Vida Mejor--Poolside (Private Pool)

We stayed at Vida Mejor East Pool for 9 days in March of 2022. Our reason for this pick was a combination of the pool, clean looking villa, ability to have 2 master bedrooms and location in holetown. To say we were happy with our choice is an understatement! We were welcomed warmly by Carlton and Peggy, who had the villa ready for us well before our arrival. Carlton was communicative, prompt and courteous from the moment of booking through the finialization of our stay. The villa is clean and air conditioned throughout, which was a very pleasant surprise. The pool was clean and well maintained, along with the seating area outside, which we used every day. Having on site laundry facilities and a fully stocked kitchen made the stay so easy. There is a fantastic supermarket and gas station within 3-5 minutes of walking from the villa. Also within 3-5 minutes are PLENTY of amazing restaurants, bars and luxury retail shopping. The beaches are also 3 minutes of walking away and are in my opinion some of the best on the island. I definitely suggest going to Zaccios for dinner and sundowners while having a swim. Carlton and his team also provide car rentals, which we rented a very convenient hybrid hatchback that sipped gas and allowed us to tour the island. Carlton, Thank you and your team for everything, you guys provide a wonderful experience and we can not wait to return to Vida Mejor!!

I’ve just returned from Barbados where I stayed at this villa for the 1st time, and it certainly won’t be my last! My family decided to spend our Christmas holiday on the west coast and were fortunate enough to have found this villa. We absolutely enjoyed our stay there. Carlton was amazing all the way through from initial contact to checking out. His communication was excellent, as well as his advice. We stayed in East Pool Villa (1 of 4 villas). We found it to be very comfortable, spacious and perfect for a family. The villa had everything needed for a holiday and did not disappoint. The location was excellent. 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach, major supermarket, restaurants and bars and Limegrove Mall. Although we hired a car through Carlton (Holetown Car Rental), everything is so close that you could easily get by without one. Zaccios, Jus Grillin and Sea Cat were our nearby favourite restaurants! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in East Pool Villa and look forward to returning again later in 2022. Thanks again Carlton for everything!!!

It’s in a perfect location close to beach, shops, bars and restaurants. The bus stop is just around the corner. Beautiful birds in the garden and the occasional visit from the monkeys. Carlton was very helpful and we look forward to going back. Thank you Carlton, Peggy and Sarina for everything.

The villa was nice and spacious and in an excellent location. The pool was nice and clean, and it was quiet outside (once the neighbours had gone out) Loved the Christmas tree and was so pleasantly surprised by the personal touch of a present. Fresh flowers too, made the place feel like home. Carlton was very responsive, friendly, well mannered and an asset to the property. The media were very good, with large TV, DVD player and cable TV. Nice undercover area on patio, so you can be outside if it rains and also shaded from the sun. The downside to this villa was the office right underneath our villa; this was just noisy (and this was at Christmas and New Year too). The office door kept slamming so hard that it rattled through our villa, open from about 7am, lots of people talking outside our front door, stamping of feet up the steps. We also had a couple of people ring our door bell to ask where Carlton was. They did not realise where the office was and what was a villa. This all need better planning. Running multiple businesses from this office also let to more disturbances. Vacuuming of cars for hire right outside the villa return as well as accountancy clients. Sadly, not much can be done about noisy neighbours, however as two of them live permanently in their apartment, may a polite chat could be had. Room for improvement We felt that the property was rather dated in places and needed some general maintenance and more accessories. One half of toaster was broken There were no wires plugged into TV initially, so we had to connect everything ourselves. The pool area needs tidying. It just looked scruffy. Furniture scattered everywhere, no neatly stacked, old lounger covers thrown over the fence. Rocks, coins and pegs just left on the window sills. Didn’t look like this area had been tidies for a while. The kitchen equipment was a mix of new and missing. There was a lack of food preparation items; eg mixing bowls, storage containers such as Tupperware, baking/casserole dishes. There were minimal plates and mugs; only 4 of everything (odd as this villa should sleep 6) There were no trays to take items to pool, which is where we lived for the week. Overall this is a great villa, but has been let down by the noisy office and the general upkeep of the property.
