained some permanent yellow stains - I didn't like it and would therefore suggest they should replace it.

Property was surely not worth the rate. There were no amenities, no handle towels, iron, hairdryer, no phone to contact reception if needed. The building was unkept and had cockroaches. There were no places for food or to dine in close proximity.

The property could do away with the dated kitchen and bathroom as it takes away the expected excitement of a beach resort. The location is splendid for those who prefer the quieter space and it worked well for us. Easy access to local transport, shops but no eatery. The locals are helpful but they won’t offer until to ask.

Mariam at the reception was very nice to show the apartment. The property was clean and had no insects. One thing the property should work on is the internet connection since in one of the rooms the connection was not strong.

The reason to visit here is because of the view, waves and trade winds. We loved the crashing of the waves. Overall it was a good stay. They did not have wash cloths. Bring your own. Also, they need more soap. Somewhat dated. Breakfast was good.

3 star hotel norms should be maintained properly. We found cleanliness issues in room. There’s no mat, napkins in the room. Bees are flying in the apartment’s cafeteria. Room cleaning service is not daily. Good things are surroundings is amazing and safe. No Transportation problem though distance is very far from most of the tourist attractions.

Ensure you come in with food and water. There are no ammenities on compound or nearby. Stayed over for my connecting flight and had to spend the night without drink. The rooms are fairly old-fashioned and need rennovation. Front-desk is friendly, and property is surrounded by a large wall. Not sure how safe surrounding environment is, but it feels isolated from the rest of the community.

I stayed at this property for two nights and three days. I stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a queen size bed and a garden view. Upon arrival at this property, I was surprised to see how dated it looked. The pictures on the Internet looked a little bit more vibrant than what I saw in person. Due to certain flight delays, I managed to get on an earlier flight to Barbados; therefore, I arrived much earlier than the check in time. Rochelle was at the front desk when I arrived and graciously allowed an early check in (1.5 hrs early). I was very happy about this as it was a laboring travel experience, and I was ready to get a shower and relax a bit before an event. Rochelle was friendly and professional. She answered our questions. She let us know that we can reach out at any time if we had any other questions or concerns, and she escorted us to the location of our room. The apartments are not bad and served their purpose but they are pretty dated and do not include some of the standard items you would expect in a regular hotel. The room had towels but no washcloths. There was a kitchenette with a stove and refrigerator but no microwave. There are also no phones in the room. There is an okay view from the balcony. It is called a garden view. You can also see the ocean in the distance. As already mentioned, my overall stay was good as this property served its purpose; however, some renovations are needed to bring it up to par to standard accommodations.

Gorgeous views. However, the sheets were stained and I just didn’t feel clean. I slept in my clothes. Also, there is no warm or hot water which sucks when you want to wash away the days troubles. I loved the doors to the patio, however French doors would be more stunning. Lastly, because there isn’t much around as far as food is concerned so a little shop, convenient store, or something would be nice.

Friendly staff, great restaurant about a block away. OK place to stay if you don't need a pool, but very hot and humid in Barbados! Fine if you need an inexpensive place to stay. No refunds after booking, so if you may need to cancel it is a gamble!

Hidden Gem
Ocean Spray Apartments are the very essence of a hidden gem! The room was very clean and comfortable, and gave us the closest balcony view of the ocean we’d ever seen on land. The manager, Sharon, was very friendly and helpful, as was the rest of the staff. Breakfast in the cafe was delicious and an excellent value. There was plenty of comfortable seating in both sunny and shady locations, and the ocean breezes can’t be beat. We can’t say enough positive things about Ocean Spray Apartments. 10 out of 10!!

Avoid at all costs. The hotel was grossly misrepresented and misleadingly advertised on Expedia’s website. Upon arrival it was clear that our room was nowhere near the standard of those advertised. That state of the room was frankly shocking. There was no suitable lighting in our apartment, which resulted in my partner and I having to get ready for our evening meal in near total darkness. There were no working plug sockets in the bathroom and none, incredibly, in the kitchen (with the exception of the plug to which the refrigerator was connected) which meant we had to connect basic amenities such as the toaster and kettle on the living room floor. The air conditioning did not work in one of the rooms, a room which conveniently had a huge fan situated within which insinuates to me the management of the property knew there was an existing issue. The microwave did was completely broken. Overall the apartment was disgustingly dirty with questionable white stains on the living room sofa. The bathroom and kitchen were grimy and made for uncomfortable living. We stayed one night before complaining to the front desk of our experience. The staff were unhelpful to say the least and unintelligible to put it mildly. When we showed the manager Rosha the pictures of the hotel that were used to advertise, she stated that the pictures were of one of their best rooms and, therefore, not be representative of the hotel. The maintenance Manager Ravi was unintelligible and aggressive.

Dear Sean , We thank you for choosing Ocean Spray Apartments .However, your review is very ambiguous and full of deceptive information .Despite the full aggressive manner in which Ms.Alves came to the front desk the day after check in , we listened to your concerns and addressed them , this included both our maintenance staff and manager coming to the room after you finally allowed it and showing you both that the microwave and AC does work, we also showed you where the plug outlets in the kitchen were located .It was very unfortunate that despite having all your concerns addressed , you continued to be very aggressive while verbally abusing our staff members to the point where the local police authority had to be called .

Great stay
We had a great stay. Near the airport. A shop and bar is a 2 min walk away, which is great. Breakfast at the cafe on site was amazing. Our only complaint was the water in the shower wasn't always hot, depending on the time of day, but that was pretty minor. Staff were very friendly, and the ocean view and breeze was incredible.
