This home on 2 acres is beautifully manicured and spacious. The staff is professional and not invasive to your privacy. They are there to be helpful and provide as many excellent meals as you wish. We learned a lot about Barbados from them - as this was a first time experience for some in the group.
The villa has 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms - a few with outdoor terraces - well appointed and cleaned immaculately - very simple in decor. The outdoor space, as well as indoor, for relaxing and dining. The very long pool between the house and the beach is perfectly warm - at least this time of the year, we were told it is heated during the "cooler" months.
Because everyone not only enjoyed the villa and its appointments, we wish to explore the island more so we are returning next year.
