Shades Of Barbados

9 months ago

We recently spent a week at Shades of Barbados, staying in the Penthouse apartment. This is a beautiful little hotel, nestled amongst wonderful greenery, a two minute walk down the road to Paynes Bay Beach (be careful while crossing the road at the bottom of the hotel road. It can get busy. One does not hear this road from the hotel. The beach itself is beautiful and is about 500 m long. We had the privilege of seeing turtles feeding near the beach). We heard and saw many birds from our terrace. We also saw monkeys in the garden. The pool was very nice and refreshing. There is a small gym with free weights and a few machines, which we appreciated. The apartment itself was well stocked, clean and very comfortable as well as beautiful. Rochelle was incredibly attentive and helpful. All in all a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend.

Wonderfully large apartment with a great patio that overlooks the pool area. Very friendly hosts. Loved the daily visits from the monkeys also. Keep in mind you will need to purchase all the basics (soap, paper towels, salt, etc) for your stay. Had some issues with various insects but probably to be expected in this environment.

We went to shades with our 2 daughters and sons in law for a special treat for my husbands 70 th birthday. It was recommended to us by a friend who has been multiple times.it didn’t disappoint. Rochelle who’s family own shades could not have been more helpful both before we went and while we were there. The complex itself is like a lush oasis and just a short stroll from a wonderful beach and very handy for Holetown.The pool was beautiful and felt very private. The apartments are very well designed and have everything you could possibly want. We can not reccommend highly enough and would love to go back.

Fabulous little hideaway 5 mins walk from Paynes Bay Beach. The lovely people running this place are so friendly, helpful, kind and make you feel like family. Rooms are large, spacious clean and quiet. Pool is lovely and very clean. Shops, bars and restaurants all nearby. Don’t really need a car here, local buses very frequent. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Fabulous home from home family environment. Staff attentive whether you visit on your own or with family and friends you will have a really good time! The apartments are also in an excellent location - short walk from the beach. The complex also has a gym and communal pool for days when you just want to relax at home! If you’re planning a visit to Barbados then give them a try!
