Amazing views, food, and fun! We loved walking along the coast, the catamaran sunset cruise, and all the golf. Nicole made delicious smoothies, fish tacos, and salads. Everything was top-notch.

Such a joyous visit. Beautiful people, beautiful island and gorgeous accommodation. Nicole made everything a little more special with her kindness and super delicious food. We loved the live music and, dining at QP Bistro, Bathing horses, Stiletto catamaran cruise, golf at Sandy Lane & Deputy Beer. Thank you.
We enjoyed our stay at Chanel
No. 5. The villa was very spacious and the beds were comfy. We liked being able to walk out the villa right onto the beach. The location was great being close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Nicole our cook/housekeeper was the absolute best! She thoroughly spoilt us during our stay with all her delicious food. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

A beautiful house with an amazing chef Nicole. The beach was stunning but there was lots of hidden coral so it hurts to walk in. However it is the most picturesque beach you can find, beaches with less coral were bland compared to this one. It's a long walk to Holetown and the humidity will put you off but the good news is the reggae bus is every few minutes and is only BBD 3

We have just returned from a lovely visit to Barbados . Chanel No 5 is a lovely villa with direct access to the beach .
The sea directly outside is too rocky to swim but 5 minutes walk to the right is the lovely Paynes Bay beach where we rented sun beds everyday in front of the beach bar . Beds are available a few hundred yards to the left but is right on the road so not so nice .
Lovely Nicole looked after us during our stay and nothing was too much trouble for her . She will cook if you want her too and made the nicest Rum Punch ! As well as keeping the villa spotless .
Carlos the gardener introduced himself on the first day and cut us fresh Aloe Vera to keep in the fridge .. and the two security guards were very friendly too .
This villa is exceptional value for money for the location , and was perfect for us .
We will definitely be returning . Thank you

3-4 stars because the fridge was broken and we had a temporary fridge in the dining room -- not exactly elegant. There was also a towel on the floor under the broken kitchen fridge (alongside laundry baskets). The temporary fridge broke down twice so we had to throw away some food and clear it out for repairs.
The welcome letter incorrectly stated we had housekeeping for only 3 days. Luckily, Fiona sorted everything out. The letter also did not have the correct gate code so we were locked out when the gate fob broke.
The bedrooms and beach location were lovely. However, the open plan ground floor was not very relaxing with a housekeeper there -- we could hear all of her phone conversations. The sitting area also needs lamps/task lighting for reading and games. Finally, the music from the restaurant across the street was very loud on several occasions.
