Beautiful Barbados
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
We stayed here for our honeymoon so wanted somewhere pretty special! As we walked through the front door, we were welcomed by champagne on ice, a card, personalised champagne flutes and another gift. A very unexpected, but most welcome and lovely gesture from Suzie and family. From that moment we knew we were going to have a fantastic honeymoon, and were certainly not disappointed.
The photos are pretty special but you need to see Sunburst in the 'flesh' to really appreciate it. Definitely has the wow factor. You can only admire and appreciate the effort that has gone in to making this place so special. The furniture and kitchen have been shipped over from England. The garden had to be re-landscaped as the family were not happy with it first time round. What with 3 large bedrooms all with en-suites (the 2 back bedrooms sharing a balcony which overlook the Atlantic), the large and beautiful lounge/dining room, extremely well equipped kitchen and beautiful garden, all contributing to making a really fantastic property. All in all, having stayed in many rented villas over the years, we have never stayed in accommodation finished to this high standard before. Simply stunning.
As for the location, its very quiet and secluded (and the garden is not overlooked). The beautiful Bottom Bay beach is a 5 minute walk, with many other stunning beaches within a short drive away.
Restaurants are further afield (30 mins or so drive away), but certainly isn't a problem and well worth the drive. We ate at the Tides (in Holetown) and Pisces (St Laurence Gap) and strongly recommend both.
As for Barbados itself, once again - Stunning. Beautiful countryside, some of the best beaches I have seen in my life and warm friendly people.
Jan (who manages the property) lives about 30 seconds up the road and she is extremely friendly, helpful and informative. She arranged for a chef (Kenneth) to come in and cook for us on 2 occasions. His food was absolutely declicious so would most definitely recommend.
To sum it up, we had a fantastic and memorable honeymoon and will be definitely be coming back to Barbados (and to Sunburst - if available at the time!!)
