Its an ok resort, no frills, if you are looking for luxury this is not the place for you. For the most part I enjoyed my stay here.
Close to Oistins Fish market, and a grocery store(15 min walk - be carefull side walk does disapear)
mini bus stop right out side resort
Some of the bar and restaraunt staff are not the greatest (even if you tip) there are a couple that are very helpfull and Friendly.
You have beach on either side of the resort to use stair access on either side as well (no beach directly in front of resort)
A must stop for a meal is Villa Marie Across the street awesome fish and bread salad Marie is a wonderful woman and is the magician with the ingredients acording the young guy she had working there, Maries son Nick bartends and is an interesting guy and you will have a interesting conversation with him. Another one you dont want to miss is Charlies across the street, he is an ex Brit and quite a guy. Food is good, some interesting art work and other items decorate the place.
The people of Barbados are really friendly
Go to the Boat Yard Beach Bar and Restaurant, you pay to get in and includes chair and umbrella rental and admission (Make sure to keep reciept) is also credit towards a meal. Great beach, Swim with turttles, see the ship wreck(guy wth the blue boat $25 for the two of us)
Crane Beach is incredible we parked and took the path across the rocks, you come around the corner and WOW, what an amazing beach.
Saand
Bathsheba Beach is nice as well, a little rougher. The beach has brown sand that looks like powdered hot chocolate was poured all over the beach. Surfing beach and cool rock formations.
All Bus stops have female names
Its a HOLIDAY so enjoy and dont sweat the small stuff.

Butterfly beach was a nice simple hotel to stay at. I stayed there in early December 2011 and this was my first trip to Barbados. You get what you pay for at this hotel. Its adequate and clean.

Our room was nice and simple. There was a little kitchenette with accompanying cookware and utensils, enough for two people. I had to ask the maid for dish-washing liquid and later a cleaning sponge but she brought it to me later on. The front desk staff were really nice, courteous and helpful. My fiance got really sick the moment we landed and we needed a doctor. The front desk staff tried very hard to get a doctor to come to the hotel as he was in a lot of pain and it was difficult to move, much less sit in a doctor's waiting room for any period of time. They tried but no doctor was willing to come. I was still grateful for their efforts. One young lady on staff who was leaving for the night was kind enough to get me a soda from the staff vending machine before she left even though she was tired and wanted to get home. I was impressed with how nice a gesture that was.

I was happy with the room, it was clean and decent enough for our stay. The only complaint I have about the room was the drapes and matching bedspread which were a bit too bright and colourful for me but that's just my opinion.

The bar and restaurant was a nice place to hang out in the evenings. They regularly have happy hour and a manager's party once a week. The staff at the bar were unfriendly and I avoided interacting with them. I ordered food one evening to take to my fiance who was stuck in the room and to my shock I was told I'd need to return the dishes to the bar myself which of course I absolutely had no intention of doing. So I called the front desk to have the dishes taken away. I had to call a few times but they eventually came. The price of the food wasn't too bad either. I notice other reviews mention breakfast and buffet dinners, I saw none of that or no one informed me that I was entitled to that or that it existed.

The lock on our room door was a bit glitchy as noticed I had to change the room key at least twice. However once I called the front desk they were glad to help and the maintenance guy came later that day.

The hotel is near to St. Lawrence Gap where all the night life is and also a 10 minute walk to a supermarket where you can get different things you may need. There are two beautiful beaches on either side of the hotel which are easily accessible and never crowded.

From my room I was able to hear the traffic sounds of the street outside even with the air-conditioning on, however after a while you get used to it and you won't even notice it. You also hear some of the movement of nearby guests and doors opening and closing especially at night. It didn't really bother me much other than when I was trying to sleep.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and my trip to Barbados. The hotel was nice for what I paid for the room and other than the bar staff the service was very good. I would recommend this hotel and intend to return again this year.

Cheers

It was our second trip to Barbados, and I can honestly say, the island is still one of our favorite among other Caribbean islands we have been to. We stayed at the Butterfly Beach hotel for 7 days, first week of November 2011. The location was good, it’s approximately 15 min from/to the airport (US $30), 10 min taxi ride to St. Lawrence Gap where shopping and dining area is located (US $5 by taxi). The hotel itself is very clean, but needs some renovation, hotel staff is very polite and do their best to keep their guests happy. Can’t say the same about the only restaurant on the premises, the waiters and barmen had “don’t care attitude”, the food was bad and pricey, their menu was very limited, and that was a reason why we had to go out for lunch and dinner every day. Check-in was fast, we got a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the island with some partial sea view, but were very surprised to find out that the window had no glass, it had build- in blinds, needless to say, even though AC worked well, there was no difference in temperature between outside and inside. Moreover, next morning we were awakened around 5 am by noisy birds, chirping on the nearby trees. We had to go down stairs and ask to change our room. The hotel manager was very attentive to our needs and gave us 1 bedroom suite on a top floor! She also welcomed and congratulated us on behalf of the Butterfly Beach hotel with a bottle of champagne (we celebrated our wedding anniversary that day). It was very nice. We liked the room, since there were 2 rooms, including living room, kitchenette and a big balcony, our bedroom where the AC unit located, was always cool and quiet. Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby and restaurant area.
Pool: was nice and clean, although we didn’t spend any time there, but there were many people with kids, who seemed to be happy.
Beach: we both prefer to stay at the beach when we go to the islands. Besides, Barbados is famous with its beautiful pristine white sandy beaches and warm turquoise waters! Unfortunately, I was very disappointed this time. There were two beaches on both sides of the hotel: one on the left doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned (it can barely fit 2 people, no kidding). The other beach on a right hand side was a bit bigger; there were exactly 8 sun beds for those who get to the beach first. The beach was wonderful though, but there was another nearby hotel “Sea breeze” and we were not allowed to cross the line and stay at their territory. So, basically, we spent time on that tiny beach.
Entertainment and food: the hotel was very quiet, there was nothing going on during the day or night. If you want to have a good time, take a taxi to St. Lawrence Gap, where you can have a nice dinner, walk around, also during the day there were small craft shops open. We would recommend “Champers”, had a great dinner there, food was excellent, service was outstanding, a very upscale restaurant. Besides, there is Southern Palms beach hotel restaurant (located directly on the beautiful beach) has a lot to offer for lunch (we had fly fish twice there!). There is a nice cafe called “Surfer’s” in Oistins , they serve great lunch too . One big event you wouldn’t want to miss while in Barbados is Oistins’ Fish Fry on Friday night. The whole island talks about that event during the week, so we decided to check it out and were impressed by fresh cooked seafood, dancing and local crafts. Great times!
Sightseeing: We booked 3 tours while in Barbados. Deborah (excursion organizer, also gift shop sale assistant) was very nice, funny and knowledgeable. The first tour we booked was “Cool Running’s” catamaran sailing cruise, where we had the best time ever! The crew was great and funny, they entertained us the whole trip by playing music, serving drinks, lunch and cake. We swam with the turtles, did some snorkeling and had a stop for lunch in a quiet lagoon on a west coast. Everybody on board had a good time! The second tour was “Harbor Lights”, can’t say we were impressed, nothing special, the show was so-so, food and drinks were ok. We went there just to keep ourselves busy, since there was nothing else to do. Deborah told us that we wouldn’t like it much, since we already went to see a show “Roots and Rhythms” during our first visit to Barbados. She said that the “Roots and Rhythms” was the best on the island and the “Harbor Lights” was not that great. Anyway, it was ok (my personal advice: ladies, don’t wear high heels to the show, you’ll be stack in sand). The third excursion we booked was a private island tour; we had a driver who took us to the south-east coast, told us stories, showed great historical places, he even was kind enough to take pictures of us. Loved the tour! Since it was our second trip to Barbados we went to the south part, because during our first visit we covered west, north and east part of the island (which was fantastic, the north point and cherry hill are must see!). Don’t forget to visit Bridgetown. We had a lovely afternoon wondering around, walking along the streets.
Overall, Barbados is beautiful, safe and lively. Don’t stay at the hotel, explore the island and have a good time! I’m sure, we will be back one day, but next time, I know exactly where we will be staying- St. Lawrence Gap!:)

BB is very good value for money as far as location and the decor and amenities of the room are concerned. Its minimilist,clean and comfortable and everything works pretty much as it should. The newer sea facing block is now a few years old and is showing signs of wear and tear in the bathrooms and kitchen particularly.
We didnt eat there but perused the menu a few times and never felt the desire to - if you are a foodie in any way then judging from what we saw, I think perhaps the food here is very average.
We last stayed here 4 years ago and what disappointed me this time was the seeming lack of 'policy' upheld by the hotel for guest behaviour - a few women had 'local friends' shall we say, keeping them company in the hotel all day. Also many guests seemed to be excessive drinkers and loud with it; as we are early to bed and early risers I was disturbed quite often by the behaviour of my fellow hotel guests and I suppose my only solution is stay somewhere more 'exclusive' next time.
The bottom line is - you get what you pay for!
