About the host
Hosted by Cecily and Ian Jones
We are Cecily and Ian, a British/Baijan couple currently living between south-east London, Jamaica and Barbados. We believe that our guests should enjoy their stay with us without interference, but when we are around we are happy to answer any questions, recommend places to visit, pick up groceries and deal with any problems. When we are not around our agent, Trudi, can meet and greet and deal with any issues.
Why they chose this property
What makes Somnia different from other properties is its homely but comfortable feel and its quiet, secluded location. It definitely does not have the soulless hotel feel of many apartments we have stayed at. This means that you can enjoy the peace and serenity of what feels like a rustic setting, yet the bars, beaches and nightlife are close by when you want them.
Barbados holds special significance for us because Cecily was born here - in the "Scotland district", so-called because it is the hilly part of the island. We have have visited many times and spend as much time on the island as we can. Although Barbados is small, there are still many places that we have not yet visited and other places that have changed over the years and are worth a second, third or fourth visit. Some attractions that we believe you will never tire of are the Atlantis submarine trip, St Nicholas Abbey, Harrison's Caves, Hunte's Garden and any boat trip involving rum punch, excellent food and swimming with the turtles. We believe that you too will want to come back, once you have experienced the island.
What makes this property unique
Somnia's location is a perfect compromise between the bustle and noise of a beach front property and something more secluded and tranquil. From here you can conveniently enjoy all the amenities and activities that the island has to offer. What makes Barbados different from many other Caribbean islands is that it is comparatively well-developed but it is still Caribbean in the most important ways: the climate, the sunsets, the beaches, the rum punch, the food and the welcoming spirit of the people. Barbados is also very accessible with frequent direct flights from North America, Europe and the UK.
