Dissapointing
I stayed for 3 weeks in Barbados at this property. It is really only a large hotel room with ensuite bathroom. Sadly it is interconnected by a locked door to another room. This was occupied during most of my stay by families with babies and children and was extremely noisy at night with babies crying. I also have to say the property was not as described in the
' Notes' section of the description on the site. It does not have a washer/dryer as stated. The very small. kitchen area had 2 knives 2 forks 2 plates and 2 cups. and 2 glasses, 2 pans and minibar sized fridge. I merely mention this in case anyo
ne is hoping for a full kitchen as is usually the case with properties advertised on Homeaway. I ate out most of the time. This property is in a Time Share hotel Hotel which is rather isolated from the rest of the Island. so you would need a car or be prepared to take taxis everywhere. However the grounds of the resort are very very nice. several pools, and what would normally be a very lovely beach. This is covered with sargassum smelly seaweed which is brought in by the Atlantic tide. They do not have this problem on the Carribean side of the Island. This has been deposited on the beach since 2008 according to the people I spoke with. The Hotel offers really 7 day cheap packages from Canada and the US and is now being run by Hilton Grand Vacations.
Barbados surprised me as the people on the Island are very poor the Island is in need of TLC especially the roads and the there are only a few beaches which have not been seriously eroded by the sea. I met some lovely Barbadian people when I was there, but sadly I do not think I would return in the very near future. The new prime minister has a long job ahead of her after the corruption of the last ten years. To be fair this has nothing to do with the property but I thought I would just provide a fair general picture of my stay over 3 weeks.
