Best location on the island
The apartment is right on the sea and on the west side of the island. This is a prime location because unlike the southern coast that is more touristic it is not affected by sargassum. The water is crystal clear and a few yards from the beach you can find schools of colorful fish. Unfortunately the coral has died but snorkeling is still nice. There are also fishermen in the morning and you can buy fresh fish from them. There is a supermarket with basic necessities nearby and a couple of restaurants. As everywhere else on the island restaurant food prices are very steep. There is also a sports bar just walking distance from the apartment. Buses, including the one to the airport stop nearby and pass on the road behind the apartment. We found them to be convenient and reliable. The ride to Holetown where you can find a larger grocery store and many amenities is short. Halfway to Holetown there is also a fish market (with incredibly steep prices there, too). The ride to the airport is 1 hour but the bus had air conditioning and WiFi and for only Barbados 3.50/person. The only negatives are that the aforementioned road has heavy traffic whose loud noise competes with that of the waves, but at night you mostly hear the waves, which is beautiful. I’m a light sleeper and the traffic did not wake me up but it could be an issue for some. Another minus is that the apartment is a bit tired and in need of a nice coat of paint and some furniture care and maintenance.
