Royal Palm, on the Beach, Penthouse Suite

Perfect location

Can't fault the view overlooking Browne's Beach, Carlisle Bay.Probably had more local noise than usual during our stay due to a B/H (National Heroes Day).I would recommend for those with walking difficulties to pick the ground floor apartment as the steps are a little steep.Public transportation is dead easy as bus stops in either direction are steps away.De Famous Bird Bar is literally a 3 minute walk away.Gregory the host lives on the premises and is both friendly and helpful without being intrusive ( there if you have questions or problems).

The apartment is exactly as described although more spacious than you would expect. It is spotless and contains everything you need for your stay. The beach front location is excellent and the provision of beach loungers and a parasol is real bonus. Nolan sets up every day, he is a lovely man and he really looks after you. The area is good, it’s quiet but there are nearby places to eat within walking distance. Táxis and ZRs stop nearby so the island is accessible without a hire car. Grocery options are limited within walking distance but there are two small stores less than 5mins on foot for essentials. Greg the owner is extremely helpful with information and advice, overall we would definitely choose to go back.

My wife and I enjoyed a week at this location in early December 2016. We rented the Penthouse Suite and it is everything it promises to be and more. The "more" being the service that the is provided by the owner manager!We chose this location as we wanted to be close to the start of the Barbados Marathon. You couldn't get closer than this, as the event takes place on the Esplanade which is just next door to this vacation rental. Yet, the soundproofing of this building is so good that you wouldn't know that a sporting event is taking place just outside of your accommodations! The pictures provided with this property are exactly as portrayed. As are all of the extra's that are mentioned; the umbrellas, the BBQ, the deck chairs. Upon arrival, there was also a bottle of wine waiting for us to enjoy which was most appreciated. Both of the bedrooms are air conditioned, the floors are all nicely tiled and the best area of all is the huge open air terrace. (The air conditioning is nice to have but we found we didn't really use it a lot as the air here is so nice.) The furnishings are all modern and very up to date. There is a safe in the room, Bluetooth accessories and a big screen TV....not that we used these that much either as we were always at the beach or out seeing the sights. Also, power is available for both North American and European travelers which I find is a very nice feature. Shopping and eating out are just short walks and/or bus rides away. There is really no need for a car when you stay here. Besides, the short walk out your door and to the beach is where you'll probably be spending most of your time. The beach here is tremendous and it truly is where all of the snorkel tour companies come to look for turtles. The water was always calm, clear, completely safe and yes, there were turtles present.We will certainly return here the next time we come to Barbados! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay!
