This is our second stay here and it was as good as the first. Clean, well appointed, spacious apartment with a great view to the sea. Very good quality and value on site restaurant as well as a shop by the pool offering drinks, snacks and ready meals. Lots of space by the pools - you aren’t crammed in and never have to ‘reserve’ a lounger. The best thing for us was the relaxed vibe - professional but not fussy. Finally, location is excellent- 4/5 other bars within 10 mins walk and buses pass by every 5 mins or so to Holetown and Bridgetown. We couldn’t recommend here more highly. Read less
