This is the first time I have had to write a negative review of the property. The host was not accommodating at all. First of all there were extremely steep stairs that were not mentioned and no one to assist us in getting our luggage up the stairs. When we complained she finally got someone to carry our luggage. The rooms were clean but not outstanding. There were two bathrooms but one of the toilets did not work. We would have left if not for the fact we only stayed one night.
Direct beach access is a big plus. Surroundings include heavy traffic main road, a lot of noise from there, not much to do, no walking trails, one or two restaurants. Accommodation requires urgent attention, needs to be up renovated. Place was not clean, the owners must clean up their apartment for future guests.
Couldnât be closer to the beach! Hosts very helpful and accommodating! Only downside was finding the apartment initially as the sign was missing. The real seller was the included beach beds they set up for us every day.Came home and immediately booked to return next year..
My family recently spent a night at Madelineâs and Williamâs place on Payneâs Bay. The location was great, right on one of the best beaches in Barbados. Itâs also close to many restaurants and bars and close to Holetown.Madaline as excellent at keeping in touch leading up to our stay and William was equally as good to welcome us and ensure that we settled in well.Having sun loungers ready for us on the beach was lovely touch, so to was the flexibility for checkin and check out. The apartment is basic, however, it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony out to sea was also lovely. There is a bar and restaurant between the apartment and the beach. Great for drinks and light meals and snacks. Worth noting that the noise level was not too bad, with music played during the day time.Thanks again Madaline and William. Great meeting you!
Quaint property, located in Paynes Bay. Thereâs a small beach bar and grill located on the property which is perfect to have lunch. Walking distance to a few restaurants and easy to access cabs or public transportation. Owners are quick to respond to requests. Hidden gem!
Had a great stay, awesome location and the staff was super friendly and helpful. William even drove me to the store and waited for me to shop the first night I arrived and drove me to the airport so i didn't have to take the bus when I left.
We stayed for only one day but Madaline made it very special for us. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location of the house is right at the beautiful beach. It is a true homely experience away from home. Would highly recommend this place.
It is very nice to be able to walk out the door and be only a few steps to the beach or watch the sunset from the balcony. The apartment is basic in its furnishings, but comfortable. William was helpful in looking after a couple of things and we enjoyed talking with him. The beach restaurant was convenient to have on site, providing various items for our use. Overall, it is not as fancy as other accommodations might be, but is reasonably priced.
We enjoyed our vacation in Barbados. The location is excellent(on the beach), and the hosts, Madaline and William, are great peopleâready to help at any given moment. Every morning, we had 2 chairs on the beach awaiting us. There is a small playground for kidsâwe use it all the time for our granddaughter, 2 years old. The grocery store is near there, and there are lots of restaurants around. Gazebo offers food and drinks if you prefer to avoid cooking.
We had a great time there.
We had a great time at paynes bay. Madaline and William are very kind and helpfull. We could use the sunbeds of the beachbar while waiting for our check-in time. In the first day William took us to the supermarket as we had no Rental car. The approximity of the beach and the bar with a simple but good meal or drinks is just the thing you want for a holiday in Barbados. The kitchen is wel equiped and the beds are better than at home. I can highly recommend this apartement to anyone.
The two bedrooms gave ample space for our family of four and as described by others Madeleine, William and Alison were very helpful & friendly.
The air conditioner in the bedrooms worked well. Addressing other reviews, the place could maybe do with a lick of paint and one of the bathrooms had a strong sulphur smell but the location right in the middle of Paynes Bay is excellent. The beach chairs set up on the beach for us every day, just yards from the back door made everything so easy.
The apartment was clean, well maintained and in a fabulous location. Steps from the beach, close to restaurants and the owners were very helpful with all our questions.
We would recommend this property.
This apartment is run by a lovely local family. Theyâre very helpful and friendly. The location is superb, right on Paynes Bay, a few metres away from the sea :) the kitchen has all you need, the bedrooms have air-conditioning. Iâd say pretty perfect! We will definitely come back.
Madeline & William were fantastic hosts, we loved our stay it was relaxing the location is amazing and we had sun beds put out for us daily.
We hope to return soon.
When you stay in this apartment you are truly in Barbados next to the beach. You intermingle with the natives who are very kind and helpful especially William the owner who took care of our needs. Nice man. Great place. We would return.
The apartment is meters from the beach my son in law cooked breakfast for me everyday that we had on the balcony overlooking the Caribbean it had too good sized bedrooms with a bathroom each a well stocked bar on the beach with hot and cold food all the staff were very friendly and helpful with a sense of humour
hope to be back in September , thank you all for making us welcome. Keith UK .
William and Madeline went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We checked in at supper time and William even drove us to a nearby restaurant and returned to pick us up afterwards.
In the morning, the bar and grill on the beach behind the property provided a great place for some delicious food and drinks.
Weâd love to return and stay longer !
Madalane and Copper were great hosts. Copper drove us to the grocery store when we arrived. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas for their guests.When the fridge broke they replaced it the same day. They run a small beach bar and restaurant by the apartment which was very good and reasonably priced. The beach is excellent for swimming. We used the bus to get around, they come very frequently. We had a great time.
