Accommodation Review: Sea Breeze Beach House, Christchurch, Barbados

Inspired by the gentle Tradewinds that rustle the beachside palm trees, Sea Breeze Beach House offers a blend of relaxation and luxury. Located on an exquisite Caribbean beach with a stretch of 1,000 feet of soft white sand, this beach house boasts 122 rooms and suites.

The interior decor reflects the surrounding seascape with colors like aquamarine, cobalt blue, and teal. This all-inclusive resort covers meals, snacks, drinks, various activities, and non-motorized water sports. It offers both family-friendly spaces and adult-only serene spots.

The Welcome
As soon as our taxi arrived, a bellman promptly collected our luggage. After completing the registration and enjoying a welcome drink, a receptionist escorted us to our suite.

The Suite
The 44 luxury oceanfront suites feature full-width windows with stunning Caribbean views. The decor includes a large coastal watercolor painting and driftwood furnishings. An extra-wide bed with a driftwood headboard and a sitting area with a sofa and armchair overlooking the sea are among the highlights. The suite is equipped with a 60-inch flat-screen TV, a Keurig coffee maker with Colombian coffee, and even fresh orchids. Drinks from the minibar, refreshed daily free of charge, can be enjoyed in this comfortable setup.

The Bathroom
The bathroom includes toiletries from The White Company, two wash units, and a rainforest shower.

The Facilities
Mahogany Restaurant serves breakfast from 7 am. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy drinks, meals, and snacks. The Rum Shop, styled like a traditional chattel house, begins serving sandwiches and drinks at 10 am. Poolside drinks service is available until the Cerulean Bar closes at 1 am. For a casual beach lunch, head to Tipsy for wraps and kebabs. The Flying Fish offers light fare like fish cakes and salads, while Mahogany provides a lunch buffet. Cerulean is the fine-dining option in the evening, and Aqua Terra, perched over the ocean, includes a sushi menu. The Watersports Team offers equipment and lessons for activities like bodyboarding and snorkeling, with jet skis available for an extra fee. Drift Spa, nestled in a tranquil corner, offers deep tissue and Swedish massages, as well as facials and pedicures. An adults-only pool with two jacuzzis adds to the relaxation.

The Location
Situated on one of Barbados’ best beaches, Sea Breeze Beach House is conveniently located between St Lawrence Gap and Ostins, making it ideal for excursions. Highlights include a trip to St Nicholas Abbey, a historic plantation with a scenic train ride offering views of the Atlantic coast. Other activities include a submarine dive to view the coral reef and a jeep safari around the island.

Other Nice Touches
Live music is featured each evening, with performances rotating between the beachside bandstand, the Cerulean Bar, and the beach. For those with late flights, free late departures are available if the suite isn’t needed, along with luggage storage and showers. Guests can enjoy lunch and drinks until it’s time to leave, effectively giving them an extra half-day of vacation. Notable experiences include afternoon tea in the Cerulean and sunset champagne on the Aqua Terra terrace.

The Cost
A Classic Ocean View Room at Sea Breeze Beach House costs £4,896 for an all-inclusive stay.

The Best Bit
The staff is one of the most standout features. Approachable, cheerful, and engaging, they deliver a touch of Barbados’ personality with every interaction. Guests also have access to a Hotel Ambassador for quickly resolving any issues.

The Final Verdict
Barbados is often described as 166 square miles of smiles, and Sea Breeze Beach House exemplifies this with its friendly and accommodating atmosphere.
