The architecture suggests the Amalfi coast, but the warmth of the staff, the prettiness of the beach and the potency of the rum punch confirms that this is the old-fashioned Caribbean at its very best." |

Tablet Hotels: "Little Arches is something rare in today's Caribbean — this tiny family-owned boutique feels at once exclusive and down-home, remote and insular yet at piece with its surroundings. Something of a contradiction, to be sure, but that's part of the appeal. The rooftop pool deck alone is worth the price of admission, and the Café Luna restaurant offers al fresco dining of a caliber far higher than the average Caribbean hotel experience...you'll never think of going to one of the all-inclusive megaresorts again."

New York Post (US): "the three-story boutique Little Arches Hotel is an unbeatable setting for lunch. Its restaurant, Café Luna, churns out good salads like the flaky, grilled amberjack with goat cheese which worked surprisingly well, and pan-fried shrimp cakes. But the time to go is Saturday night in the winter, otherwise known as lobster night... "

Daily Express (UK): "Little Arches is the perfect escape for those who don't fancy the glitz of Barbados' West Coast, this laid back hotel used to be a private villa. With Italianate tiles and terracotta, billowing white curtains, classy furnishings and a rooftop terrace restaurant, it has just 10 rooms and overlooks the extraordinarily blue waters of Miami (Enterprise) Beach. The nightlife is just down the road (4 miles) but the Canadian restaurant owner is also the chef, so staying in means stylish food with views. Order a Margarita and think how lucky you are."

The Sunday Express (UK): ‘Get a taste of Paradise with Tiger Woods’ "Little Arches is good value but classy too, it relies on personal touches to keep rivals at bay. Wrought iron four-posters in higgledy-piggledy rooms, groovy Bajan Earthworks pottery basins in the bathrooms and double hammocks and cool face towels on the designer pooldeck add to the poundstretcher pampering." |
