We invite you to savour the hospitality of Rio Santo, a charming, typically Barbadian stone property, designed with striking hardwood balustrades on its patios and verandahs. Nestled in a quiet cul de sac, it is undoubtedly an ideal retreat from the daily hustle and bustle.
We offer a well-appointed traditional three-bedroom apartment and two newly-built modern one-bedroom apartments, all on a self-catering basis.
In the three-bedroom ground floor unit, you will enjoy the convenience of a large patio and wet bar; a living room, cooled by ceiling fan, that seats six comfortably; a separate entertainment area with TV, radio/cassette stereo, DVD and video facilities; a kitchen fully-outfitted with large refrigerator; four-burner stove; microwave oven; toaster; electric kettle; pots and pans; crockery; cutlery, etc., and a laundry room equipped with washer and dryer.
You will be able to sleep six persons in the air-conditioned bedrooms and an additional two persons on the sofa-bed, if required. Two bathrooms complete this very desirable apartment.
In each of the one-bedroom apartments, we offer accommodation for two to three persons. Here you will find an open plan layout with flow-through living, dining and kitchen. We feature in the kitchen a small refrigerator; four-burner stove; microwave oven; toaster; electric kettle; pots and pans; crockery; cutlery, etc.
In the air-conditioned bedroom are two twin beds, which may be joined or separated as needed. Each bathroom has a whirlpool tub. Of course, we also have an ample supply of linens.
When you are not on the beach, you may wish to enjoy the sun’s rays on the large sun deck or relax with a cool local beverage of your choice.
Rio Santo is advantageously located close to the famous St. Lawrence Gap, and across the street from a white sandy beach, washed by the crystal clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea. Mere yards away is the popular Accra Beach.
Nearby, within walking distance, are supermarkets, banks, medical offices, pharmacy, shops, hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. There is also the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, a bird sanctuary of diverse species, not far away. The area is heavily trafficked, well-lighted and safe for walking.
As the property is virtually on the bus transportation route, a car is not essential but most people elect to have one, especially for sight-seeing and travel to venues outside the immediate vicinity. For those preferring not to drive themselves, taxi service is readily available.
Within ten minutes by car are the Rockley Golf Club, the National Tennis Centre, the Garrison Historic Area (including the headquarters of the Barbados Defense Force and the Garrison Savannah horse racing track), and the Museum and Historical Society. It is about 15 minutes to the capital city Bridgetown and 20 minutes to the Grantley Adams International Airport.
The South Coast of Barbados has great appeal to the visitor. It is vibrant, with great night life and many excellent restaurants. Mojo's is next door and a short walk away is everyone's favourite Champers Restaurant and Wine Bar. The best known area is the popular St. Lawrence Gap. There you will find the After Dark Night Club, the popular Pisces Restaurant, The Ship Inn offering a sports bar, restaurant and nightclub, Josef’s Restaurant, the Bay Bistro, McBride’s, and gaming arcades, among other attractions. Also within easy reach is Oistin’s Town, famous for its fresh fish fries and down-to-earth ambience.
