Outside
The private gardens are full of tropical, colorful plants and fruit trees and are very well maintained by Harry. There is a communal area for all guests and there are also loungers within the gardens for some more private sunbathing. Perfect for relaxing in the afternoon, reading a good book and having a nap.
There is a barbeque area in the gardens at the back of the apartments, this can be used by all guests and can be very sociable if a few guests get together for the evening.
Coast/Beach
Just a few steps away from the apartment is the beach which is located between the Sandpiper hotel and Discovery Bay hotel. All beaches in Barbados are open to the public so even if the beach is in front of an exclusive hotel you are still entitled to be there.
There is a roped off area for swimming and snorkeling, which has a raft that you can swim out to and sunbathe on. There are also many activities available at the beach e.g. boat trips, jet skiing, diving trips etc.
Golf
The exclusive Sandy Lane golf course is 2 miles south down the Highway. There are several golf courses located all around the island within easy reach.
Travel
There is only one airport on Barbados - Grantley Adams International. It is about 40 mins from the apartment.
Transport on the island is excellent. There are buses that run up and down the main highway and further a field. They run from early morning to late at night $1.50 per journey and normally very entertaining especially if you choose the yellow bus option.
There is a taxi rank located in the Discovery Bay hotel next door and lots of choice for hiring cars locally.
Distances
The centre of Holetown is 5-10 minutes walk.
Speightstown is 6 miles away and Bridgetown is 7 miles away and easy to get to on the bus.
The island is small and can be driven from top to bottom and side to side in a relatively short time period.
Further details
The local shopping centre has a well equipped supermarket and a few duty free shops. There is a post office opposite the shopping centre. For more shopping Bridgetown is best. Swan Street and Broad Street are best for duty free bargains.
There are some fantastic restaurants and bars in Holetown primarily on First and Second Street but also along the main road. Our website has more details on local restaurants and restaurant a little further away. The website also has some susgested excursions during your stay in Barbados.
