Location: Holetown, St. James, Barbados, Caribbean (Ecclectic Seaside Resort on the Site of the First Settlement)
Accommodations: Studio Apartment, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Santiago-St. James is a modern, fresh, roomy tropical-cottage style studio apartment consisting of a sizable air-conditioned single bedroom with an en suite bathroom and an open-plan living room-kitchen. Its crisp design extends into a covered lanai at its east-facing front attached to an open-air deck for private sun-worshipping, and a sheltered car-park which connects directly to a cheerful French-window front door. There are Security bars throughout, but the neighbourhood is very safe with Holetown Police Station not far away.
Located perfectly away from the sand-flies but less than 300 yards from one of the most outrageously gorgeous beaches in the Caribbean and within three minutes’ stroll to shopping plazas, post office, library, banks, boutiques, salons and supermarkets, Santiago-St. James is also only 60 paces from a bus stop that will connect you to almost every corner of beautiful Barbados.
The tropical Tradewinds keep the climate here between 24° and 30° Celsius, and the occasional rain shower is past as fast as it has swept in.
When you are finally tired of reading and tanning on the sundeck you can browse the little museums, antique shops, watch a few “overs” of cricket at Maple Club, snorkel the coral reef, or if you are more active, play tennis, go cycling, horse riding, bird watching, swimming with friendly giant leatherback turtles, waterskiing or kayaking.
Nestled between two international championship golf courses, Sandy Lane and Royal Westmoreland Holetown exhibits a blend of contemporary sophistication with echoes of rustic sea-faring life. St James Parish Church, the oldest Anglican chapel in the island is less than a city block away.
Santiago-St James is ideal base for a stress-free, relaxing, romantic discovery of this precious tropical paradise, Barbados . . . . come reinvent yourself as a "Bajan Egret", the species of graceful heron that has made Holetown its home.
To find the physical location of Santiago-St James if you are driving yourself or instructing a taxi driver, open the internet to Google Map and insert “Holetown Barbados” in the search box. If you increase the size of the map one click you´ll see the location of Discovery Bay Hotel.
The gateway entrance to Jamestown Park is on Highway 1 directly across from Discovery Bay Hotel. Follow the main street straight into the residential area. Santiago-St James is the second house on the right at the point where the main Jamestown Park street makes a slight curve.
