    Not a lot really, just the few points below..

    We stayed at Best E Villas Prospect for 2 weeks. The property is situated up a hill about 8 minutes walk from Batts Rock Beach which is small but beautiful. $40 Bajan will hire you 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for the day. There is a large free car park and the expensive La Cabane restaurant is on the beach. There are plenty of other beautiful beaches within 20 minutes of driving. Our favourite was the Folkestone Marine Reserve at Holetown. Easy to park, 2 cafes, brilliant snorkelling and a nice vibe. There are few other tourist facilities within walking distance of the apartment, and a car is definitely beneficial unless you want to walk down to near the beach to catch the frequent buses. We used a car throughout. Locally Pat's store and simple cafe is a short walk away. Pat will cook you a decent meal if you order it in the morning. There is also Da Family Spot, a bar which serves daytime food nearby. We didn't use it. Jordans supermarket is a 10 minute drive towards Holetown and has reasonable prices (they close on Sunday). Wendy's Bar a few hundred yards farther on is great for watching sports including Premier League matches and always has a decent atmosphere. Food there is simple but good and reasonably priced. We stayed in apartment 2 at the Villas. It is simply furnished, clean and functional. If you want luxury go somewhere else. It could probably do with an update, but then it would be more expensive! There were 2 of us, but it would comfortably house 6 with 3 double beds, a shower room, kitchen and lounge with downstairs toilet. The TV works well when you can work it out, there's even Netflix. The kitchen is fairly well equipped with a decent cooker and plenty of crockery and cutlery. The kitchen knives are extremely blunt and need replacing or sharpening. There is also a washing machine and a good sized fridge freezer. Plenty of washing line space to hang your washing outside.

    Can't think of anything !

    Service from first contact to arrival and booking in was first class, thank you :-) Well appointed Villa. Lounge , dining area very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, washing machine, drying area outside. Downstairs washroom, 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Air con very efficient. Bedroom fan whisper quiet on low speed, that, with a very comfortable bed meant good sleeps every night. Shared patio area has tables and chairs, gas BBQ, small swimming pool, and a covered seating area for shade. 10 minute walk away (down hill going so maybe a bit longer coming back) from what in my view are 2 of the best beaches in Barbados, lovely sand and warm water. Batts Rock beach and Paradise beach.Swim with turtles and sting rays. beds and umbrellas are available for rent but most important, there are no hotels nearby so you are not crowded. And at one side of the beach is a beach bar and restaurant, and a car park. 15 minute walk away is Fitts Village Beach, also very good but with many hotels is busier. On a main bus route if you want to go explore.

    The shower needed a little more power as water flow was very weak. Another shower in the master bedroom en-suite would also be a great addition.

    Good location near wonderful Batts Rock beach; easy access to public transport up and down the coast (although a car is needed if you want to venture inland). Very efficient AC (in lounge & bedrooms), very comfortable beds so slept really well. Spacious kitchen & lounge area. Very friendly and helpful ladies looking after the property.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    The apartment was spacious, very clean with a well equipped kitchen. Located in a nice quiet area, close to the bus route and close to a beautiful beach. Joyanne and Margeuerite were wonderful and very helpful.

    It would be best to hire a car as it is a very steep walk to the beaches. Other than that no criticisms at all.

    The apartment (actually more like a house, with living area, toilet and kitchen on ground floor, 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs) was very spacious, with good air-conditioning and books and magazines to look at, as well as a TV. The kitchen had everything you could need for a stay. Also a washing machine which would be very useful for families staying. A very safe and friendly area. My female friend and I walked around at night as well as day time.

    Such a great property with great amenities in a very quiet location, only a short drive away from the madness of Bridgetown. Batts Beach is only a short walk down the hill. The staff are very helpful. I would highly recommend this villa as a holiday home when in Barbados.

    A lovely place. We really enjoyed our stay here. Joy-ann and Margaret were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The villa was clean and had everything we needed. Near a wonderful beach. Batts Rock. We saw wild monkeys, chickens, sheep in our backyard. We would definitely return.

    Stayed as a family of 7, great apartment with everything you need to live comfortably, Aircon was really good and the pool was well worth a few extra bucks, the team that look after the place are lovely and very helpful. Short walk to Batts Rock beach slightly further to Fitts Village worth knowing Jordans supermarket will shuttle you back to the place if you buy to much to carry. If your eating out try Wendy's 😋 or lemonrock bar for some real Bajan food.

    Nothing.

    The place is fantastic. Value for money, spacious and a short walk from a truely awesome beach...if like us you want something away from the sun bed/typical tourist scene then this place is for you. Batts rock beach and cabana restaurant 5 mins walk away, you wont find better. A bus into town is all part of the fun :)

    The location of Best E Villas is excellent, it is very close to the Batts Beach as well as the Paradise Beach, both nice and quiet at all times. One has to walk to the nearest restaurant a bit, but that is only good, and the cooking facilities in the villa are excellent. The service is perfect, the place is very friendly!

    nothing really

    Great size of apartment - they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a three bed which was fantastic. Wonderful balconies, loads of space for our family of five. Everything was well equipped and comfortable enough. Decor is a little dated but all clean and in good condition so no problem with this. Comfortable beds, air con works well, decent shower. Great location to reach all parts of the island and only a five minute walk to a beautiful beach. Would recommend a car for shopping, getting about and we organised this easily through Philrod car rentals. I would not hesitate to book this apartment again.

    Best E Villas was so comfortable, almost like home. Quiet neighborhood except for morning roosters. Close to Batts Rock Beach. Free parking. Nice pool. The most well appointed kitchen EVER. The outdoor dining space with a good gas grill was also very nice. The staff was fabulous; Treated us like family.

    The villas are a few roads back and theres quite a steep hill leading up to them so be prepared for that. We didn't have a car and the villa is in a more rural location so this would be worth considering for your trip here.

    Errol took us straight to the supermarket which was amazing! Joy cleaned when we asked her to rather than daily which was great as we were working. The buses on the main road two roads away are regular and easy to use. There is one restaurant close by and a supermarket 15 minutes walk away. The communal pool is a really nice bonus. Batts Rock beach is beautiful.

    The bed bugs now I’m worried about bringing home bugs to my house. I’ve travelled stayed many hotels never ever encountered bed bugs. Very disappointing.

    Air conditioning was great in every room. After 7 days I find bedbugs. I was getting odd bites on my body and initially I passed the bites off as sand flies. I was sitting on the sofa and saw the bedbug in the cushion seam. The next bedbug was in the bed I had slept the whole nine days.
