Although the Rio is in an excellent location St Lawrence Gap, I think they need to upgrade the furniture, towels and bed sheets for the convenience of guests.

Overall a very nice place to stay.Great location, very clean relaxed friendly decent kitchen. However I stayed in room 10 which was an extremely basic room and poor value for $40, I saw room 6 which was very pleasant on my last day and couldnt believe the difference in the rooms for the same price.

When I came there they did not have my booking, but were very helpful with providing me alternative accommodation in the same price range :).

Very friendly & accomodating with the guests! *** They should consider changing the lock on the main entrance door! Way too old & almost impossible to lock-unlock! :) But I had a great experience! :)

Best place to stay on Barbados if you want to meet a lot of people and want to be close to the action. We had a private condo with bathroom and small kitchen, which was definitly worth the extra dollars.. I loved the place and did not like it we had to leave after 3 days..

This is a super little place to stay.. It is very clean, safe and friendly in a great location in the gap, just opposite Dover beach Denis and his wife even threw a new years party for all the guests! I can highly recommend.
