The villa is perfect in every way. The plunge pool was wonderful to have. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. We had coffee and breakfast on the veranda which is a nice touch! Hosts are a joy and our property manager and her wonderful husband are just steps away. We will be back!!!! We quickly considered the lovely property our home away from home!

We are so pleased that you have enjoyed your stay at El Vista again. Unfortunately Barbados is hotter this year due to climate change and we would recommend a car as it enables you to see so much more of the beautiful Island of Barbados.

A lovely place to stay

We stayed a week and had a lovely time. The local beach was our favourite on the island. Small pool was loved by the children and was needed sometimes when hot after walking up from beach. A couple of small shops between accommodation and beach was useful. Need car or bus to get to bigger supermarkets.A few local places to eat dotted around. We saw monkeys and hummingbirds from outside area.

Lovely place

We were more than pleased with our stay at el vista. The condo had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Any items of concern were dealt with immediately. I would say a vehicle is needed as the adjacent road is quite steep. We have already booked again for next year. Great staff.

Loved the little pool!

A lovely patio area with loungers, dining table and chairs, a plunge pool with a view of the sea. 7 mins walk to Thunder bay. A nice quiet beach with chairs to hire from a couple of small cafes. 2 comfortable bedrooms, a lounge/kitchen. Everything we needed was there. Spacious, clean and quiet. We really appreciated the flexible check-in /out, thank you.

Home from home

El Vista was such an amazing pick, it literally was home from home. It was well equipped and kids friendly. The view from the patio was so beautiful, definitely the best we've stayed in so far. Gail (property manager) was great welcoming us, even made sure we had breakfast ingredients for our first morning. Also, thank you to Fabian for cleaning the pool and also to Kimberly for helping us keep the apartment clean. Looking forward to staying there again in the future.

Another lovely stay at El Vista

El Vista is wonderfully situated, with views from the patio down the hill to the sea. It is on a road from the west coast that links to the main road going north/south. We have stayed here before, and our return visit speaks for itself. It is well equipped with ceiling fans throughout and air con in the bedrooms. Chilling out on the patio, there are beautiful birds to spot in the trees, and a couple of days we saw a huge frigatebird by the coast. We watched some naval ships manoeuvres, yachts, kite flying, beautiful sunsets. We visited Holetown and Speightstown by bus and hired a car for the last two weeks. We highly recommend El Vista.

Fantastic stay in paradise

We had a wonderful stay in Barbados and El Vista was the perfect base. The apartment had everything we needed and was a short walk from the beach and other amenities. We hired a car to get around but also made use of the ‘reggae buses’ which could easily be picked up on the main coast road. The blue ‘government bus’ stop was also close by. The local beach is stunning and has a beach bar and food available. There are other bars and restaurants in walking distance including Wafel Haus which does the most amazing brunch, Marcy’s, John Moore rum bar, Lower Carlton Variety Grille on a Friday and Saturday night etc. The plunge pool was a great way to cool off and there is also a small garden with extra loungers. I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a relaxing stay with a great view and easy access to everything the West coast has to offer.

Beautiful place

We had a really lovely time at this apartment. It is well decorated and has everything you need for a self catering holiday. We particularly liked laying on the sun beds on the patio watching the sun go down. We enjoyed breakfast there too. There is a little grocery shop close by and a bus stop at the end of the road. We used the buses alot, they are good fun for visiting towns close by. There is a great grocery store called Massey in a Holetown which has everything you need. The beach is within walking distance and it was one of our favourites on the island. We swam every day! The beach bar is also excellent. There is a lady (collect Simone) on the beach who cooks great food - jerk chicken etc. All in all a fabulous holiday - we will definitely be back! Thank you for letting us stay.

Brilliant location, brilliant property

Accommodation is simply prefect for 2 couples or a small family. Great plunge pool and patio area. Grass area for the children or adults. Whirly line for your washing, if you choose to do so, with washer and dryer on the premises. Great big fridge and freezer with ice trays (always a bonus) plenty of crockery, glasses etc. Microwave, big cooker and oven. Shower is great and we never needed to use the water booster for heat. Air conditioning in both bedrooms is excellent. Comfy beds and linen and towels are all good quality. Gail is a truely lovely lady and she will be there to meet and greet you, also happy to do some basic shopping for your first day if you need it. We shopped at Masseys in Holetown and it was really good store to use for all you need. There is plenty of safe parking if you choose to hire a car. We used Drive a Matic. Warning the roads have pot holes on pot holes, but dont let that put you off, its a beautiful island and you really need to explore BIG TIME. Thunder bay is just down the road so you simply need to go there (numerous times) we snorkelled out to the far left and right of the bay and then chilled in Simones or the other bars that are on the beach. ENJOY

El Vista is self catering at its best.

El Vista is a lovely apartment , its very clean and very comfortable , fully equipped with everything you could need for a self catering holiday , in fact you could say home from home. The bedrooms are air-conditioned which makes it very comfortable of a night time, theres a safe deposit box and wifi all included at no extra cost. Beautiful view from the patio , with a view of the sea and a view of the wooded area where if your lucky you might see a green monkey or two , as we did , very peaceful and quiet location apart from the occasional car that passes on the road beside the property but that wasn't an issue with us. The local beach is idilic with crystal clear water and white sand , its very safe for swimming and snorkelling with a coral reef just a short swim from the shore that is populated by lots of colourful marine fish , the beach is mainly used by a handful of friendly locals and has a small sandy carpark if you drive there. Shopping for food and provisions wasn’t a problem as there is several supermarkets a stones show away , the local store is at the bottom of the road in walking distance , although for the bigger ones a car is probably needed . Communications with the owners was second to none , we was in touch with them every step of the way and once we arrived in Barbados that continued with the help given by Rachel the property manageress . All in all we couldn’t fault this apartment and would definitely recommend to others and definitely stay again ourselves should the opportunity arise .
