visited Condo September/Oct 2009

Mrs G B North East England UK
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I have just returned from spending a week at the Condo and wish that I had been able to stay longer. The Condo is everything as described but it is impossible to appreciate the stunning location or views from the balcony and windows without a visit. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation for a perfect stay in Barbados. The property is well maintained and a local lady and her husband were on hand to address any needs or queries. They were marvellous in ensuring that we had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday.
There are a number of restaurants etc. within a short walking distance and also access to regular, inexpensive public transport to enable visits to all parts of the island.
Swimming with the turtles, walking along the beach as sunset, watching the local monkeys in nearby trees and seeing the variety of visiting birds make this a very special holiday destination and location.
The owners of the property made the reservation i.e. booking of the Condo as simple as possible even to the point of arranging the provision of some groceries so that we could have our breakfast etc. on the first day without going shopping.
I have stayed at a number of four and five star hotels in Barbados in the past but my week at this Condo was a better/first class experience all round. One which I am keen to repeat in the near future.
Owner's Response: Dear G - Thank you so much much for your glowing review - how wonderful that you compared our condo home favourably to some of the 5 star west coast hotels you've stayed at in Barbados. We look forward to your future visits. Thanks again, D&G

Honeymoon Sept 2009

GoodyBarbados Chicago,IL
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I were looking for a perfect location for our honeymoon when I came across this listing for a beachfront condo. You never can tell by descriptions and pictures because sometimes they can be deceiving, however this property was just as beautiful and in the perfect location, as described. The pictures do not convey how pretty this property is. The condo owners were very easy to work with and responded to all my questions and concerns right away. The condo was very clean and in fact to our surprise there was a maid service that came in a few times during the week, so we didn't have to worry about changing the sheets or using dirty towels for the whole time we were there. The nice thing we also realized after being there, this is the only condo that has a bright pink bush out side so its easy to see from the ocean when we were out doing water supports; we knew where we needed to head back with the jet skies. Since this is the only condo that has this view it was nice to relax at night and watch the sun go down right from the balcony. The condo owner has a local taximan that they use and it was nice to not have to worry about being picked up at the airport and dropped off. The price we paid for this condo was very reasonable for Barbados. We did not realize how expensive it was going to be when we got there, so that was a little disappointing, we were hoping to eat out a little more then we did, but it was more cost efficient to stay in a few nights. Which was easy to do since there is a full kitchen to use and a local grocery store with in walking distance. The pool area was very nice and was very warm and clean. Over all this was a great experience and I would recommend this location and condo to anyone. Thank you so much for a wonderful honeymoon.
Owner's Response: HI K&J, Thank you for your kind words, so glad you found the condo is even nicer than the photos! - we think so too!!! - it's really hard to have photos that justify the view and the surroundings! - Thank you also for the very thoughtful words you choose to help other potential guests understand not only our condo but also the island, so that their honeymoon can be as special as yours was. Your helpful comments are very much appreciated. D&G

Perfect Honeymoon Getaway!

Honeymooners2009 Fleet, Hampshire, UK
Review Submitted: September 22, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This wonderful beachfront condo provided the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. The neighbors were friendly and helpful but not invasive. The flat was clean and tidy as described with maid service every couple of days. There is a pool on-site and, of course, the beach which is literally a stone's throw from the condo. There are shops and a supermarket within 5 minutes' walk from the condo for self-catering and souvenirs. Jet ski rentals are available right on the beach as well as boating trips to swim with turtles, etc. There are a number of restaurants and clubs down the street which could, on occasion, be a bit noisy but not enough to disrupt our time. We highly recommend a visit to ''Ragamuffins'' restaurant just down the road. Order the fish cakes...you won't be disappointed! We visited twice during our stay and would have gladly gone a third time if we could! In addition, the resort next door plays live music every evening until 11pm. If you're an early-to-bed kind of person, this might annoy you but we loved it! They play all sorts including jazz and motown favorites. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay for couples and families of all ages and we highly recommend it!! You won't be disappointed!
Owner's Response: Thanks S&S, Glad the honeymoon was a super time. You'll be glad to know the noisy restaurant Bonfire closed! - not that it could be heard in #1 - nothing from the street could be, as you know - the only sound is the sound of the waves lapping on the shore! Hope you can return some time for more fish cakes at Ragamuffins! Thanks for writing D&G

A view to die for

popz Aberdeen Scotland
Review Submitted: July 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
very accurate in description of property. Location ideal facilities in condo excellent. Vita the maid keeps the place very clean and tidy. Plenty of choice to eat out and also close to super market if you want to eat in. Excellent water sports right on your door step and the beach is so clean and not crowded at all. Local people are really friendly and it is so easy to drive as it's on the same side of the road as UK. What more can I say best holiday we have ever had.
Owner's Response: Thanks Paula Colin and Scott - so glad all the family had a good time including your son, and that even he found the accommodation great (our 6'2" - 200lb son does as well!!)
We look forward to back at some future date! - Kind of you to write - it's much appreciated.

A wonderful choice!

R & T Canada
Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My wife and I recommend the Beachfront Condo in lovely Barbados. It has become our favourite getaway, and we look forward to returning there again and again.

We loved the place so much when we saw and read about it on-line, we decided to get married right there on the beach before we’d even seen it in person – and we have no regrets!

The beach is lovely, the surroundings are perfect to unwind in, and the hospitality-from-afar shown by the absentee hosts makes you feel like you really are at home. All the amenities you need to live are there, and if you pre-order, you can have the food-basics waiting for you on arrival.

Gift shops, grocery stores, “Flindt’s Bistro”, banks, pubs, diving facilities, wineries, and liquor stores all are just around the corner, and world-renowned restaurants, like “Tides” are a short walk away.

After enjoying another sun-drenched day on the sandy beach, let the music from neighbourhood steel drum bands serenade you over dinner on your patio while you watch the beautiful sunset. Then let the waves softly wash ashore as they lull you to sleep… What else could you want?! This IS heaven!

Be sure to book early, as it does sell out by repeat guests (like us!) well in advance.

Enjoy your visit!
Owner's Response: Hi R&T - thank you for your kind words, thoughts, and deeds. So glad you love our home the way we do. Maybe one day in the future, you'll be able to live there permanently yourselves - until then - we look forward to your visits. Thanks again for taking the time to write, it is very much appreciated

West Coast Holiday

Nojo UK
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2008
Have been to this apartment on many occasions and have booked again this year - speaks for itself. Wonderful apartment, close to all amenities. Walking distance from shops and many restaurants, which are excellent.

The apartment is bright and light and very well maintained. We are looked after wonderfully by the lady who manages the complex and is extremely kind and helpful with everything we need and is very knowledgeable about the island generally.

The views from the apartment are second to none, the best on the West Coast. Sitting on the balcony watching the sunset is a magical experience - especially with a glass of beer or wine.

Walking in the edge of the sea down to the beach bar is a must.

Just looking forward to our next holiday.
Owner's Response: Thanks to N&J - for their kind words. We look forward to
their next stay, and our manager always looks forward to their visit again. - we also thank them for the helpful way they look after our home, so that it is always ready for our next guests. Always a pleasure to have you stay in #1.

Review Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Lovely little place...simple and sweet. Loved falling asleep to the lapping of waves! Ahhhhh...peace at last! Neat and clean, exactly what was advertised.
Owner's Response: Thanks a bunch you guys, glad you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to having you visit again. And further - thanks for the mention that it is exactly as advertised (except the photos of the interiors because we haven't had the new photos taken as yet, of all the renovations and new soft furnishings - which we will get done next month before we leave)

Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
My husband and I stayed at #1 Palm Beach for 10 days in June of 2008. You aren't going to find a place to stay any closer to the beach than this!

The owners and caretakers are all so very nice and accommodating. They even had our favorite beverages chilling in the fridge when we arrived.

The condo was very clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The pool was always clean and uncrowded. The complex is beautifully landscaped with many different types of flowers and palm trees. It is convient to a large grocery store along with many other shops and restaurants. You don't need a car, but we rented one to explore the rest of the island. Parking is free and onsite. Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are also provided for your use on the beach. Just a short walk up the beach is a great snorkeling area too! Watersports are available nearby.

This was one of the best most relaxing vacations we've ever had. We spent every morning drinking coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach and enjoying the sunsets in the evenings. I highly recommend it and would enjoy staying there again.
Owner's Response: Thanks Nadine and Wayne - we look forward to welcoming you back again.

Great accomodation in Barbados

stoves Cookham, Berkshire, UK
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
This apartment is a fantastic place to stay in Barbados. It is situated right on the beach at Holetown and is within very easy reach of many shops including a large supermarket. Also there are numerous bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a lovely pool, as well as being just a few steps from the beach. The apartment itself is very comfortable, very well furnished and excellently equipped. It has full maid service which ensures that it is always very clean and tidy. The property is very well looked after and has been recently refurbished, providing first class accommodation. We will shortly be arriving for our 12th stay here and cannot recommend it highly enough.
Owner's Response: Thanks Fiona and Martin - we look forward to having you stay in our home for the twelfth year running - you look after it so nicely for us.
