relax and enjoy
If you are looking for a big resort; forget it. If you love great sunsets, a beautiful apartment and being with the locals then Judes place is for you. My wife and two mostly grown kids went with my wife and I. The little beach across the street was perfect. It even had a nice shade tree for me to relax under. The water was clear and cool. I even bought Jude a third noodle. In the mornings the kids would walk down a block and pick up fresh hot bread and buns from the local bakery. Mullins beach is about two miles away complete with beach chairs and food. Lots of nice people there. We found a great local fish market and lots of fresh fruits and vegies to make wonderful evening meals. Judes kitchen is fit for a master chef. Eating dinner and watching the beautiful sunsets ended the perfect days. We'll be back often. Bob Yeager (retired airline pilot).
Fantastic apartment in a fantastic location
We have just spent a week at Coco de Mer and absolutely loved it. The views are to die for and we could choose to either walk 5 minutes one way to a stunning beach with amazing snorkelling or 5 minutes the other way to the shops, restaurants and another sheltered bay. We will be back. We LOVED it.
A great time! What a way to see Barbados!
We were met on our arrival at Coco de Mer by Sarah, who did a great job of showing us around Jude's beautiful home! Well appointed with everything you can imagine, especially a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. Being an end unit, the penthouse is airy with sea breezes blowing through the side and end doors. This provided a perfect relief from the hot mid day sun after our daily outings.
We enjoyed great day trips using only the buses as transportation leaving from the bus terminal a block away from home base. The trips included the Animal Flower Caves at the north end of the island, Bathsheba on the Atlantic side and Bolador Catamaran tour out of Bridgetown.
The best snorkeling of the trip was right out front of the condo where, at one point, we swam alongside a sea turtle for about twenty minutes. Incredible!
Overall, a wonderful time, in a beautiful home, in an amazing country!
What a view!
My husband and I, along with our adult daughter, had a great stay at Coco de Mer in March.
Set over two floors, the apartment is spacious and cool with lots of useful amenities. The kitchen, in particular, is extremely well equipped.
The view from the terrace at sunset is completely beautiful. Although there is a restaurant currently under construction to the right of the building, this did not bother us as we were out during the daytime when any machinery was in action.
There were a few issues with internet while we were staying, but Jude was quick to sort these out and responsive at all times.
Speightstown is wonderful. It is quieter than other more touristy parts of the West Coast and a perfect place to relax. We did not have a car and were able to walk to lots of restaurants, beaches and bars. Lots of restaurants on the West Coast also offer an all inclusive taxi service (included in the price of the meal) if you wanted to venture further afield.
Overall, a great holiday with some fantastic memories. Would recommend and hope to come back in the future!
Coco de Mer is wonderful
We have had the most wonderful five weeks at Coco de Mer. It is in a fantastic location with a beautiful view and the sound of the sea. The apartment is the best equipped apartment we have stayed in and Jude, the owner, ensured that we had all we needed for a really comfortable stay. Many happy meals on the lovely balcony looking straight out over the Carribean. We have already booked to come back next year!
Better Than The Pictures Show
This place is absolutely amazing! The views are breathtaking, the condo is huge and has everything you could possibly want... 3 choices of dishware, which suits everything you could possibly cook. Lots of cutlery and kitchen gadgets, different glassware choices. I could tell this is someone's home. Thanks for letting us borrow it for a bit. The fans were great so we could enjoy the sounds of the sea and not end up all closed in while being so close by! The location was great - we were only 2 short blocks from the bus station which took us everywhere. A short walk along the shore took us to the fish market, the vegetable sellers, the grocery store and other spots as well. I beachcombed and found a liter of sea glass to take home. It seems to be plentiful at "your own private beach". A warning: there are now stonefish in the waters of Barbados. They are similar looking but very different to lizardfish. Don't step on one. They lie on the bottom and the one I saw was in about a meter of water. Wear beach shoes or flippers in the water. Back to the inside: Having the bedrooms separated meant good privacy. And with 3 full bathrooms all with showers (one with tub/shower) there was never a reason to wait. Rinse off area down in the car park was used daily and very handy. We met others staying in the building and we all agreed this is an excellent place to be. Wifi worked well. Tv didn't work when we were there. Didn't miss it. We were out and about a lot. There's a bookshelf with a lot of books waiting to be read on the chaise or on the beach, if you have the desire... or the time.
Map
Coco De Mer is located meters from the wonderful blue Sea with a beautiful deck where you can watch sunsets, stargaze sipping your champagne cocktail. This lovely 2 bed 3 bath corner property on West Coast BARBADOS is just North of historic Speightstown and the sound of the waves soothe your days and nights.
This is real Barbados with fruit and vegetables sold on the colorful streets. A small road runs between the white sand beach and the penthouse where you may see a turtle emerge from the ocean to lay her eggs. Port St Charles beach where priceless yachts are moored is 10 min away or relax on a sunbeds on our beach if you can bear to leave your own sundeck!. Sensational restaurants such as the cliff and Sandy Lane are located in a 5mile radius. The road to the east coast with breathtaking wild surf and natural beauty is easily accessible as is Mullins Beach. Supermarkets, Pharmacy, Banks and Restaurants are in walking distance as is the Orange Street Grocer a great place to dine!
Other Activities: Local hotel offers inexpensive day pass for water sports, golf, meals etc. Reefers and Wreckers Dive Shop is located a few minutes away!
Golf: Royal Westmoreland, Sandy Lane and Apes Hill are superb Golf Courses. Also the Barbados Golf Club further south.
I cannot emphasise enough the beauty of the East coast with its wild waves and salty winds blown in from miles away. A surfers paradise.. Not to be missed!
