"Hi Irene,

We had a wonderful holiday, thanks so much for letting us stay in this beautiful apartment. I would not hesitate to recommend # 9 to anyone.

Please pass on our thanks to Pat who was very helpful organising our boarding passes and a taxi to the airport.

Kind regards,"

"My wife and I had a fabulous time at # 9 Palm Beach in Barbados. We did very little except
read, snorkel, eat, drink, and relax, but that was the point. The condo
was wonderful; very quiet, well appointed, comfortable and in an excellent
location. Our plans are to return close to the same time of year,
although probably not before 2012, so we will definitely be in touch. One
change would be to extend our stay to 8-10 nights, rather than 5.

We ended up dining at the Fish Pot, which was excellent, both in terms of
the cuisine and ambiance. The setting there is lovely, particularly when
the sun is about to dip below the horizon.

"Just to say what an absolutely wonderful time we had. # 9 and the surroundings were everything I hoped for. Pat was just great. The condo was just perfect for our needs and requirements. Could not ask for more.

The information and services you provide here and on site are second to none. It's hard to improve on perfection".

I want to say thank you for such a wonderful holiday in November. We had a fantastic time at Palm Beach and are keen to go back again in the future. The apartments were super and just what we needed and the location was just perfect. I have also recommended it to friends and colleagues who may be looking to go on a Caribbean holiday.Thanks again".

Review Title : # 9 Palm Beach, an amazing self catering apt,.... everything you need.

"I have stayed at here twice, once in July 2008 for a long weekend and in
September 2008 for 4 weeks.

The pictures are exactly what you will find and the description is accurate regarding the location, layout and facilities:
Air-conditioned bedroom with remote control was a necessity, worked very well, wasn't noisy so didn't keep me awake all night ! Television with island and cable TV, DVD/CD audio all worked perfectly. High speed broadband for laptop that actually worked ! Patio doors and iron gate that open onto
terrace and gardens. Although I don't like the aesthetic of the iron gate they are there for safety as you are on the ground floor.

Refitted bathroom with shower, en-suite dressing area with basin, vanity unit, hairdryer and
wardrobes...all very clean. Built in safe (even though it is a key lock, it is good to have a safe to store valuables). Separate fully equipped kitchen with oven and hob, microwave, large fridge/freezer, all working fine and clean. Generous provision of cutlery, crockery and glassware.

Literally a few steps through the tropical garden to the beach, it's so close, I
practically lived on the beach ! All linen including face, hand, bath and
beach towels provided and all very clean.

Maid service was excellent. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a well looked
after apartment in an amazing location, an all you need, hassle free holiday. It really does have all the amenities needed for a self catering holiday, is near to all the local restaurants, supermarkets and entertainment. I am planning on going back very soon !!!"

"All in all Irene, our holiday was brilliant. The condo was great, the people we met were lovely, and it was very personal staying there. You can stay at any hotel, and they wouldn't give you the familiarity we experienced at the condos. My only problem now is that I need to win the lottery to buy one of my own, and as I don't even do it....!!

Harold, the mini bus driver, picked us up at the airport as we requested, and Pat met us when we arrived at Palm Beach.

Sonia, the cleaner, kept the place spotless. There were beach towels exchanged whenever she cleaned which was every other day, and she even gave us tips such as to take our empty bottles back to the bottle bank to get some money back.

The grounds were kept very tidy. Pat's partner, Chris, did a grand job, and was very sweet when I burnt my back and he picked me some Aloe Vera fresh from the garden ! The pool is a decent size and it was well tended. We lived round the pool from 7am !

We purchased take-away breakfasts from the deli at the top of the road, and that was great.

We kept the condo right up until the time we had to leave, just before 3pm. That was great, and at no charge like all these hotels. Even if we had had to leave because of incoming guests, Pat had a condo lined up for us to shower in before leaving".

Bob, Gabriel, Luc and I very much enjoyed our stay at Palm Beach. The condo suited us very well. While the kitchen is small, it is functional and very well equipped. The kingsize bed was very comfortable (Bob and I are considering switching our home mattress to foam now) and the many fans ensured that we did not have to turn on the air conditioning once! We spent a lot of time on the condo's veranda as well as by the pool and on the beach, playing cards, swimming, snorkeling. The boys are well on their way to becoming amphibians!

"Everything was very good – clean & well kept & Pat was very friendly & helpful".

"The condo was very clean and the maid was friendly. We loved the fact that we could hear the gentle crashing of the waves - it was an added bonus. The property managers were friendly. We felt a sense of safety and security in this location as it was tucked in a corner with management on site. We hope to visit again".
