When we first heard of Little Arches, it was noted as a "gem" in the Caribbean. We've come to determine that "Hope Diamond" is a more appropriate characterization! Little Arches IS Barbados! Everything, and we DO mean EVERYTHING about it captures the essence of Barbados, and vice versa. The basics??? Rooms... in total sync with the Island. Fantastic appointments, incredible bed, best shower, TV/internet satisfies our obsessive 21st century needs! Food... As fate would have it, one of the best (actually the best in our opinion) restaurants in all of Barbados is 11 steps from our room! Cafe Luna. On our first trip, after a long journey, we decided to eat at the hotel, and not shlep all over the Island. We walked upstairs, and it was like we landed in Oz! The atmosphere is so warm and cozy, we almost fell asleep at the table. It overlooks the Ocean, and it complements the vibe of the hotel like no other restaurant/hotel I've even seen. The food? Absolutely fantastic... every item on the menu (I think we had everything this trip). Do not hesitate to eat anything.... not just fish. Pork crepes/split pea soup, on and on. All fantastic. And it's not just dinner. Breakfast and lunch/brunch are fantastic! Restaurant Service: It's like family serving you! The serving teams all day couldn't be more caring and accommodating. (Shout out to Mona who makes morning coffee and breakfast a total delight!). Nothing like a cocktail a Cafe Luna as the sun sets. And NOTHING like those who make the drinks! Wish we could bring them home with us!!! Keep cameras handy so you can take pics of the wonderment as they work their craft! (Shout out to Shaq!). On Friday evenings... the entire Island flocks to Oistins for the famous fish fry (as did we on our first trip). Now, We flock (walk 11 steps from our room) to Cafe Luna to listen to some great 70's/80's live music, and dance in front of the bar!!! Save the best review for last? The hotel staff. Let's put it this way. They are unmatched! Talk about making you feel at home! They cater to every need with an extraordinary level of personal and professional attention. They know everything about all things Barbados and can help guide you with any and every need, depending on what it is you want to do... restaurants, beaches, water excursions, sites, tours. They are ALL the loveliest people you'd ever want to meet! When we left this trip to go home... we were all crying!!! (Not something you'd typically experience at the checkout counter at the Hilton!). Confession... our first two trips we sinned... we stayed for 5 days. We repented... this trip we stayed for 10 days! And will never sin again!!! Final note... certainly an important one for travelers. Price/value ratio. Regardless of what type of business one runs... the price/value ratio of what you offer is, in my opinion, the key to gaining repeat business and, consequently, the key to a successful business. The price/value ratio of Little Arches Boutique Hotel is extra
