Gun Hill Hotel Guide - Lion of Gun Hill hotels in Gun Hill, Barbados.

"Very nice resort overall, great spot, nice beach. Restaurant was good overall."

"This wellness sanctuary was exactly what I needed. From the birdsong to the rain pouring down in the evening, everything about this place invites you to slow down and breathe. The plantation-style setting is quaint, grounding, and deeply peaceful—surrounded by nature in a way that feels authentic and intentional. I spent the evening resting on the hammock as the rain fell, then moved to the upper deck to read, reflect, and write. As a writer, I really appreciated how inspiring and calming the space is—it naturally encourages creativity and presence. The simplicity of the accommodations is part of the beauty; it relies on nature and the essentials rather than excess, and it feels far more nourishing than an overpriced, overly curated hotel. One moment in particular will stay with me forever: while I was reading and recording a poem I was working on, right at a tender line about love, the on-site dog wandered over and sweetly started licking my face—completely unprompted. It was such a pure, unexpected moment of connection that my heart just melted. I felt so much love in that moment, and it perfectly captured the spirit of this place. Adding to the magic, I’m celebrating my birthday this weekend, and the sanctuary happened to be setting up for a party—creating a beautiful, celebratory energy that felt like the universe saying, “We already set the table for you.” My only regret is booking just one night. I absolutely wish I had stayed longer and would return in a heartbeat. "

"The room was in excellent condition and the host was very accommodating,"

"The hosts were very friendly from the time of first contact at booking through the entire rental period. Alvon and Sandy were very attentive to our needs, requests and questions; Alvon even checked with us online at least once a week to see how we were getting on, and at one point even brought us a gift of some local fresh seafood! (We enjoyed it very much.) The house was very clean, nicely appointed and furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay -- including 3-1/2 bathrooms, which is very important for travelling seniors! The location was near a large mall for shopping/food needs, and not far from several smaller local markets, including a fruit & veggie vendor on the sidewalk at the turn-off to the house.Several lovely beaches & snorkeling, restaurants & cafes within a short drive from the house.All in all, the most enjoyable and comfortable experience in a rental home that we have had in over 25 years of international travel."
