Wonderful vacation
We enjoyed our vacation in Barbados. The location is excellent(on the beach), and the hosts, Madaline and William, are great people—ready to help at any given moment. Every morning, we had 2 chairs on the beach awaiting us. There is a small playground for kids—we use it all the time for our granddaughter, 2 years old. The grocery store is near there, and there are lots of restaurants around. Gazebo offers food and drinks if you prefer to avoid cooking. We had a great time there.

Perfect apartment behind the bar at the beach
We had a great time at paynes bay. Madaline and William are very kind and helpfull. We could use the sunbeds of the beachbar while waiting for our check-in time. In the first day William took us to the supermarket as we had no Rental car. The approximity of the beach and the bar with a simple but good meal or drinks is just the thing you want for a holiday in Barbados. The kitchen is wel equiped and the beds are better than at home. I can highly recommend this apartement to anyone.

The two bedrooms gave ample space for our family of four and as described by others Madeleine, William and Alison were very helpful & friendly. The air conditioner in the bedrooms worked well. Addressing other reviews, the place could maybe do with a lick of paint and one of the bathrooms had a strong sulphur smell but the location right in the middle of Paynes Bay is excellent. The beach chairs set up on the beach for us every day, just yards from the back door made everything so easy.

About the host

Hosted by Madaline Headley-Woodroffe

Host profile image
Hi my name is Madaline and I am married to William. We are the owners of the Tamarind Tree Apartment who also live on the premises. I grew up on the beautiful lush and rugged east coast of the island. I married to William and moved to this side of the island where we raised 2 beautiful daughters - Indra and Tyra. As this location is home to us we were always being praised for our location and hospitality when entertaining but only saw it as home until we decided to add the apartment.

William is a retired secondary school teacher of Mathematics and I worked Accounting, property management and in business development with a government agency. I currently operate The Gazebo Experience Bar and Grill and Trainline Adventure Tours. Our kids are now in university seeking to lead their own lives.

Why they chose this property

Our Apartment is well located along one of the more beautiful beaches on the West Coast of Barbados. We wanted to share our hospitality and our home with visitors to truly experience Barbadian culture in a village type setting similar to what we like to experience when we travel to other countries. Therefore we try to provide the comforts of home in an easy going holiday setting where locals are friendly and are always willing to assist you with anything if you need it. Females and the elderly are especially comfortable here and grateful for the helpfulness.

The location is safe and someone is always on the premises. Our apartment is a continuous evolving opportunity for us as we seek visitors ideas and needs, to update our plant into what you like as well as what we like. This fusion will hopefully be more pleasing to all as we continue.

What makes this property unique

The beachfront view and the sunsets form this location are spectacular.
