Setting

All the family can enjoy the outdoor facilities at Affinity, take a swim or relax by the pool; play in the garden or simply take the heat off in the shade of our large gazebo that can also be used as an outside dining area.
Location
The villa in the ideal location to experience the tranquillity of Caribbean living whilst being able to easily access the whole island by car or bus. It is accessible by car or bus from the airport, the journey takes less than 15 minutes. The tranquil location is 3 minutes’ walk to the main road which is a busy bus route taking you across the island and the property is within 5 minutes of a quiet beach. There are several local services within 5 minutes walking distance of the property including an English pub, doctor's office with pharmacy, bars, restaurants and a min-mart. A further distance away though within walking distance are the busier areas of Oistins and St Lawrence gap with supermarket, bustling night life, multiple restaurants, banks and beaches.
Smoking is no longer permissible in indoor public spaces in Barbados. Please smoke on the veranda, gazebo or garden.
We enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return!
I will not be recommending this place to anyoneI will not be recommending this place to anyone The service was terrible When the Internet kept breaking down they kept saying they re coming round and Sheets and pillow case and towels was not changed over 4 days Sheets and pillow case and towels was not changed over 4 days nobody turned up
It was sunny and warm everyday. We enjoyed the pool and covered deck. Tracy, the housekeeper, was wonderful and a wealth of information. The Barbados golf club was a nice course and served excellent food.
Pros: location is good, close to oistins, parking is convenient Cons: air conditioning timer every two hours in one bedroom and every 1 hour in the other room so woke up regularly at night, no breeze in the location, unfortunately neighbors smoked and if left windows open would get there smoke into the apt, neighbors had friends over first night so it was a locals party at the pool. There was some weird green dirt in corner of the bathroom unsure if was mold. Stove /oven very dated difficult to tell if it was on.
The villa was very clean and well taken care of. Krystal the cleaner came by 2 times during our stay and did a fabulous job tidying the villa while I worked on my computer. Unfortunately, my fun times in Barbados didn't allow me to meet the owners Maxine and Angela, but it was sweet that they checked on us and attempted to meet us. Oh my goodness! WE LOVED THE POOL! Good size, clean, and always warm. I would ABSOLUTELY stay at the villa again on another trip.
We have been to Barbados many times and usually stayed in a hotel. We decided this year however, to have a change and book this villa. It was all what we wanted and more. Perfectly situated for access to the beach, shopping areas and entertainment. The villa was perfect for us. The pool was an amazing asset. It was cleaned often and so was the villa. We met the owner Maxine whilst we were there and she is a lovely lady. It was really very nice to meet her and put a face to an email. The property manager Angela is perfect and she couldn't do enough for us. She came many tmes throughout our stay to check all was well, which it certainly was. A really beautiful character. The housekeeper Krystal was fantastic too. The most sweet and thorough lady. Whom we grew very fond of. The pool keeper was a gentleman called Doug whom I shared chats with. He was informative and helpful. On the whole, the management was absolutely first class. The villa had everything we needed, including a bbq in the gazebo which unfortunately we never used. It was a home from home situation. With everything you would expect to be in it. There was even a mobile telephone for us to use locally. The bedrooms were fully air-conditioned, I think it would be a huge asset to have it in the lounge too. This hasn't altered our option though. We had the most wonderful time. We would 100% recommend this property and we will stay at the villa the very next time we go to Barbados. Maxine, Angela, krystal and Doug, thank you for making our holiday memorable.

The stay was all we expected and more.Location and safety, perfect. Accomodation requires some updating?TLC but would not deter us from staying again
Pool was nice, had it all to ourselves for the week. It,s a nice location, close to the grocery and the beaches on the southern coast. Had some problems with the A/C and light switch but was quickly rectified the following day. The pool was attended to twice while there and the apartment was clean once by some very kind folks. A clothes dryer would be an asset. We enjoyed our stay and was quite comfortable. We don,t mind staying again some day. Gary .
Quiet location, off the main street. It's a short walk to the beach , the grocery store, and several restaurants. The swimming pool and gazebo allow for a quiet evening respite from the hustle and bustle of the day. We did yoga in the gazebo every morning.
The place was lovely, clean and comfortable. The stay was near faultless, and when there was one small problem, angela was so easy to contact and it was fixed quickly Would happily stay here again and again
Our stay at Affinity Villas in December/January was faultless. In an ideal location just off of the main road in a safe, quiet residential area. Far enough away from any noise but close enough to beach, supermarket, bank and Oistins. Apartment and pool cleaned twice a week. Angela, the Property Manager was available if needed and is a real credit to the owner. Already booked to return in May, didn’t even think to consider staying anywhere else.
