About The Resort

We remain committed to prioritising the health and safety of our guests, their families and our employees at our Starfish and rex resort properties. With this in mind, we would like to inform you of the most recent change to our service as a result of the evolving situation with COVID-19.

Effective Thursday, 26th March 2020, Starfish Discovery Bay will be permanently closed.

Despite taking all precautionary measures to protect the health and wellbeing of our guests and employees during this global health crisis, the evolution of this pandemic and government restrictions on travel have given us little choice but to close our doors earlier than originally planned.

We would like to confirm that Starfish Discovery Bay will undertake the extensive renovation projects as previously communicated.

Discovery Bay is a unique beach hotel providing the perfect location for a Barbados vacation. Situated on St James Beach, the All-Inclusive Discovery Bay consists of charming plantation-style houses set in beautiful landscaped gardens. Located on the fashionable West coast, days at this resort are centred around the beach, the pool and the Sugarbird Bar and Grill.
Address : St James Beach, Holetown, St James, Barbados

Please note as of April 1st 2019 a government bed tax of US $9.63 per room per night will be payable in resort
