Wonderful location and a perfect view. Ideally situated for access to the beautiful West Coast. The apartment was lovely and we would like to thank Gina & Ian for their hospitality. Please can we come back next year ?. Best bits - our anniversary dinner at Bagatelle Great House - they really made us feel special. Excellent food and superb service. Snorkelling over the reef at Folkestone. Worst bit - having to leave!

Quite simply Barbados is one of the most stunning holiday locations on the planet. Crystal clear sea, perfect beaches, fabulous views, marvellous weather, excellent surfing, friendly people, Oistins, Bathsheba, Crane Beach, Speightstown, flying fish cutters, soused breadfruit. You wouldn't want to miss any of these things.

Christmas was a wonderful time to be in Barbados! We forgot the dreary English weather and enjoyed the brilliant sunshine which makes the sea sparkle. Many of the beaches have palms growing on them if you need shade from the mid day sun as I did and spider crabs scuttle about.

We hired a car and managed to tour most of the island. The contrast between the east and west coast is fascinating. The east is reminiscent of the south west coast of England with its huge rollers and surf (but much warmer!), while the west coast is how one expects tropical beaches to be. None of the beaches were crowded at this time of year.

It’s difficult to choose a favourite place on the island. The wild animal reserve is great for getting close to nature. Many of the animals wander around at will and the monkeys leave during the day and return in the evening.

St. Lawrence Gap is good for restaurants and night time activity. Cocomos in St James is great for lunch over looking the beach. The best supermarket we found was at Warrens. It has a wider choice than the local supermarket, but don’t try to shop in a hurry! Life moves at a leisurely pace here.

The apartment has a lovely setting with a great variety of trees and wildlife. We went to bed to the sound of the whistling frogs and awoke to birdsong.

Gina and Ian were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. This was a holiday we will long remember.

Shirley & John (UK - November 2006)

Shirley and I found on arrival in Barbados, Ian & Gina very helpful and informative. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. Nearing the end of our holiday we wished we had the hire car for longer to see more of beautiful Barbados!

We found buses to be cheap and cheerful @ $1.50 anywhere on the island, they were however infrequent due to no timetable and a laid back attitude but we still liked them. The Supermarkets are well stocked slightly over priced but we have found the same in Brit holiday resorts elsewhere. we gather that nightlife can be found at St. Lawrence Gap and in Bridgetown but as we did not go we can't say!

Thanks once more, John & Shirley Thomas, Milton Keynes UK

I used this self contained, self catering apartment in St James, whilst out on business in the Caribbean. I could not have asked for a more comfortable home from home environment - clean, light, modern. Everything I needed was accommodated for including unlimited access to the internet, which allowed me to work uninterrupted.

Ian and Gina were always obliging and available for any queries about the island, travel, etc, and undoubtedly made my stay ultimately the smoothest and best I could have wished for with my busy schedule.

I would recommend this accommodation as the ideal for business or leisure use, singles or families, a beautiful, relaxing and peaceful environment to be in.

Thank you and well done Ian and Gina!

It was our first visit to Ian and Gina’s new apartment. Up in the hills within ten minutes of arrival a gang of wild green monkeys came scurrying through our hillside terrace garden. Louisa – our 4 year old watched in awe.

That evening we caught a firefly in a jam jar and watched as it lit up our faces in the dark. How cool is that!

The next day – and for practically the rest of our stay - we had whole sections of beach to ourselves. Alysha – our other 12-year old daughter - went out for a ride with one of the many jet ski riders. The submarine trip was ‘bonus’!

When you’re out and about, don’t forget to explore. Pick cotton or bananas growing all over the island. Do the tourist thing but enjoy the nature thing too! It’s paradise.

On the home front, check out Ian’s CD collection or even better – book a table in ‘Gina’s Kitchen’. My kids ate food they would never eat at home!

Go soon – before everybody else discovers the secret!
