Community Efforts in Barbados
Our Commitment to Care
In our Commitment to Care section, we share how we look after our people, our planet, and our community, so every stay helps create a brighter, more sustainable future.
Ocean Hotels Barbados, including Sea Breeze Beach House, O2 Beach Club & Spa(opens in new window) and The Rockley, are deeply committed to sustainability and community well-being. Their initiatives focus on environmental responsibility, supporting local communities, and prioritising the well-being of their team members. Ocean Hotels' commitment to the environment includes reducing reliance on fossil fuels, recycling, and participating in island-wide clean-up events. They also emphasise responsible tourism practices, such as promoting local businesses and reducing waste. Furthermore, they invest in their employees' growth and development and partner with local organisations to support the youth of Barbados.
Impact Stories
Ocean Hotels Barbados partnered with the Barbados Community College's Nursing Programme to provide 20 nursing students with a workshop and hands-on work experience aimed at enhancing their hospitality and customer service skills.
This initiative helped the students develop critical soft skills such as communication, empathy, and problem-solving, which are essential for their future roles as professional carers.
Impact Stories
This year, Ocean Hotels proudly joined the global Rock Your Socks initiative on World Down Syndrome Day, celebrating inclusion, raising awareness, and showing support through colourful,
mismatched socks that spark conversation and connection.
In addition to proudly rocking our socks, our team members came together to raise and donate
$3,000 to the Barbados Down Syndrome Association. This donation will directly support the
association’s ongoing work, including therapy services, educational resources, and community
programmes that empower individuals with Down Syndrome and their families.
It’s more than just a gesture, it’s a step toward greater understanding, inclusion, and impact.
Our People
Our team members are the heart of our success, integral to the experiences we provide. We are committed to prioritising their physical and mental health, ensuring they are fulfilled and empowered to reach their full potential. Much of our work is dedicated to the people of Barbados, and to make this a reality, we train our team members to be well-prepared for these initiatives and programmes, ultimately enhancing the lives of those who call this beautiful island home.
