Set in the heart of the south coast, directly opposite a beautiful swimming beach, Southern Surf Beach Hotel is a family-owned mid-range property with 18 self-contained, apartment-style studios, and one huge one-bedroom unit. Affordable rates and prime location are the main highlights. Units aren’t fancy, but they’re spacious and well-equipped, with full gas ranges and balconies. There’s an on-site pool, free Wi-Fi, and free on-site local calls, and loaner cellphones (call credits can be purchased at the front desk). Numerous restaurants and bars are within walking distance of the hotel, including a beachfront tiki bar on the other side of the road. This is a solid option for couples, families, and small groups seeking a self-catering "home base." Another self-contained property travelers could consider is the Coral Mist Beach Hotel, with a location right on the beach.

The 25-unit Ocean Spray Beach Apartments is a relaxed, lower-middle-range property located in a quiet area near the airport and Surfer's Point -- one of the best spots for surfing in Barbados (rentals and lessons available next door). Though it doesn't have a swimming pool or sandy beach, a grassy lawn has loungers adjacent to the rocky coast for stunning ocean views. Most of the pleasant apartments are studios, though they go up to three-bedroom units; all come with patios (most with ocean views), kitchens or kitchenettes, and dining tables. A simple restaurant is available for breakfast and lunch, and occasional themed dinners, otherwise guests can get groceries from a nearby market or drive to more options. It's worth comparing rates with Rostrevor Hotel, which has a pool, beach, and two restaurants, though some rooms are dated.
