Simply a sublime boutique hotel - believe the reviews! As mentioned multiple times, the staff here really set this apart from any other hotel we've stayed at. Very friendly, very helpful - it felt like we were leaving friends behind by the time we were checking out. A very calming and relaxing atmosphere, and the little touches (drinks to the cabanas, sunbeds to the beach, plus the complimentary services) add that extra something to make your stay super special. Never felt crowded around the pool area and the midweek cocktail social is a great idea, but there is no pressure to attend but it's a great way to meet the other guests. Super comfy bed, loved the balcony to sit out on (room 5), look at the water and feed the birds! So relaxing. Thank you Michelle, Myrane, Linda, JR (café Luna), Emma and Sandra (and the rest of the team!) for all of your efforts. Hopefully see you all again soon! Paul & Emma

We had a truly wonderful stay at Little Arches Boutique Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the personalised approach and incredibly warm, helpful staff made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The hotel's rooftop restaurant was a highlight — every meal was delicious and the views were stunning. We also loved how close the hotel is to Miami Beach, which quickly became one of our favourite spots on the island. What made this stay so special was the boutique feel — peaceful, charming, and thoughtfully designed. We were also lucky to visit during the Easter festivities in Oistins, just a short walk away, which added a fun and local vibe to our trip. If we return to Barbados, there’s no question — we’ll stay here again. We can’t recommend this place enough!

The Hotel is fabulous. Very comfortable, made us feel very like we were invited to the family. Nothing is too much trouble, all the staff never stop trying to make it better. My wife and I enjoyed every minute of our stay, made special by the staff and management. Our room no 10 faced onto the garden, very nice outlook. Having a great restaurant (Cafe Luna) on the roof of the hotel was a bonus. Great food and staff.

The hot tub deck outside our room is in desperate need of some upgrade.

We had the best honeymoon we could ask for at little arches. The people and staff really make the place special. Sandra the manager was so welcoming by the end of the trip we felt part of the family! Shout out to all the cleaning staff who were always so friendly and chatty. And Michelle on the front desk was an absolute diamond giving us so many great tips about the island - nothing was too much trouble! We stayed in room 8 with the hot tub which was lovely and we used it so much! Perfect for morning and evening dips we didn’t actually end up using the pool at the hotel at all! Location was great - a short walk to oistins fish market where we ate many times. Great value and delicious local food. Luna cafe was also very nice and again had brilliant staff. Miami Beach was beautiful and just across the road. If you are thinking about staying here I would 100% go for it! Such a unique and special place we can’t wait to return one day

Nothing

Friendly and accommodating staff, relaxing atmosphere, charming decor, attention to detail, and quality finishes, cleanliness, nice pool and comfy beds. The restaurant with its delicious dinner menu, gorgeous terrace seating, and spectacular west facing ocean sunset views. When we asked to change one of our rooms (for personal preference reasons) the hotel manager made every effort to accommodate to ensure we had the best stay possible.

I stayed in one of the Gardenview rooms and my father stayed in one of the Oceanview rooms. The mosquitoes managed to get inside the Gardenview room, despite every effort to keep the door closed. I couldn’t sit or sleep in the room without getting bitten. While not the hotel’s fault, the proximity to the gardens may have meant more exposure. There were no issues with mosquitoes inside Oceanview room #5 which was by the pool area. Aside from the bugs, both rooms were comfortable, beautifully decorated, and clean.

The staff at Little Arches was very professional, kind and super helpful. Our room was exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable, and even though the hotel is small and the room was located in the center of the building, it was still very quiet at night and we slept very well all 5 nights that we stayed there. The lovely women at the front desk answered all of our questions, helped us get beach chairs for a beach adventure we had on the West Coast, and the food at Cafe Luna (the hotel restaurant) was delicious. Shout out to Davron, Mona and Dee-Andra for their fantastic attitudes and welcoming smiles every time we went to eat there.

No complaints.

Having read all the fantastic reviews on Little Arches leading up to our holiday I guess we wondered how anywhere could be that good. But... it really is!. Everything from the lovely clean spacious room, comfy bed, pool area, amazing local beach, superb food at Cafe Luna and, of course, the wonderful staff, made for a truly memorable stay. We loved the fact that there are only 10 rooms, it made for a much more relaxed and informal atmosphere. Sandra and all the team make you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Have already recommended it to family and friends and we really hope to come again.

The room layout was superb, the bed so comfy and the cabanas position excellent for the cooling sea breeze and ocean view. Very helpful staff arranged a brilliant golf day for my husband and all the staff were upbeat and positive providing a home from home. Swimming pool and grounds of hotel were lovely.

Our private plunge pool area was a bit too public for our liking with pedestrians able to look over the wall and not screened enough from the hotel car park.

Exceptional staff, beautiful well appointed rooms which were really clean, really comfortable bed and sleep quality. Ocean front views and beach up the road was lovely. Encourage anyone staying to go for a morning walk along that beautiful stretch.

There aren’t a ton of dining options in the area necessitating expensive taxis if your stay is a little longer and you’ve exhausted the local options.

The staff was exceptional, the hotel charming, and the restaurant delightful. The welcome drink, rum cake, and bottle of rum were a wonderful touch.

A few more vegetarian options would further enhance the dining experience. Additionally, air conditioning in the spa room would be a welcome improvement. While the resort is on the pricier side, the personalized service and unique atmosphere make it a worthwhile investment.
