    The locacion was near the beach with restaurants and supermarkets in driving distance. Yoy need a car to move around.

    The property was gated with a guard. The staff was very kind and helpful. The apartment was spacious, fully equipped and the beds very confortable.

    although location is very good, it still requires a car, we tried to go to beaches by walking but there are literally no space to walk for pedestrians and both cars and buses are moving really fast. it’s definitely not a fault of the property but rather Barbados government should invest more into roads and making them a bit more walkable..

    great location in the nice area, very good positioning of our appartment right next to the swimming pool. we loved our appartment and all its facilities, kitchen very well equipped, working AC, good water pressure in the shower, comfortable beds and soft bed linen. Both reception and housekeeping staff were very responsive and helpful, the housekeeping manager was checking on us daily, everything was clean and well maintained! big thanks to all the personnel for excellent work!

    There was no signage to identify the numbers of the units on entering the complex and no clear instructions on how to access the lock box.

    The location was nice and it had nice pools.

    It’s was slighted dated, the balcony seem to be newly renovated and decorated and was beautiful but overall the inside apartment was just very average. There was a note that said “machines not for rental use or incur a fee” I wasn’t sure if that was meant for the appliances but I didn’t see any other machines they could be talking about. I never needed to use them but I definitely was hesitant to and the one time I thought about using the microwave it was late at night so I couldn’t call to ask. You can definitely hear through these walls.

    The price. Compared to other properties nearby, it was cheaper and probably had more space that the average hotel room for a similar or higher price. I loved the balcony with the accordion door that could open up the entire length of the wall. The security measures for this entire complex made me feel safe.

    I didn't like that we didn't get a personal reception with the ability to go over particular things that are unique to the property. For example, the door to the patio closed in a particular way which is not intuitive. We could have had the host explain to us how it works instead of struggling with it for a while, then having to call up the host for an explanation. There were several other items like this which, fortunately for me, I figured out on my own. Perhaps a visual guide would help? Another issue that arose was that a door was broken and couldn't be unlocked. To fix this took more than a day and involved people entering the property while we were away, which was not properly coordinated with us. it also meant that we had to spend valuable time waiting for the service providers to fix the lock. Valuable time that we could have spent on holiday. Not a deal-beaker, but not ideal either. I understand that COVID policies have changed the way guests are received but the solutions have to adequately compensate for the lack of in-person contact with the hosts.

    I liked the size and comfort of the space and the modern kitchen equipment. I also like the staff and their attention to us and our needs. I really grew to value the night security guard. Andy was a delight and very helpful throughout our stay when returning late at night or tired after dinner, he'd have the gate open for us before we even thought of touching the security code pad. In that vein, the host's team was very helpful and attentive throughout our short stay and it was easy and pleasant to communicate with them and get their recommendations on various things to do on the island or to find various services we needed at any moment. Very good host team. The pool was in a great location and was just the right size and complexity to allow for all the family to feel comfortable and to enjoy: a low pool for the 5-year-old and a deeper pool for the adults and older kids.

    The nearest beach is about 1km away along the busy road, this was the main downside for us. But there's a bus stop right in front of the property, so you can get to some good beaches by bus. No cafes/shops in the area.

    The flat was spacious and clean; aircon in every room. Warm and clean pool. The staff was friendly and polite. The view from our balcony was great.

    The place is expensive compared to an average hotel. Unable to leave luggage and we experienced some cockroach and unclean bedsheet which housekeeping did clean it up the next day but wouldn’t believe that we encountered this. Other than that there is nobody to help with luggage and there is no elevator to go up the stairs.

    Very nice appartement and garden. I love the self service for check-in/ out. It has a swimming pool but other than that it does not have any facilities such as jacuzzi or gym. The staff enters unannounced in the suite which I did not like and because there is no front desk, very difficult to reach the property manager. Other than that there are cleaning supplies which I liked very much.
