Lovely 3 week stay

This was our 5th stay at Art Studios. The things that bring us back are fabulous location steps from the sea, wonderful staff that take care of everything needed and the sense of community with the people that stay here. We had a fabulous stay.

THE place to stay in Holetown

We stayed at Apt 14 for New Year. It was exactly as described with a cosy and homely feel and all amenities, including a large supermarket, were within a five minute walk. Exceptionally clean with amazing views of the sea from the terrace - great for watching the sun go down. And yes, you really are a few footsteps away from the beach. Heavenly for a quick dip to cool down! It was also a great place to watch the fireworks from the nearby hotel complexes. It's a really friendly complex and Meschel, Tonya and Michael are all friendly, professional and obviously take a great deal of pride keeping the complex and gardens so immaculate. We had fly catchers and sparrows and doves visiting us daily and humming birds, mongoose and fireflies were a regular sight. We even saw monkeys 😊 If you want an independent stay in Holetown with opportunity to put money into the local community rather than faceless hotel companies, you'd be hard pressed to beat Apt 14. It's certainly large enough for two people and when the weather was too hot, we moved the portable fan to the terrace and with the ceiling fan as well these were enough to allow us to people watch, watch the sea and wildlife in comfort. We're already saving our pennies to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Den and Gloria

We have been visiting Barbados for over 20 years and have loved staying at the Art Studios. There aren't many self-catering options this close to the beach on the West (Platinum) Coast - it's closer than many hotel rooms!

Why they chose this property

Apartment 14 is unique within the complex as it is the only one on two levels. The bedroom and bathroom are downstairs. The Kitchen / dining area and balcony with view towards the Caribbean are upstairs.
