So quiet and peaceful yet 5 mins walk from shops and beach

This was our first visit to Barbados and the manager had organised our airport transfer with Beardy - a courteous careful driver who we actually used all week to take us to various gardens and beauty spots on the island. Ixora 9 is a modern yet homely apartment with a large verandah. Marcelle the housekeeper met us on arrival and had organised the welcome food pack which we requested on booking. The main room is spacious and light with air con and ceiling fan, with a splendid up to date kitchen with all facilities and equipment. The bedroom also has access on to the verandah and has air con and a ceiling fan; the bed is extremely comfortable. The bathroom has a great shower. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. The shady verandah has a glass dining table with comfy chairs - perfect for meals al fresco - plus lounge chairs. There are also 2 fold up chairs you can carry with you to the beach. Pool towels are provided. The best part of this property is the peace and quiet - waking up in the morning to birdsong and then watching monkeys scamper through the adjacent trees. We met a few fellow Brits by the lovely pool - some of whom have been coming here for the last 26 years! It's just an easy level stroll to the various quiet Holetown beaches, a huge Massy supermarket (great salad bar and hot local food bar) and many cafes/restaurants - all of which have a happy hour to enjoy a cocktail or rum punch as you watch the sunset. The bus stops are at the end of the road - buses only cost 3.50 Barbadian dollars wherever you go on the island. Holetown itself is very safe and clean. Thoroughly recommended and thank you.

Clean,comfortable and great location

We are just back after a great week in Barbados. The apartment was clean and comfortable and perfect for 2 people. We arranged airport transportation with Joan and Andrew was waiting for us and alerted Joseph who was waiting for us when we arrived at the apartment to show us around. We enjoyed having coffee on the balcony every morning and being entertained by the monkeys! The apartment complex is quiet and the pool area was never busy and very relaxing. It was 5 mins walk to the beach, bus stop or Holetown where there are a good selection of bars and restaurants. We will be back for sure next year!

Fantastic apartment

A fantastic apartment, very comfortable, superb kitchen and a very large balcony. The Monkeys were very entertaining and the wildlife in general was great. Great help from Joseph the property manager. The pool was fabulous and bigger than it looks in the pictures. Would strongly recommend.

Brilliant space, brilliant place

My wife and I stayed for a week to celebrate her 40th. It was great, Everything you could need. Also in a really nice part of Barbados. We travelled up and down the West coast and definitely feel that Holetown is a good space to use as a base. Go north to Speightstown or South the Dover beach. You really do get to explore it. The restaurants as well are great. Surfside was a frequent place to enjoy happy hour drinks too. Beware though, the Rum Punch goes down easy, and packs a hell of a kick. Thanks, we had a wonderful week, and glad we went to a place of our own rather than a hotel.
