    Frankly and honestly with some minor nuances, which I do not even want to mention, this property operates like it should be. One gets what he pays for and, this is what matters.

    No breakfast is provided and we hadn't expected any. We used to cook ours and, we have no problems with that. From our perspective (calm and nice!) the location is perfect. Thanks God, we are fully functional (physically, I mean) and we walk everywhere. The most important for us is the Beach access and, from that location one has several options within 500-800m. Perfect!

    Too expensive for what it is. I understand that Barbados is very expensive in general, but almost 2k € for 7 nights is pretty steep. For an apartment. No breakfast, no pick-up service, no mosquito spray in the room, etc.

    Staff is very friendly and helpful, apartment has a very good size, pool area is well maintained

    Lovely accommodation a few blocks away from the action.

    The resort is about 15 min walk from beaches, shops, bars etc, and it can be a hot walk. Need to factor that into your plans for the day if you don’t have a car. Each room has a lovely balcony but the layout of the resort means they don’t catch much breeze, even late at night, and there is no real view, other than over the pool.

    Rooms are modern, clean , well equipped and very comfortable. Large pool with plenty of loungers and room for all. Fellow guests were all very friendly and management/owners very approachable

    Inability to buy basic provisions on site eg drinks and the nearest supermarket was a 20 minute walk, no fun carrying 6 litre bottles of water in 30 degrees heat.

    It felt that the price was a little expensive for a hotel so far from shops and restaurants. Would be great if they had a little shop for water and snacks.

    Really friendly hotel with great staff and good facilities. Our room (the 2 bedroom) was well designed and perfect for a family. We had good kitchen facilities, a great washer / dryer, and very comfy beds.

    A good place to stay if you want to be out of the main hustle and bustle of Holetown

    If you don't have a hire car it is a good 20 minute walk to the supermarket so that's not ideal - however the bus services one the main road (10mins walk) are frequent and cheap. The apartment is a little dated and there are no additional facilities in terms of food and drink at the resort so you have to buy in or go out. I could have also done without the dogs in the next door house barking early in the morning and every time you walked out of the property but that isn't the resorts fault.

    A secluded location with its own pool. The penthouse apartment was spacious, a fantastic balcony and view with an excellent kitchen. Rooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. The housekeeping was as expected and the change over of linen and towels as described in the resort information

    The apartment we were in seemed unfinished. We only got 1 bath towel per person. You need to give a deposit for a pool and beach towel. Before you check out, you need to wait until they check the room first.

    It is a great and peaceful location, closeby restaurants, the beach and the supermarket Massy. It has a kitchen, livingroom and a walk-in closet. It's a beautiful modern apartment. Staff was friendly. Nice swimming pool.

    The daytime building works prevented relaxing by the pool during the daytime. We only discovered about the building works once we'd paid for the rooms, and the payment was non-refundable. However, we were not in the block where the building works were being carried out.

    The apartments were very well designed and very comfortable, the air con worked, the self catering facilities were very good indeed. The staff were incredibly friendly and approachable. I would stay here again!
