We invite you to savour the hospitality of Rio Santo, a charming, typically Barbados 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 in Barbados, 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.

Rio Santo is your home away from home. From there, you can Reach Out And Touch Barbados!

  • e stayed at Rio Santo the first eek in August and out stay was a pleasant one. It had everythig that we needed and it was in a quiet area, but yet close enough to quite a few amenities. All within walking distance was a restaurant, gas station, food store. Mr. Norris was more than accommodating with us, he was very friendly and waited for us to find the place. I would definetely recommend Rio Santo if you are looking for a home away from home.

  • We stayed in this property (the one-bedroom apartment) this summer. Everything about it was excellent. Convenient location, within walking distance of St. Lawrence Gap, Accra Beach, supermarkets, banks, and restaurants. The apartment was also very comfortable, spacious, clean, and in a safe location. All we can say is that we highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay with the conveniences of home while in Barbados. The owner is also extremely nice, helpful, and professional!

  • What can we say that hasn`t been said, beautiful house, clean, spacious. We stayed in 3BR/2BA at Rio Santo from March 1st - 15th, 2009 with a friend and our 3 kids. Quiet area off the main road, perfect for the kids. Within a short walking distance to banks, restaurants, bars, beach, etc. Neighbours extremely friendly. We loved watching the Green Monkeys play. Saw them twice. Our favorite place was the big covered veranda. We spent all our time there, we ate there, played cards, or just relaxed after a day at the beach. Mr. Norris was the perfect host, kind, understanding and eager to please. We are returning for sure next year and we highly recommend Rio Santo for the perfect vacation in Beautiful Barbados.

  • We found the Rio Santo apartment to be very comfortable and well situated relative to beaches, grocery shopping, banking and restaurants. Being from Canada I found it very convenient to walk ten minutes to the ScotiaBank and withdraw money (in Barbados dollars) using my ScotiaBank card just like I do in Canada. Rockley Beach (also called Accra Beach) is 5 to 10 minutes away. Roughly the same distance to Worthing Beach. Mr. Norris is very accommodating and installed a high speed internet conection in the room prior to our arrival.

  • Rio Santo is the perfect 3 bdrm accommodation for a family looking for a self-catering vacation. We loved the large covered porch and the opportunity to be outside all the time- it became our dining and living room. The beach access was extremely convenient, and being tucked away off the main road made for a quiet environment to enjoy a tropical vacation. The kitchen was well equipped, but the Master bedroom bed could use an upgrade. The proximity to the St Lawrence Gap area and grocery stores makes a car an extravagance.

  • We were in town for our niece's wedding (3/24-3/29) and stayed in Barbados for 6 days and 5 nights. We wanted a nice, quiet, clean rental for our family. This vacation rental was ideal, very clean, roomy, close to shops and other amenities, not to mention just a short walk to the beach. We strongly recommend this vacation rental, for both value and the landlord's gracious hospitality.

  • I stayed for 2 weeks at Rio Santo and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. As a business person who travels extensively, I was looking to get away from hotels for awhile and Rio Santo proved to be the ideal solution. The villa is spacious, clean and the neighbourhood is outstanding with birds and flowering trees everywhere. The 3 bedroom apartment is ideal for families, and I would also strongly recommend it for any business person who is looking to set up temporary office space in Barbados. The owner is very accomodating and a pleasure to deal with. Exception value and highly recommended.

  • Home away from Home! Stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment in February. The apartment was very well located in a quiet street but still close to everything.It was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Great beach across the street and famous Accra beach is just 10 min walk away. Grocery/Gas Station/Restaurants all within a walking distance. Loved the bar Mojo`s just around the corner, good food, fabulous drinks and friendly people! We would definitely stay there again!

  • Having just spent 2 wonderful weeks on this beautiful island staying in a lovely comfortable apartment, we had to leave feedback to express how pleased we were with the service we received from the owner, Mr Norris. We stayed in the 1st floor apartment with a roof terrace, which gave amazing views across the immediate area. The steps are steep, you just need to be careful coming down. The apartment as clean & had everything we needed. Mr Norris advised that if we needed help with anything, just give him a call. We access to a phone to make local calls and receive incoming international calls. Winston is a local taxi driver, details given to us by Mr Norris, is a real gem. The "Gap" is in easy walking distance, the beach is just 3 minutes across the road, Accra beach is about a 10 min stroll. Mojos is our favourite bar for chilling with fab Rum Punch and cocktails and lovely food, all freshly prepared. The music didn't disturb us at all. Oistins was just a bus ride away and great evening out. Good Times Catamaran details in aprtment is excellent value for money and a fab day's sailing. We will certainly be looking to stay at Rio Santo Apartments again and would recommend them if you want a relaxed and chilled holiday. These apartments in a quiet corner of Worthing are a real find, with monkeys strolling along the front wall and humming birds in the garden next door, we would like to keep this place a secret but hey, we like to share....
