Set on the southwestern shore of Barbados, the Dover Beach Hotel is a 59-room lower-middle-range hotel with a courtyard pool, small restaurant, and large terrace set over the crashing waves of the Caribbean. The hotel is walking distance to the action of St. Lawrence Gap, the entertainment hub of the island, yet retains a quiet demeanor, far enough away from the nightclub noise. A beautiful stretch of white-sand shoreline is adjacent to the property, but the hotel lacks its own official slice of beachfront. The hotel's rooms are set in colorful two-story buildings overlooking the gardens, pool, and sea but they are basic and in need of updating. Those wanting to stay in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap might enjoy the South Gap Hotel.

This three-pearl hotel with 66 rooms on the south coast of Barbados received a makeover when new owners took over in 2014. The most notable feature here is the hotel's prime location on Dover Beach -- ideal for both sunbathing and swimming -- plus there are two outdoor pools. Modern rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, as well as balconies -- some of which overlook the turquoise sea. Guests can drink and dine at the property’s beachside restaurant and bar, and more options are within walking distance along the touristy St. Lawrence Gap. For slightly higher rates, Yellow Bird Hotel has rooms with kitchenettes and a pool overlooking the ocean.

The all-inclusive, upscale Turtle Beach by Elegant Hotels has a great location on Dover Beach and the St. Lawrence Gap, and is close to entertainment and attractions. The contemporary rooms are a bit basic for this caliber, but all have balconies or patios. The beach is spacious and scenic with palm trees, white sand, and turquoise blue water. Plenty of amenities populate the property, including three on-site restaurants, a spa, fitness center, two pools, a kids' club, and an on-site water sports provider. However, prices are high, especially for the American market. Waves Barbados is a cheaper upscale all-inclusive, but it's located on a different part of the island.
