Fantastic time at #1 Palm Beach

We all had a fantastic time at Palm Beach - we especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony at no.#1 and watching the world go by. I think our friends will be back again as will we! We had everything we needed in the apartment and Julia & Helen were both really helpful too. We had some lovely meals too. We did splash out and go to Sandy Lane for the Sunday Brunch which was fabulous as you would expect, but of course you have to try and eat everything in sight!! Suffice to say we've put on a few extra pounds! We also tried The Mews and Cariba for the first time and had wonderful food and service in both. Still so many places to try. We also did the turtle trip again which was great fun. I managed to get bitten by a fish who obviously thought I was a piece of bread! Had some memorable nights at Lexy's with Frankie G who was very funny and entertaining. It was just a shame that it was a bit quiet in Holetown. Groots was empty when we went there a couple of nights. Let's hope it picks up soon. We met some lovely people too at Mullins and The One Love Bar - it always surprises me how welcoming the Bajans are - and not always because they're after your money. Well just ten weeks till we fly out again in January but this time cruising but so hoping we get to spend our last day in our favourite place - Barbados! Thank you so much for letting us share your little bit of paradise we really did have a fabulous time and look forward to returning in the future.

We just spend two weeks at this condo and loved it. It is a stunning location, literally right on the beach. The balcony overlooks the ocean, which is just steps away, and offers a magnificent view of the sunsets. The unit has everything you could ask for, and is very clean. The complex itself is small with only about 15 units, some of which belong to the hotel next door. The hotel has great entertainment, which you can enjoy from the deck at night. The garden pool is lovely and quiet, The owners of this unit offer extraordinary service, courtesy of Pat, a full time resident in the complex. She arranges your pick up at the airport, and stocks the fridge for you before you arrive. That and the lovely cleaning lady Vita, make it like being at home. Vita made sure we had fresh flowers in the unit, and kept the unit very clean and stocked with clean towels. The Unit is very close to many restaurants and grocery shopping, so no car necessary unless you want to tour the area. The area felt very safe, and we encountered no problems walking at night.

Owner response:Thank you N&L, So very kind of you to write such a glowing review for us. One point I would like to make is that actually - your comment that some of the units are owned by the hotel next door is incorrect - the units the hotel operates are leased from owners of those units - all the units are privately owned and the property is freehold, so the owners all own the condominium property themselves. Those owners use the hotel as a leasing agent and the condos are not rented by the hotel as condos, but just as hotel rooms, with the kitchens blocked off!!! - So inconvenient! - We really do appreciate your comments and hope other enquirers also appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you have given us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

We had a great time in Barbados as always and really enjoyed our stay in your condo. We were looked after very well and the weather wasn't bad and we managed to do everything we wanted to. On leaving we always think of when we will get to return and hopefully it won't be too long! Thanks Ian and Gemma guest name: I & G Wilkinson guest city-state/province: Manchester UK

......we had an absolutely fantastic time!! The weather was very nice....we only had 2 days with rain and that was only for part of the day. We had plenty of sunshine, plenty of beach time, and above all plenty of time just relaxing on your magnificent balcony. What a spectacular view!!!!! We have tons of photos of beautiful sunsets! Loved the bands next door each evening! Your place was exactly what we needed; we mainly spent our time just relaxing with each other. Whenever we felt hot, we just hopped down into the ocean to cool off.....then back to more relaxing. Vita did a great job keeping the place tidy and Harold was our fall to guy to get us anywhere important. Pat was helpful and very nice. We loved the local restaurants....we went to Angry Annies, The Mews, Indigos (twice....loved the bruschetta), The Beach House, The Tides, Flindts, Raggamuffin's (Sunday night - lots of fun!). We also went to The Crane for a Sunday brunch with live gospel singers - we highly recommend that! We went to Speightstown for the day; Bridgetown for the day.....very crowded, but still fun; Oistins on Saturday night (wanted to avoid the Friday night crowds). We went to Earthworks Pottery and bought some very pretty pieces to bring home. We also had fun going to various art places. To finish the vacation, we spent our last day on a 5 hour catamaran cruise to swim with the turtles, snorkel around a couple of shipwrecks and have a Bajan style lunch. This last day was just fantastic and a great way end two glorious weeks in paradise!! Your place was so comfortable, your suggestions were so helpful, it all added up to be a wonderful anniversary celebration! You truly have a piece of paradise! Hopefully we will make a return visit and would love to stay at #1 Palm Beach again - we will also share your info with our friends. As we see the glimmer of retirement.... let us know if you ever decide to sell. guest name: D&K -guest city-state/province: W. Virginia USA

We had a fabulous holiday, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment. We will definitely be coming back again, Barbados is our most favourite place in the world. How fortunate you are to be able to spend 6 wonderful months a year there, but what a wrench when you have to tear yourself away. It was bad enough going home after 2 weeks! On the day we came home we were swimming in the sea outside PBC right up until 30 minutes before Harold came to pick us up. What a relaxing way to end our holiday. Just in case you were ever thinking of selling up, we would love to have the opportunity to put in a bid so please bear us in mind. Thanks again for allowing us to share your little corner of the world.

Pat was wonderful - We have some really interesting tales to tell now we are home. Veronica in apartment 7 invited us to a drinks party. Our son and daughter and grandaughter were staying in Discovery Bay and the kids did manage to swim with the turtles. We had some lovely meals in some of our favourite restaurants and found a couple of new ones. Thanks again. guest city-state/province: England

My thanks to you for sharing your winter home with me! The location was perfect for someone with no car—I could easily walk to the grocery store & many restaurants. Harold, Vita & Pat were all very pleasant. I spent my mornings on the beach & after lunch I sat by the pool. I had the best crepes ever at Spago, made with banana’s & Amaretto! Ragamuffin’s was also good, very nice owner made me feel comfortable. Flindt’s was the place to go for desserts! I bought one to go each morning for my evening snack! All was good at your place!! Thankyou again!

We had a wonderful time at your Condo and enjoyed all but two days of full sun. The last 3 days we had rented a car anyway, so the weather did not impact us and we were able to cover pretty much the whole island. Pat was very helpful. Other than that, the balcony was the best I view we have ever had and it was enjoyed morning and afternoon and night (free entertainment courtesy of Mango Bay) The restaurants were all very good as we ate out each night and sampled a variety of them and we hope to return soon. Thanks again, Tracy & Martin
