Sea Breeze Beach House by Ocean Hotels

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night staycation at the wonderful Seabreeze Beach House. Being unable to travel internationally due to the pandemic, we were looking around for another staycation location as our usual haunt is being used as a quarantine facility. Here’s why I’m glad we chose Seabreeze! First, the beach! The beach at this facility is just simply beautiful and breathtaking...and yes, I’m a Bajan, so I know our beaches. We literally spent hours in the water. The inclusion of the hammocks and trampoline were a nice touch. Additionally, the beach staff made our time there memorable. My son quickly formed an “alliance” with Luke who was extremely accommodating and delivered par excellence service - Luke, you’re a star! Thanks to Kenny for also taking us out sailing and O’Neal for his encouragement and professionalism. The offer of drinks and ice-cream while lounging on the beach are also sweet gestures. Second - the food! The food was consistently delicious and varied. The Sunday night barbecue dinner in the Mahogany Lounge really stands out - it was finger-licking. Breakfast in the Cerulean is recommended. Drinks were always plentiful. Our one complaint was the wait time for meals - although we noticed an improvement in delivery time later on in our stay. We understand that as a result of the pandemic, the switch from buffet meals to completely a la Carte has resulted in a revamp of how things are done and staff having to adapt. Hopefully you’ll get this mastered soon. Third - the room! We booked a junior suite in the block above the Mahogany restaurant. Lovely does not appropriately describe the view. The room was adequate for us (we were hardly there anyway). One complaint - having to make calls to housekeeping for toilet paper and to get the trash removed from our room. We understand the 3 night policy but someone needs to check on these things. Fourth - the staff! Nice, pleasant, warm, welcoming, engaging...at least 85 - 90% of the staff really left a good impression. Ria Austin, Sharon, Francine, Marcia, Maria, Jalisa, Raquel, Rodney (all restaurant staff), whose pleasure it was to ensure all our requests were met (“my pleasure” - the standard response to any request). Marco (Polo) at front desk; Shawn from guest services; the lady from housekeeping who, while having a conversation with us in the elevator, acted on her promise to have fresh towels delivered to our room (so sorry I didn’t get her name)....and all the other staff who enquired if there was anything we wanted while there - a big THANK you! Fifth - COVID protocols in place. At no point in time did I feel that the sacrifices we as a nation made to get this pandemic under control here, were compromised. Temperatures were taken, hand sanitizer stations are strategically placed throughout the property, social distancing was practiced, masks are worn at all times by staff and are worn by guests when in public areas, (obviously not when seated in the restaurants or on the beach). Will we be back - definitely....please have a staycation package again next summer - please! By the way, I’ve recommended so many friends, I think I need a promo code😂 Thanks for the memories!

We a have visited the Sea Breeze many time over the last 15 years. This was a little different because of new protocols in place because of Covid. But none less enjoyable. Before leaving we had to take a Covid Test within 3 days of flying. On arrival things took a just a little longer to process us through immigration and the Ministry of Health. We were given all information what to do if we develop symptoms and a form for us to record our morning and afternoon temperature checks. Our friends were contacted bu the Ministry for Health and had to Whats App them over to them. On arrival at the Hotel it was quite apparent they have done everything possible to reduce contact points. Check in was contact less we had a guided tour and taken to our rooms. We felt very safe at the Sea Breeze. All staff wear masks all the time inside and out, we were required to wear masks when transiting around the property and when visiting bars etc. Everybody seemed to comply and it was no problem just putting a mask on for the few minutes at a time that we had to. Lots of sanitiser around the place and at the entrance to all restaurants. They have a great little app that allows you to see the menus for all the restaurants on your phone. The beach at the Sea Breeze is amazing and is what makes us come back year after year. Kenny and Oneal the water sports guys are first class with nothing too much trouble. We did lots of sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming in the beautiful ocean. There are also some great new hammocks and big floating trampoline in the sea there. The food and drinks are always very good at the Sea Breeze and this time was no different. Every meal was fantastic. We were served drinks on the Beach all day. I really cant recommend this Hotel highly enough, with what the Barbados Government and the hotel have put in place to keep Covid down. I think this makes Barbados one of the safest places in the world to holiday at the moment.
