Reviews of Property: STUNNING BEACH FRONT PENTHOUSE, BARBADOS with sensational sea views

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a fabulous property in an ideal location for a typical Barbados experience. Speightstown is a very local town with limited nightlife, only a couple of good restaurants but we loved it and its only 20 mins from Holetown. I'd definitely stay again.

We love to dive and just a few metres away is Reefers and Wreckers dive shop. We were delighted by the tropical underwater world.

The Condo was very clean and well maintained and we were well looked after by the maid and manager. We liked Harrisons Cave and the beautiful sky at night. Can thoroughly recommend this penthouse.

Wish we were in Barbados!

We had such a romantic time in the Penthouse. Swimming in the warm blue sea and loved the east coast with its wild crashing surf in contrast to the calm west coast. Snorkelling showed us the beautifully coloured fish.

This airy apartment was beautifully furnished with everything you could need, air conditioned bedrooms, ceiling fans, washing machine, coffee maker, blender etc.

I had a wonderful week in this 5 star luxury apartment in January. So comfortable clean and well equipped. My favourite spot was the day bed where I could gaze out at the ocean and the palm trees.
Enjoyed Casareef Beach Bar in Speightstown for lunch and their delicious capuccino coffee! Mangos Restaurant was great too. Speightstown lets you see a real Barbados town away from the tourist trail.

We are coming back next year! The apartment was great for us and we look longingly at the photos of the blue caribbean ocean taken from the balcony... Speightstown takes you back in time and we miss all the street stalls with the fresh mangoes pawpaw and bananas which we made smoothies with for breakfast! Thank you for a special holiday in beautiful Barbados.

We just got back from a glorious week in this very comfortable and well-appointed apartment. Gorgeous sitting/dining/balcony areas, beautifully furnished, all mod cons. Very comfortable bedrooms and choice of bathrooms! Well-equipped kitchen, large fridge/freezer, convenient parking underneath.Easy walk to Speightstown shops/bank/beach cafe/Mango's restaurant etc, along the waterside in moonlight particularly lovely. All watersports, swimming with turtles, fishing trips easily arranged 5m walk the other way - we did it all! Easy to drive to centre of island or east coast for half or whole day but with bus on main road you could easily manage without car if wanted. Our teenagers swam or played footie on beach right in front of our balcony whenever we were not ready to go or after we got back. Satellite TV in case of rainy day, internet connection for workaholics on their laptops. Very easy to snorkel to nearby reefs, no boat required - lovely fish to see. Plenty of lovely restaurants, particularly nearer Holetown too, both romantic (Tides was lovely) and suitable for teenagers (Ragamuffins, Zaccios). Mullins with beach, chairs, swimming platform, sports, water toys etc and ideal lunch restaurant we only found on last day, would have used more often. Lexy's piano bar fun for live music after dinner.I would highly recommend this apartment for a self catering holiday on the west coast, we had a great time.

Firstly this is not a unobstructed view property,erased from the picture is large power telegraph station which is in your eyeline to the left of the balcony. The facilities did not have air con throughout the property, yes, there are units in the lounge but these have been disconnected. The property owner informed us this is due to the large electricity bills she had received from past cilents. I can understand why they were used as the lounge gets very hot . The main problems we had where from the animals directly next door. It seems to be a small holding of varied animals including 5 dog kennels. They are caged and go mad at any time they see anything( usually monkeys) the barking can start from approx 2 to 3am and go on all day at times it drove us mad we had to go out to get away from it, if you want a nice relaxed lay in get up in your own time forget it it wont happen. The most alarming problem we had was when we experienced a power cut. It is a underground electric gated entry/exit therefore we found ourselves trapped in and other family members locked out, as the gates obvisously do not work with no electricity. No contingency plan is given to you on arrival or advise on where we could find temporary lighting etc on the 1st floor where we were... the telephones are cordless (hence didnt work) when we eventually managed to contact the property owner on our mobile to tell her of the situation and asked what what we were to do she suggested in the pitch black to get to the exit and climb over the fence near the gate {the fence being 6ft high and no ladder!)but did tell us where to find a battery lamp in the apartment if there was a fire god help us! The next day when the power was on we asked the property owner for the key to over ride the gates in case the power cut out again. She said she didnt have any but would try to locate them and had them on the day of our departure 4 days later and after a 2nd power cut 2 days after the first where we were in the same position. I spoke to the property owner about our problems and unfortunately she wasnt bothered. I would not recommended this property to anyone this is one of the worst stays I have had in Barbados and I have been many times. There are obviously real saftey concerns regarding this property. It certainly wouldnt stop me from going again to this beautiful island but i would certainly not stay here.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at this lovely bright, spacious apartment - went with my husband and parents and we all had a fabulous time. The apartment is ideal for 2 couples, there's lots of space and it's very comfortable. The location is perfect, right on the edge of the town, and you can see and hear the beautiful blue sea all the time. We did lots of swimming and sightseeing, our favourite beaches were Port St Charles and Gibbs beach, and we loved the scenery on the east coast too. We had good meals at the Fish Pot and Mangos, although it was expensive and the dollar was not in our favour. Also enjoyed the Wednesday night entertainment at the Fisherman's Pub - limbo, steal drums and dancing. We would definitely love to go back!
