Divi Southwinds Beach Resort

Beautiful property that is well maintained. 3 pools, nice beach and very friendly staff. Good restaurant at the resort and within walking distance of many good restaurants in the St. Lawrence Gap. Easy to get to from the airport and most off-site activities will pick you up at the resort. Nice grocery store within walking distance for food and beverages.

Front desk and convenience store staff rated A. Pool staff and restaurant a B. Beach service is NOT up to par. The worst treatment by beach captain who was inattentive, served select people and was rude. I

Terrible experience. Toilet didn't work , bathroom sink leaked, and tap broken, mold around sink filthy vents and air conditioner.

The Divi has clean rooms, great beach access and all the amenities you might need. The property grounds are a bit older but the overall experience is great and much better than some of the four star hotels in the area

Our stay was horrible here. Such a shame that this resort is such a disaster. We stayed here because we always stayed at Divi in Aruba and never had one issue on any stay there -- more than 6 times. Ice maker in freezer broke 2x during stay. Toilet did not work one day. Oven was not working. No pool towels available on Monday and Tuesday. Someone stole food out of our room. The garden pool bathroom was so gross, filthy and full of mold. Cracked tiles at pool and a very dangerous broken and splintered railing. Always had to call or go to front desk for tissues, toilet paper and fresh towels. Kitchen was dirty upon arrival. Filthy cutting board in drawer. No dishwasher so we felt that people used kitchen items and just rinsed them before putting back in cabinets as everything seemed dirty. Internet was in and out throughout the week. I felt like I spent so much of my precious vacation complaining, waiting for maintenance workers to fix things and waiting for fresh towels. Note that we were offered to change rooms but really didn't have the energy or time to pack up everything in the room to move. Moving all of the groceries in the fridge alone would have been such an inconvenience. Will never stay here again and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

My family of 4 stayed at Divi Dec 4-11. We absolutely loved it. We have no complaints. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend others to choose this hotel. Here are some of the highlights that we enjoyed about Divi: Dover beach- Wow. Stunning beach, very quiet as the hotel is situated at the end of the beach…we felt we had a private beach most of the time. Swimming was beautiful. The grounds- immaculate. They do a really nice job keeping everything clean and well maintained. The mini putt was really fun. We played a few rounds everyday. The pickleball and tennis courts looked well maintained… Pools- the main pool is really nice. However the smaller pool at the side of the hotel was a hidden gem! We usually used that pool in the morning and had it all to ourselves. The pool that is Oceanside is also really nice. Staff- didn’t really interact with anyone, but everyone was always friendly. Location- easy walking to restaurants and bars. We also walked to Massys grocery store a few times. Also the hotel is right on the main road for buses and ZR’s if you need to get around. Carlisle bay and Oistens are 10 minutes away. The room- loved having the separate bedroom. The kids were on the pullout couch..didn’t look very comfortable but they are kids in Barbados, they can’t complain! The kitchen was well stocked with all the requirements for light cooking. The coffee maker and filters were definitely appreciated. Overall, we loved it!
