Luxury family holiday villa with pool, Coverley house, Barbados, A/C

having stayed in barbados in st lawrence gap area many times before, we decided to try a villa this time, there were two couples and two older teenagers in our party and this villa seemed to suit our needs perfectly. the directions given to us were spot on and the villa was very easy to find from the airport, a tip if you are not a regular traveller to the area, turn right at bottom of the street and a few hundred yards along the road, just before the petrol station there is a doctors office, painted bright blue, if you turn right here it takes you straight onto the highway. on arrival the property manager met us and showed us around and told us how to work air con, etc. villa was very spacious and well equipped with dvds cds etc and plenty of tv channels if you have a rainy day. we found the cool box and picnic facilities to be very useful as we used them most days. we were left a welcome pack of eggs, bacon, cheese, milk, cola, teabags and a bottle of rum to get us through the first night which was wonderful! there is a supermarket just along the road, opposite the petrol station which stocked most things that we needed. the gazebo and pool outside were fabulous and very welcome, we met the staff of cleaner, gardeners and pool men during our stay who were all very friendly. only small criticisims were that the barbecue did not work when we went to use it, the telephone line and internet are not yet connected and another shower instead of a bath with mixer taps would have been useful with six people staying here. this property was ideal for our needs as a family but maybe a little too far away for young groups as you would need to get a taxi to pubs, etc and it was a ten minute ride from the gap.
