Excellent place and welcome Barbara made us feel very welcome and the location is amazing and the pool great. Perfect place to relax and visit Holetown and the west coast. It’s a nice walk down to the town which has some great restaurants and beaches. We really likes it up by Folkestone so walked there a few times to swim and snorkel.

We are sadly waiting for our taxi after spending the best 10 days here, this apartment is absolutly perfect and we have loved every second..i was shocked reading previous review, everything is here you need, we did have a car that lovely barbara organised for us, we knew we probably would because i read lxx having said that we walked a few times to the beach or for breakfast, its a nice 10 minute walk, only issue being is there is no path..but we knew this because we read.. everything is spotless and having our own pool was perfect, we spent a week in florida so had a lovely rest.. thank you batbara xx we will return xx

This is a basic basement apartment and not luxury. The information on google about distances was false. The owners had no clarifying details on their website. We were unable to walk the distances and would have spent multiple dollars on taxis. Nothing was convenient. The one redeeming feature was we moved out and they refunded us.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Apr 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. I’ve welcomed many guests to this apartment over time, and it has consistently been described as comfortable and accurately represented. During your visit, concerns were raised regarding the property’s location based on a Google Maps pin. I did my best to explain that while I provide the correct coordinates, I do not control how Google Maps interprets or displays them. Unfortunately, this misunderstanding led to further frustration. Because the situation escalated quickly and you expressed strong dissatisfaction from the outset, I proactively reached out to VRBO to document the interaction and ensure full transparency. My goal is always to maintain clear communication and protect the integrity of my listing for all future guests. I remain committed to providing an honest, welcoming, and reliable experience for every visitor, and I regret that this was not your impression. My goal is always to provide clear information and a positive experience for every guest. I encourage future guests to reach out directly with any questions so I can assist promptly and ensure a smooth arrival and a satisfactory stay.

Our stay was wonderful thanks to Ms. Barbara!!! She made us feel like family any and every question we had she provided solutions. Ms. Barbara being on site made all the difference; without her our stay would have not been the same. She was delightful in every way!!! We felt safe & secure in the neighborhood. There was a water issue in the neighborhood; she kept us abreast as to what was the status. The pool was lovely and we made good use of it. The walk to Holetown beach easy in daytime we took taxi at night as limited sidewalks. We had plenty of places to eat nearby although we cooked in the home; major store Massey's walkable, bus is $3.50BBD easy to navigate. Taxis are EXPENSIVE cost $13USD from Massey's (5 min drive) only used at night. Swan Street in Bridgetown had reasonable grocery shops/produce vendors. Overall great visit!!!

Holiday in paradise

We had the most blissful holiday staying at Diamond Oasis and can’t wait to hopefully return again next year! The apartment was clean and perfect for our family of three, the pool was a treat and the location was perfect for us. Barbara’s communication and hospitality was A and the welcome package of food was a real help and very thoughtful. Overall we would give Barbara’s hospitality and her beautiful accommodation a 10/10 review and would definitely return.

Fabulous hideaway a few hundred metrea from centre of Holetown

Lovely apartment with all that we needed for a 10 night stay. Barbara, the host, was kind and helpful to us throughout. Only two minutes drive to the centre of Holetown, with a wide variety of restaurants and shops to choose from. This is a perfect place for a couple or small family to stay, hghly recommended. We had an emergency at the end of our stay, after we had left, and Barbara was kindness itself in helping us resolve it. The pool and sunbathing area was well-used by us. The local braches were also marvellous.

Great location and beautiful private pool area

My wife and I just completed a great 10 night stay...most important features for us were the proximity to Holetown beach,restaurants and groceries, ten minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car, and the very beautiful and private pool area, exclusive to us during our stay. This basement apartment is spacious, a bit dim in the bedrooms, and perhaps best suited to two adults and children. The property manager Barbara is very helpful and responsive to communications. The neighbourhood is exceptionally quiet both day and night.Gary and Elizabeth

Great family holiday

The pictures don't do the property justice, it is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and the private pool was great. The 15 min walk into town was fine and we never used a taxi, although some might find that easier. Barbara was an excellent host and couldn't do enough for us. From getting us some food in, letting us stay late as we had a late flight and calling us a taxi, Barbara made us feel extremely welcome.

Excellent place for a couple to relax

The apartment is very nice. Well equipped, clean and updated. The pool area is beautiful as is the gazebo with large grill. Short walk into Holetown but be careful as there is no sidewalk. A flashlight at night is a must. Barbara is an excellent host and whenever we had a question or needed something she responded immediately.

Lovely accommodation

Lovely accommodation with fabulous pool we even saw a family of monkeys pass through one day. The garden was lovely and we had this all to ourselves. Around the pool were the best sunbeds with really thick cushions so very comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for our needs. We hired a car which we kept for the whole time as we felt it was a necessity to get home in the evening after dinner as road home was uphill fast and dark. Barbara was a lovely host and made us extremely welcome.

Great Stay

We had a great stay with Barbara at Diamond Oasis. The apartment was exactly as listed. It was clean, comfortable and very welcoming. The pool is a definite asset! We were within walking distance of Holetown which had beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants. Barbara was very accommodating and made us feel at home. The whole experience was wonderful! We had been to Barbados several times in the past but it was the first time for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The loved Barbados and hope to be back in the future. I would not hesitate to stay with Barbara again!
