Another wonderful stay

Review Submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
Had another wonderful stay at Halcyon Dayz (stayed in March 2010), the place just keeps getting better and harder to leave. Was fortunate to stay for 30 days, including Xmas and New Year 2011, with my sister coming out on the 26th December and her two kids, as usual Mary and David were very helpful and friendly throughout the booking process.

Holetown did not disappoint with plenty to see and do over the xmas period and with the new Lime Grove centre opened, there was plenty of shopping to be had if you have the money. Spent quite a bit of time at Surfside bar where you can hire beach beds and the watersports are fabulous, although the beach boys do tend to hassle you a bit a first, but once you get talking to them they can be really helpful and friendly.

The monkeys at the villa are as always a delight to watch, keeping us entertained throughout our stay, together with the lizards Did not hire a car this time, and although the road leading up back to the house is quite steep, its a good way to get a tan and keep fit and its only 10 minutes walk to Holetown. Hired taxis on an evening and for sightseeing, which are plenty and good value compared to hiring a car. Sherry the housekeeper is an absolute delight, she cannot do enough for you and keeps the place spotless. Really envy Mary and David to have such a wonderful place. Will certainly be going back, hopefully some time soon.
Owner's Response: Well it certainly gives David and myself great pleasure to know you enjoy our home and of course the wonderful island and its people of Barbados.

Thank you for keeping our home so well looked after, you and your family are welcome back anytime.

The perfect villa

Review Submitted: March 20, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
It is difficult to add anything that has not been said before, this villa is perfect. All of the rooms are of a very good size, the equipment and furnishings are of the highest standard, we could not fault anything, and we have stayed in Barbados many times. It was great watching the large troop of monkeys going throught the garden in the morning and evening.

The property is only 3 minutes drive from the large supermarket in Holetown and an easy 15 minute drive to our favourite beach at Gibbs Bay. The villia is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in a lovely quiet residential area. The property was very clean and well maintained on our arrival and the housekeeper, Kim, was very friendly and helpful during our stay. The villa was exactly as described on the web site.

We would definately recommend this property to friends and family.

Well done Mary and David we will definately be booking with you again .

3 Superb Christmas Weeks

Review Submitted: December 30, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2010
On being told by our youngest daughter that we were going to have a family holiday in Dec. 2010, we shrugged and said OK, organise it and we'll cough up and between her and her sister, they did. On opening the door, there was that inaudible intake and a silent " Wow - this is a really beautiful place " - The person who enjoyed it the most was our 8th month old grand-daughter Ruby, she enjoyed the enormous internal space, the daily troupe visit of the 20-or-so monkeys either in the morning or the late in the day, cocky sparrows and humming birds. The earlier comment made is spot-on, this really is a suitable generational property for all to enjoy. Whilst it's in walking distance of Holetown, your own personal transport is a given, it gives you that extra option and flexibility. One tip, if on arrival at the airport and you haven't hired a car, do not take an unmarked car purporting to be a taxi - we had hired transport but needed the extra because of the enormity of the luggage. Whilst getting to the Holetown area was easy, it was clear the driver had no idea where to go specifically and an hour was wasted locating the property whereas in retrospect, in the cold light of day, it as just round the corner - not needed after a long flight and day. Thanks to David for the speedy help with the water problem and sending Quentin around so speedily. Kim, the maid who visits 3 times a week you will find is helpful and the price of the property is a steal - enjoy it, your holiday and enjoy Barbados.

Owner's Response: We are so pleased you had a great time at our home in Barbados, we have many friends on the island who will always be there to help should anything go wrong, which may happen anywhere from time to time!

We were unaware of a bogus taxi problem - we always hire a car for the duration of our stay from Stoutes, probably the best car company on the island for car hire. Certainly always very efficient.

After trying to run our busines during the last few weeks, prior to Xmas, we are delighted to soon be off to Barbados ourselves.

Happy New Year to all our guests who have stayed in our home and enjoyed the house and of course the wonderful island of Barbados.

Wonderful holiday home

Review Submitted: June 20, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
Thanks for allowing the privilege of using your lovely home as our holiday base for the three generations of our family comprising six adults and a baby. We all thoroughly enjoyed the house, particularly granddaughter Holly who even learned how to walk ~ in the very roomy lounge area. Everything was just as advertised, safe, secure, clean, light and airy, with good cooking facilities, if required, situated in pleasant gardens and just a short walk to the amazing beach. A car may be handy but we all survived without a problem using Graydon Best's great taxi service.
Hopefully we may return in the not too distant future to revisit the many friends that we made amongst the local people and of course keep a check on the rum and rotis.

Owner's Response: So pleased you enjoyed our holiday home. Barbados is a place to relax, have fun with like-minded people.

Great news that baby Holly learned to walk in Barbados, something I am sure you will alwasy remind her of!
