A great place, great location and great hospitality

We returned from a wonderful 2 week stay in East and West Villa. We loved everything about it, Carlton was there to greet us on our arrival and from then on was on hand if we had any concerns or questions. The villa's are spacious, the pools are lovely and the location makes for a great holiday on a great island.

Quiet and relaxing but close to shopping & beach

Everything was as described and very well organized. Pool is lovely. The only thing broken was the air conditioner in the second bedroom.

Great location...near beach, shops,resturants...villa layout very nice and spacious. Property manager very friendly and readily available. Some updates needed (larger beds in all rooms, shower faucets, air conditioning noise and cooking pots/utensils, housekeeper duties). Would definitely stay there again

Perfect Getaway

Carlton - thanks so much for a wondeful place to relax and enjoy family time. The villa was kid friendly (pool and beach toys too!) and we walked to dinner on the beach every night. I would highly recommend this to couples or families. The car rental worked great - we drove to some great places, the Nature Reserve and Harrisons Cave were our favorites, and the west coast beaches were terrific. We all can't wait to come back!

This was our first holiday in Barbados. Our party was four people and we all really enjoyed our stay at Lascelles. Carlton was super host and couldn't have been more helpful. East Pool Villa was perfect for our needs. very quite clean and spacious.

Simply amazing villa

From start to finish Mr Jordan and his staff was amazing. Always responsive, rental car was very convenient, the villa was clean and as pictured and had cold water and banks beer waiting on us which is great local beer. The pool was simply amazing to have when you aren't in the mood for sand and the outside shower was handy especially coming back from the beach which is in walking distance. I will for sure return again.

Paridise in Barbados

This was the first trip to Barbados. Much to our surprise was the condo we rented from Carlton. The unit is beautiful and Carlton has been a great person to deal with right from the beginning. A second visit will be a must for the future. Lyle & Sandy

Ideal Vacation Villa

A wonderful place to stay, near to Holetown activity, shopping, restaurants, a comfortable local beach, and yet a peaceful serene oasis to return to in the evening. Carlton is a wonderful host, always present if needed but never intrusive. The Vida Mejor Villa has a lovely secluded pool surrounded by lush gardens; the interior is very spacious and easily accomodated our family of 4 with enough extra space that we never felt cramped. Kids loved the high speed internet. When we return to Barbados, we will without doubt return.

Another fantastic holiday at Vida Mejor Villa

We had another fantastic time in Carlton's villas. We had both the West and East pool villas. It was perfect for a family of 10. The villas are very spacious and accommodated us perfectly. Both are very well maintained and in immaculate condition. They are situated in a quiet neighbourhood, but very hand for the beach, supermarket, bars and restaurants in Holetown. We will definately be returning next year! Bliss! Drew Ruthven and family, Carluke, Scotland

wonderful vacation at Vida Mejor Villa

We have been going to Barbados for the last 5 years and have been staying three years at the same villa, and we will most certainly be going back. The villa is impeccable and has all the comfort you can expect, a beautiful garden gives you privacy to refresh in the pool and the owner Carlton and Peggy take good care of their visitors, always available and making sure we have all that we need. The villa is in Jamestown Park in Holetown, at a walking distance to the beach, shopping center, restaurants and a beautiful chattel village in which you can find real treasures! You will not go wrong if you rent one of the Vida Mejor Villas!

Excellent stay

We spend our Honeymoon at Vida Mejor Villa. Lots of Privacy and very comfortable. Every other day a maid service that is very helpfull and friendly. It is only a short walk to Holetown and the Marine reserve. Everything is taken care of in a friendly and helpfull way and there's is no need to worry about a thing. Beeing Dutch we liked the fact that we got lot's of good quality space, with a private pool, at a much better price then an average hotel room. Go visit the website and enjoy yourself!!!! We will definetely come back.

Perfect Holiday

Carlton, First of all our holiday in Barbados at Vida Mejor was Perfect! The Best Ever! We have been travelling south for 23 years and this Tops them all! Your Villas are emmaculate, clean, spacious, well located -just far enough from the beach to make you walk three minutes per day. The ammenties near by speak for themselves - the grocery store, gas station, bank, post office, and fabluous restaurants, shops etc. We have already booked in for two weeks next year and we are counting the days already. Thank You and hope to see you soon. Paul, Darlyne and Jordyn - Nova Scotia, Canada

Paradise in Paradise!

This is the 3rd time I have stayed in one of Carlton's houses (Feb. 2005, Feb. 2006, Feb. 2008) and have to say that not only are the properties beautiful and well-maintained; Carlton is also a very pleasant and attentive landlord and makes sure that his guests are happy in his houses. If there is an item a guest feels would make the house more comfortable (like kitchen utensils, CD player, etc) he makes sure that it is provided. It is wonderful to be in a place like Barbados and have the comforts of home to really relax. It is also great not to have to go out for every meal; the well-equipped kitchen is great for preparing meals and the shopping centre is just a short walk away. I will gladly go back, any time.

Loved it !!!!

My family and I stayed at poolside and east pool villas and honestly cannot complain about anything aside from the perfect location in Holetown and everything being so close ... The villas accommodations were great. Carlton greeted us at 5am as we arrived early; he gave us a detailed tour of the property and was there responding to all inquires if needed. He even went as far as letting us know what crop over events would be taking place while we were in town. Carlton was able to accommodate us on such short notice and the process from reserving and renting the villa to arriving and departing was seamless. I would recommend this villa to anyone looking to stay in Holetown and will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to Barbados. Thank again Carlton!

East pool villa July/Aug 2007

Hi Carlton, arrived home safely a few hours ago. Very tired but holding lots of fabulous memories. Your villa was outstanding and perfect in every way. We desperately want to return next year so we will have to do some money calculations and get back to you. Thankyou for the hospitality shown from yourself and your family. It was second to none. You are a nation of beautiful people and should be proud of it. We had a warm welcome everywhere we went. Thanks again and hope to see you around the same time next year. Speak soon. Jane, Terry, Tricia and Steve. x

Relax in Paradise

Hi Carlton, We talked about how our days are stressful when you are growing a business and a practice at the same time. My wife Tana and I sought a vacation where we could just relax, away from tourist venues but close to cafe's, and clubs. A place we could stay and streach out by the pool or walk to the beach for an afternoon swim. So we spent a week at your villa doing just that. We enjoyed the food and entertainment within a few short blocks of our vacation home and we enjoyed rising in the morning to a cup of coffee, a short dip in the pool and reading a book on the patio. Your location provided us just the right amount of relaxation and excitment. The people of Barbadoes are friendly, always smiling and greeting you on the street with a pleasant hello. We felt right at home at your lovely villa. We have pictues of the humming birds in our vacation album! We will be back. John and Tana

Wonderful restful holiday

The Villa is well located away from the main road but near enough to the beach, restuarants and nightlife. Literally a five minute walk. The pool was very refreshing but not too cold not to enjoy and was kept well maintained and cleaned throughout stay. The Villa was also serviced by a lovely lady (Peggy) who cleaned and changed bed linen etc on a regular basis. The villa has an alarm system which does not require keys to lock nad secure villa. This was helpful when you want to go jogging as you dont need to take a key with you! The villa also has a large enough safe to keep your valuables in including camera equipment etc. My only comment would be and has been suggested to the pleasant owner is that it is in need of a little cosmetic surgery! I mean a paint job on the outside and a few very minor repair jobs internally. I would most definitely rent this villa again.

Our stay out Vida Mejor - Waterfall

My wife and I have 4 children under the age of 9 and we can safely say that this villa was absolutely perfect. Not only was the villa well maintained, clean and with all the facilities you would expect in a hotel, Carlton, the owner and manager is a smashing fellow and certainly ensures that your needs are more than catered for. He is the epitome of world class customer service and nothing was too much trouble for him. In fact we couldn't find a 7 seater vehicle to rent on the island and Carlton not only bought one, the car was excellent and suited our family needs. The Villa is located close to the local beech in Holetown in a very safe and friendly neighbourhood, there's a shopping mall about 10 minutes slow walk away and Carlton can put you in touch with the people who run the amenities at the beech. I can safely say it's a home from home and I knew it would be excellent as my relatives who live in Barbados have used the villa when they have a staycation. We would definitely recommend this villa to any friend or relative. Chris and Katie Cummins.

West Pool Villa

Hi Carlton, Just wanted to thank you again for a fantastic and relaxing holiday 14 FEB - 01 MAR 2009. The villa, pool and tropical gardens are beautiful and well maintained. Our host, Carlton, was always available and looked after any arrangements we might desire including dinner reservations, catamaran cruising and local sight seeing. The villa is very modern and has every possible convenience you could imagine. The house keeper, Mary, was very thorough and friendly to talk to. The villa is as described. Within a short 4 minute walk to the beach and within a 10 minute walk to the centre of town where you will find everything you might require. There is no need for a car. There are some great restaurants, beach view, within a short walk. The villa setting is very private and quiet. Again, Carlton looked after all are needs. He was just great! All and all, a fantastic vacation and location. We highly recommend it and would certainly return in the future. Kind regards Mar & Bruce

Amazing Experience at Vida Mejor - Waterfall Pool

We found this rental on Home Away and had a very positive experience. I contacted Carlton the owner and he got back to me right away answering all my questions. The Villa is located right in Holetown just a few minutes from the beach, restaurants and shopping at Limegrove. Carlton arranged our pick up at the sirport and was there to greet us and orient us to the Villa. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage girls). The Villa was perfect and had everything we wanted and needed. It was really clean and Carlton dropped by in the mornings to check on things and to clean the pool which was great because if we had any quesitons, we always had someone to ask! The private pool was a definite must!! We loved it! We spent our mornings lazing around the pool and went out and about in the afternoon. We ended back by the pool later in the afternoon and then out to supper each night! It was a perfect arrangement! Carlton arranged for a car rental for us for three days and he did all the paperwork etc right at the Villa so it was very convenient for us! I really think this Villa is an excellent choice for familiies wanting something other than hotel rooms etc...
