Shades
Laynes Road, Paynes Bay, BB 29004 Saint James, Barbados – Excellent location - show map
The property is set in a beautiful plot and our generous balcony overlooked the grounds and swimming pool, featuring luscious palms and Traveller's trees - simply stunning. The local beach - Paynes Bay was a 4 minute stroll from the apartment and was just amazing. Rochelle was a super host - extremely helpful and arranged taxis (at a special rate) for our various trips around the island and for our transport from and back to the airport. She met and welcomed us to Shades on our arrival, walked with us to our apartment and gave us a very comprehensive introduction, to both the property and location/general area, following up with a detailed post on WhatsApp - all fantastic. For local trips, including to Jordan's and Massey's supermarkets, we took the local yellow busses which were plentiful and convenient. This was our first trip to Barbados and Shades was the perfect introduction to the island.

Australia“Loved how the accommodation was our own little villa. With an equipped kitchen and very private. Easy 2km walk (30 minute walk) to the centre of Holetown (or a BBD$30 /US$15 taxi ride).”
