Situated right where all the action is, at the west end of St Lawrence Gap, Yellow Bird is a great place to stay if you are looking for spacious accommodation of a good standard, with self catering as well as a restaurant conveniently located in the building.

I was impressed with the size of the room, and the great views of the sea. The kitchen was all you need for a holiday, plus the food in the Flying Fish restaurant downstairs was a great option too.

Yellow Bird is within walking distance of all that's going on in St Lawrence Gap. I also walked the other way (towards the west cost) and found plenty of other shops and other amenities. Although I didn't catch the bus, it would have been really easy to do so. I did go to Oistins fish fry, which was only about 10 minutes away by taxi.

The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. They made my stay really enjoyable.

The only down-side is that it is really noisy at night. However I recommend that you just go out and join in the party! Then use ear plugs when you get back!!!!!!!

Spent 3 nights at the Yellow Bird Hotel while on a diving holiday in May. Conveniently situated within walking distance of most attractions at The Gap and a perfect base for exploring the island from. Large airy room with balcony overlooking a small bay (ideal for watching sunsets). Catering facilities available in the room . Although overlooking a bay it was not ideal for swimming but the hotel has a small pool in the grounds. Nearest beach was walkable we were told but didn't investigate. Highly recommend the hotel so long as you are not expecting a beach-resort style holiday. Staff extremely helpful with car hire, taxis, bus routes etc and nice bar/restaurant on site.

We arrived by taxi and knew immediately that we'd made a great choice in hotel, the view was amazing! We were greated warmly and show to the room by a friendly member of staff.
The room was decorated simply and had the best self catering facilities we'd ever had, a bit dated maybe but all functional and everything you could need! We had a large balcony and every room has THE most stunning view of Little Bay. It was cleaned daily with new towels which was very much appreciated.
The Yellow Bird is in a fantastic location for a self catering holiday with a great choice of bars and restaurants close by.
The pool was small but we had it to ourselves most of the time and the area was always clean.
We didn't dine in the restaurant as we like to explore but it seemed quite popular and there was plenty of choice on the menu.
We were treated to a Rum Punch Party thrown by the management for the guests of the hotel and it's sister hotel the South Gap. Free Rum and nibbles for all and a chance to mingle!
Ok so now the "noise" issue. Well we took ear plugs as we had a noisey hotel last year but any hotel can be noisey if the guests are rowdy! Here it was the music from the nearby clubs. It was only a problem at the weekends when it went on till 3 or 4am. Week days we didn't notice and to be honest it's not like you've got to be up for work in the morning!
The day we left there was an article in the local paper stating that the police had issued a ban on music after 2am, so hopefully, for the residents it will get better.
Finally a very kind word about the staff...i left a sweater that i planned to wear on the plane behind in the wardrobe, Doh! Anyway, less than 2 weeks later it shows up at my door back home, bless they sent it back!!
All in all Yellow Bird was perfect for us and we'd definately go back.

I stayed at the Yellow Bird for the 1st time this year & thought it was an excellant hotel, it is reasonably priced & so you get what you pay for - no frills!! If you want luxury then you need to book one of the bigger hotels. It may not have any frills but it is clean & the rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels & clean bed sheets provided daily, the kitchenette is well furnished & everything in good working order. The staff are second to none & are some of the most friendliest people I have met on the island.

Now lets talk about the noise, people who complain about the level of noise from Jumbies need to get out there & get a life but most importantly to the ones complaining who have actually read about the noise on websites & in brochures why book in the 1st place? Yes there is an element of noise but not as bad as what people make out & it usually finishes before 2 a.m., occasionally it went on longer but that was on the Bank Holidays & after all Bajans need to let their hair down & party too!! These clubs aren't just for the tourists!!
