Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Family vacation in Barbados
We were a family of 4 adults who totally enjoyed the island and our stay at Glitter Bay. We stayed in the Twin Palms villa, it was very spacious and very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The outdoor deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening meals. Christina was very responsive to any of our questions and offered to book our catamaran sail. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Never Fails!
Just returned from another two week break at Twin Palms. Thanks to Christina for her usual impeccable organisation and arrangements. Thanks to Chauntel, our wonderful, friendly and cheerful Housekeeper, for her kind help and assistance during our stay.
The apartment has been refurbished ( yet again ) to maintain the excellent standards of decor, practicality and overall ambience.
Every description of Twin Palms is accurate and in my opinion, understated. It truly is an excellent place to stay when visiting Barbados.
We look forward to returning to Twin Palms again next January for another wonderful holiday experience.
Thanks to all concerned
Really nice condo.
A great place to stay Barbados. Our group was four adults and we never felt crowded. Kitchen small but efficient and well equipped. Chantell (maid) is a sweetheart. Beds were comfy. A short walk to the pool or beach, neither of which were overcrowded in eary February. Christine (property manager) is very helpful. There is a beach/pool concierge that dispenses towels, assigns beach chairs and answers any questions or can provide recommendations. There are beach towels in the condo for times when you want to explore other beaches or take in a boat ride. In short: a very comfortable base to explore a lovely island, or just relax in the complex's comfy beach lounge chairs looking out over the ocean. All four of us had a great, relaxed stay.
One bit of feedback: the Smeg brand appliances were a bit of a mystery at first for us Americans, and some of the button-labels on the microwave were faded, so there was some guessing and fumbling in the kitchen at first. A user guide in a kitchen drawer would have been helpful. Totally nit-picking here, the place totally deserves the 5-star rating. (After using these appliaces for a week, I am wondering if they are available in the States. Dishwasher is as quiet as a mouse.)
Exceeded all expectations
We have just retuned from a fantastic 2 week holiday staying at Twin Palms. This really is a fantastic appartment in a perfect location. The photos represent the appartment well but if anything it was bigger and better that we expected. The rooms are spacious, terrace fantastic with and the appartment is equipped with everything you need. The robes were a nice touch that we appreciated. The housekeeper Chauntel is great and the ensures that appartment is always immaculate. The Glitter bay grounds/pool/beach are maintained to a high standard and the allocation of loungers and parasols for the duration of the stay was great, as was being able to collect towels on a daily basis from the concierge desk. Glitterbay is situated on a lovely long stretch of beach that was never busy. There are a number of good value beach bars along the beach, all are very good for lunch or a drink. We visited a couple of other beaches but they weren't a patch on Glitter bay. Glitter bay is also well located for accessing the restaurants and shops in Holetown which are a short taxi ride away, although we tended to stop a bus at the gate as they were so frequent and took you in in minutes for $1US. I would highly recommend this appartment, it is ideal for a family or group of friends. Anoushka and Christiana (property managers) were really helpful and everything went smoothly through the booking process and our stay. I'm sure this will not be our last visit to Glitter bay.
Lovely modern apartment
Lovely apartment, exactly like the photographs. We'd seen some other properties in Glitter Bay which were starting to look a bit tired, Twin Palms was however really modern, bright and airy. The booking process was faultless with Anoushka and Christina keeping us updated with all we needed to know. The housekeeper Chauntel kept the property spotless every day and even did our laundry for us. The balcony was a lovely area to sit with a drink and soak up the view after a hard day at the beach ! We had a great stay for a special occasion.
A relaxing and beautiful place to stay
We can't speak highly enough about Twin Palms, the accommodation has been furnished to a very high standard with lots of thought to the décor, the pool is a very tranquil place to relax during the day (and teach our little one to sleep) and the beach has to be the best in Barbados (we stayed in Payne's Bay last time around). And if that's not enough Chantelle and Christina looked after every need and provided great local advice. See you again soon (we hope!)
