This was our second stay at the villa and the property is even nicer now than it was on our first stay 2 years ago.
The yard is even more beautiful now with the addition of lighting and a walkway, you have to see it in the evening to really appreciate it. The balcony area, which was already my favourite part of the house, got even better with the addition of ceiling fans. We spent a lot of time relaxing there and having a leisurely breakfast or reading, enjoying the breeze and the daily routine of the neighbourhood. With such attention to detail and comfort, it’s easy to see that this is a very well maintained property. I felt as if I was staying at a friend’s home, it was so relaxing and comfortable.
As on my first stay, I really appreciated having the second bathroom and the laundry facilities. The kitchen is bright and well equipped, the beds are comfortable and the villa is a short walk to the beach on Paynes Bay, or to the road where you can catch a bus if you wish to visit another beach or attraction. The property managers checked in with us regularly to make sure that we had everything we needed. They were so kind and helpful.
Being in this Barbadian neighbourhood gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in Barbados. It is a beautiful, safe, friendly area close to the beach, restaurants and bus service. We ate more than once at Marshalls bar, a short drive from the villa on Holders Hill, where we got delicious meals with generous portions prepared with care for a very reasonable price. It’s a popular place for cricket fans and one of my favourite places to eat.
Turtles is a perfect place to wind down and relax in Barbados. The villa is a great base if you want to go out and see the island, but it’s also a great place to just sit around and relax. You can cook your own meals or get some local takeout, a bottle of rum or whatever you like, and sit on that fantastic veranda and enjoy the wonderful Bajan breeze. I definitely plan on returning.
