We stayed in the Weston House from April 1-8, 2017, and found the house in excellent condition, spotlessly clean, and perfect for a multigenerational gathering. The pool is perfect for floating and staying cool, and the ocean literally right outside the gate is beautiful. Deborah and Wendy were wonderful, and they attended to our every need. They are happy to serve up fresh fish from the market just a block away making the best food on the island served on the veranda with lovely evening views of the ocean. It is a pleasure to give a big THANK YOU to Deborah who stayed up to greet us at the house at 2 AM upon arrival as our flight had been delayed by 4 hours. Was that a huge relief!!
Things to do that we all loved: 1) Snorkeled out behind the house as well as rented a private boat from Rupert (friend of Deborah) who picked us up behind the house in his boat and we saw turtles, a shipwreck, many fish, stingrays, and coral, 2) Went to Andromeda Garden on the west side followed by a picnic at a park near the Soup Bowl and watched the surfers (very, very beautiful), 3) Went to the North End to Animal Flower Cave and hiked along the cliffs watching the waves crash violently against rocks followed by a trip to Little Bay to see the Blow Holes (Very Cool!), 4) Hung around the Weston House and drank several cases of lovely Rose', Chablis, Red Burgundy, and Rhones purchased from Wine World just 10 minutes from the house, 5) and to make all Caribbean Trips complete we visited the Mount Gay Rum factory and really enjoyed that as well!
Barbados is a lovely island with beautiful water and plentiful fish. It is very safe and we found all the people friendly and gracious. There are all the amenities to make for a stress free vacationing. And what was really surprisingly wonderful was that there were NO MOSQUITOS on the island anywhere. None of our group got bitten by any insects at any time which is quite different from most of our trips to the Caribbean. Finally, the best place to see the monkeys was at the Weston house as they seemed to drop in for happy hour most days. Usually we saw a couple of them, but a couple times there were 4-5.
This was a great trip! I would love to come back! Thanks again, Deborah!!!
