Hidden Gem Barbados

I stumbled upon this resort looking for breakfast, and I was quickly seated with smiles from the welcoming staff. The resort is beautiful and has a very tranquil vibe. I was seated next to the pool and was quickly served fresh coffee and opted for the Caribbean breakfast. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and I devoured every last mouthful. Highly recommend! Thank you all.

Thank you Ameena and Ann-Marie for a lovely stay at your Hidden Gem. It was the perfect place from which to explore the South and East of the Island, especially my favourite Woman’s Bay, and come back to a cool, beautiful oasis of calm. Everything was just perfect (especially the omelettes for breakfast! ). Xx.

Aptly named Hidden Gem is a beaut. Guests get the five-star treatment at this luxurious, tucked-away little guesthouse not far from Oistins and yards from the sea. Nothing is too much trouble for co-hosts Anne-Marie and Ameena, who happily go the extra mile to ensure their guests have the best time. Individually themed rooms are styled to perfection, and the beautifully shaded pool is the perfect place to chill. Breakfast here is a treat and if you’re dining in, the king prawn curry is a must. Delicious rum punch is never in short supply! A real find.

This is a very interesting B&B with beautiful unique rooms. Ann-Marie and Ameena are the most gracious hosts and there is nothing that they can't do. When our flight home was cancelled at the last minute they scrambled to accommodate us.
This is much more than a typical B&B. They have a wonderful cook with an extensive menu of meals which were delicious.
It is a 10 minute walk to the Silver Rock Beach for swimming, relaxing, or watching the world class kite surfers.

What a great find! We found this spot on Trip Advisor after our flight was cancelled and our lodging had new guests arriving. Amina welcomed us before noon, then served us a lovely lunch by a spotless pool. Great bar too! On our last day we were able to extend a bit. Her accommodation of our flight schedule was great. She made us her special shrimp curry (not on menu) so we fly out with full stomachs and warm hearts. Just overlook the abundant decorations if your style is more subdued. You will be treated like very welcome family. Great location too tho hard to find at night.

Only spent one night, before take a cruise. We would be happy to spend a lot longer.
The hosts and the services are amazing, not to mention great food.

Oh Hidden Gem!
True to its name, but so much more. Words cannot fully capture the experience of this sanctuary. Thoughtfully and intentionally curated, the minute you walk in, you are transported to a realm of pure zen. Everything literally melts at the door. Our hostess Ann-Marie, an absolute gem, and a remarkable and caring soul. Similarly, Ameena and the staff are attentive, responsive and pure at heart. Hidden Gem is truly a home away from home.
Notwithstanding, you may be in for a surprise with your meals, especially dinner. Careful now! Your meal might completely disappear due in part to your tastebuds being transported to a realm of culinary excellence! In fact, my wife joked that it the Ghost of Voracia, had to have been the culprit, due to the speed with which the food disappeared from the plate!
Sidenote: ask about the bread pudding!
All in all, you will be left in absolute awe. Hidden Gem, all thumbs way up!

We needed a hotel the night before a cruise and looked for something in between the airport and the port. Kudos to my husband for finding this little oasis! It was perfect for us. Small, comfortable and friendly. Beautifully decorated and a great pool. And with a good restaurant. If you want a Holiday Inn experience, don’t go here!

My husband and I choose Hidden Gem as our honeymoon spot. It was suggested to us from one of my husband's friends. Every room had a different theme ours was the Paris room it was filled with pictures and ornaments of Paris, It was beautifully laid out. The service was amazing as well as the food. Will definitely come back for our Anniversary but try a different room for a different experience.

This location was very cute and decorated well! The hosts were nice when we arrived. However, there were a few issues which made our stay difficult and not pleasant. First, there are a ton of rules (no shoes in the house, can't go in the kitchen, etc. ). Second if you happen to leave on the air conditioner in your room and leave for any amount of time, they WILL go in your locked room to turn it off even though you paid for that space and any use of it during that time. Also, during our stay there was EXTREME construction noises ALL DAY making it extremely unbearable to be in our room for any amount of time, causing us to have to leave early due to the growing headache these very loud noises caused. The final issue we encountered was that there is NO hot water. So be prepared to take a cold shower when on this property!

Hidden Gem Barbados is a boutique retreat that truly lives up to its name—offering personalized luxury, authentic local charm, and a serene escape from the bustle of larger resorts.

The Hidden Gem is for sure hidden. A beautiful secluded space for family, friends, or even just individual relaxation. I attended a family reunion here and everything was PERFECT from the atmosphere, to setup, service and the friendliest and helpful of staff. The owner Ann-Marie was attentive and kind as ever, while Ameena was equally as kind and supportive to storing excess materials and positioning stations in the best areas. Not to mention Rudy, Corine and Chris were amazing and helpful with providing great service!
Highly recommend making this the spot to host your next event!

Hidden Gem is a 1000/10 when it comes to service and location. The name of the place truly speaks for itself and the pictures don’t do it any justice. I held my family reunion here and Ann-Marie, Ameena, Rudy, Coreen, and Kris went above and beyond when it came to service. They really exceeded my expectations and made it a memorable moment for my entire family. Please look no further when it comes to holding an event here. Hidden Gem is the place for you!

Tucked away along the coast, this spot truly lives up to its name. Hidden Gem is quietly nestled in a serene location, offering a peaceful escape with an ambience that soothes the soul. The aesthetic is effortlessly charming, thoughtfully designed and visually pleasing from every angle.
We went there for dinner. The host was an absolute delight; warm, welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The drinks? A solid 10/10. Crafted with care and bursting with flavor. And the food? Phenomenal. Every bite was a reminder that this place isn’t just about ambiance. It delivers on taste, too.
If you’re looking for a place that feels like a secret worth sharing, this is it. We'll definitely be back.

We celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday there. We only used the pool area, but it was lovely. The pool was clean. The area was well decorated with more than enough seating, access to a fridge, and a very clean bathroom. Easy to locate and very safe environment. Well recommended.

We just returned from a 6-night stay at Hidden Gem and could not have been any happier with our experience. All of the other positive reviews written here are spot-on. Anne-Marie and Ameena are fabulous hosts; they were so kind and helpful, providing lots of suggestions as to things to do and see, and making arrangements for us (e. G. Half-day taxi tour, rum tasting, dinner reservations). The staff were great, with a special shout-out to Rudy who was so friendly and made the most delicious cocktails :)
Hidden Gem is located almost at the end of a road in a quiet residential area, just a stone's throw from the surf (no beach right at that spot, though). The rooms and the common exterior areas (a beautiful pool, plus a bar and an upstairs patio) are appealing and well maintained. If it's available, we'd recommend the Moroccan Room, as it is immediately adjacent to the upstairs patio. We enjoyed a variety of breakfasts each morning by the poolside, and dinners were a much-appreciated option on those evenings we weren't out doing something.
It's a 5-minute walk from Hidden Gem to the pick-up/drop-off location for the local minibus, which is an easy and inexpensive means to access Bridgetown, Oistins, and beaches off to the west.

Ameena and Ann-Marie to the rescue. After spending one night at an airbnb that was on an extremely busy road, we were fortunate to find Hidden Gem B&B. It was located in a very quiet residential part of Barbados. You can tell both ladies take great pride in the home and making sure it is well taken care of. This is not a fancy hotel but rather someone's home who has lovingly opened it up to strangers to stay in, so if you are looking for a Ritz-Carlton stay this is not the place for you. But if you want a place that is clean, well-maintained, has staff that truly cares about their guests, than look no further.
