If pure Caribbean glamour is for you then the famous Sandy Lane beach is a 10 minute walk and for special occasions the world renowned Cliff restaurant is a 10 minute drive. Buses leave Holetown regularly and are a very reasonable way of exploring the island.

Starfish a Five Star apartment

The Hikers Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: March 8, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in the Starfish apartment. It is very comfortable and everything is fresh, clean and new, as it has been recently renovated. The apartment is well appointed with great attention to detail. We didn't have a car and really didn't need one as everything is close at hand in Holetown; an excellent supermarket, a mall and souvenir shopping in the Chattel Village, while the Beach House with it's pool and restaurant is truly only a 5 minute walk away (There is a 10% discount off the great food there with your Sunset Crest visitor card). There is also good swimming (no rocks!) just south of the Beach House. If you like to snorkel, the Folkestone Marine Reserve is about a 15 minute walk just north of Holetown.
We love to eat fresh fish when we are in Barbados and the local fish market is at Payne's Bay about a 10 minute bus ride away (sale of fish is after 11 a.m). In fact both the blue and yellow local buses are really convenient as Highway 1 is so close. (The blue buses are a little more sedate, the yellow ones tend to be a bit of a fast, white knuckle ride!!)
Sunset Crest is a fun area to explore if you like walking as we do. It is also possible at low tide to walk along the beach south to Paynes' Bay. We love to take the Hike Barbados Sunday hikes when we are visiting. It's a great way to exercise, meet people and discover off the beaten track parts of the island.
We were fortunate enough to be in Holetown during the Festival week (Feb 17th to 22) so we had many activities to enjoy such as free concerts, parades and the craft fair.
If you are football supporters, the Surfside Bar (by the Police Station!)
is a fun place to watch a game.
We would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends for its comfort, great value, its super location and an owner who is absolutely delightful to deal with. Thank you Lynn for everything and good luck with renting your lovely property

Small and perfectly formed

TravelJunkie Nottingham
Review Submitted: October 24, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
I booked this accommodation for my parents who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. The booking process was so easy and the owner helpful. Providing information on local services, restaurants and sight seeing as well as recommending a local car hire company. Everything worked like clock work with the local contact Sue, who was at the apartment to welcome them and was on hand to help out throughout their stay. The apartment itself was small but with everything that had been promised and was a good base for their 2 week holiday. They had nothing but praise for all of the arrangements and had a wonderful trip. Thank you.

Home away from home in Barbados

Bob and Darlene Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Our stay at the Starfish was a delight. Everything was as described. All that we needed to feel at home was at hand. The nearby supermarket, fruit sellers and fish market provided for our eat in meals, and an evening dining out was as close as a short walk or bus ride away. The dining at the Beach House was terrific and the view from the seaside table with the cooling breezes right out of a tourist publication. Lynn is very gracious and concerned and followed through with us until we arrived and made contact with Sue, her representative in Barbados. Ours was to be a beach holiday and we were not disappointed. All beaches were easily accessed, the snorkelling and beach services available quite satisfactory. We are already planning our next visit.

Barbados Bungalow / Starfish Review

paul & avril York, England
Review Submitted: March 12, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Thank you for an excellent holiday in the newly refurbished Starfish bungalow at Holetown { Originally known as Jamestown after the British arrived in 1627}.An excellent place to stay because its location closed to the Tourist Shops, Supermarket and top quality beaches make it probably the best location to stay in Barbados.The use of the Beach House pool and Bar / Restaurant located on the seafront was a major plus. With a hire car and two weeks we did some exporing of the Island to the Caves, Botanical Gardens, Bridgetown etc. However, a car was not essential as there were wonderful walks from the Beach House either towards Folkstone Marine Park or to Sandy Lane. I loved the bungalow, its tasteful interior, the Humming Birds that came to feed each breakfast time. What a wonderful place for a holiday
Many thanks. Will come back again.

Wonderful apartment & excellent location!

Zoe&Mike Worcester
Review Submitted: March 10, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a lovely one week stay at Starfish Apartment, located in Holetown, a small & friendly town in the heart of the West Coast of Barbados also known as the Platinum Coast and we definately agree! Location was perfect only 5 mins walk to the Beach, Supermarket & Restaurants/Bars. The apartment was very clean & tidy, with light modern furnishings and lots of useful personal touches. There is a well stocked supermarket on doorstep & unlimited free use of pool at the Beach House Bar & Restaurant. There are many good restaurants our favourites were The Beach House and "Spago" at Settlers Beach! Its very easy to travel around the Island by bus & by car, the rental company recommed by the owner was very helpful. A visit to Paynes Bay is well worth it & only 15 mins walk, but dont go on cruise ship day! The owner was extremley helpful before, during & after our stay! Its even better than the description and pictures! We have recommened Starfish to all our family & friends as it offers excellent value for money! We look forward to returning in the near future.
