SPECTACULAR VILLA with Electronic Gates, Private Pool and Tropical Gardens

We really enjoyed having our own private pool. We were very comfortable staying here.

Great house as described. Juliette, the property manage, was excellent - she waited and greeted us upon arrival, was always available when little issues came up (missign grill cleaner, clogged tub drain) and addressed them in a timely manner. Property was very clean and comfortable. We picked this specific property to be at a midway point from all parts of island - we did a lot of driving everywhere and saw a lot. Wonderful stay.

Pool lovely for a dip after a day at the beach. Owners very good with help and ideas and Juliet who greets you is lovely, as are her meals! You definitely need a car but easy to get about the island so long as you avoid the potholes! We had a lovely time

This is a great villa in a great location, providing like us, you would prefer to be among the locals instead of being stuck with the tourist. It's best to have a car on hand if you are staying here, at least for part of your stay because the local bars / mini marts won't sustain you for the week or more, as charming as they are. The villa is showing small signs of tiredness / age in parts, maybe more outside than in, but nothing serious and the longer we stayed, the more we got used to it and enjoyed it. The great plus of the location of the villa is also sadly met with what for me was a big downside and that is because it is in the heart of a local semi rural hamlet type of place, the locals have clearly got to get on with their lives. This means that gardening strimmer's and the like would disturb the peace now and then. More irritating though, was the yapping and barking of several dogs that surround the villa. Don't get me wrong, for many this wouldn't be an issue, as it's certainly not a constant thing, but for me, my recondite hatred of these little furry four legged noisy crap factories, is such that I want to strangle them the minute they start yapping at each other. This basically disturbs my chakra, enough sadly to take the edge of what otherwise would have been an excellent holiday. If, like most of the world it seems, you do like dogs, then there's nothing about this place that should stop you having a great holiday. Barbados is really very good !

Beautiful house. 100% as advertised. Pool is lovely. Up on the hill. You need to get a hire car. Not for people who just lie on the beach all day because you have to drive everywhere. But if you know Barbados and want a perfect stay. This is the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Golden Palm. It’s central location was a great base from which to explore the island. We enjoyed coming back to the peace and quiet away from the hotels and tourist spots on the west and south coasts. Inland Barbados is so beautiful and this property gives you the opportunity to see it daily. The living areas are comfortable and air con in the bedrooms was very welcome! As others have said the garden and pool are terrific- it’s a good size for a family and great for swimming, dipping or lazing on a lilo! Will never forget walking out to the sound of the birds on the first morning of our trip…garden gets good sun all day. The kitchen is well equipped, place is clean and a good size generally. In a quiet residential neighbourhood where we felt safe and secure. The property is in need of a bit of cosmetic TLC here and there but nothing that impacted our visit. The Welcome Pack was super useful and big up the property manager Juliet - she’s a real star and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Vrbo hosts also very responsive in lead up to the booking. View from the master en suite bathroom was my favourite, especially if you’re lucky enough to catch a sunset whilst showering! The wifi and cable TV worked well, so teen daughter kept happy. Car is essential. We were very happy with our choice to stay here as of course accommodation can make or break a holiday. Golden Palm was definitely a make!

5 times as good as ever

The villa was fine, a few things were not working when we arrived which was frustrating but most were fixed during our stay. The house was clean and comfortable with some areas in need of a little tlc but you really can't fault it for the price. Location is OK about 25 mins from the coast the thing that is not mentioned is the traffic, if you are returning from Speightstown/Holetown area between 4-6pm allow about an extra hour as the traffic is terrible. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Nice quiet location, just what we were after, local shops and not too far from any major places, great to have the swimming pool on tap!

We had such an amazingly relaxed time at the villa. We were met by Juliette and Franklyn at the property - who were just delightful. They were so accommodating and welcoming. Certainly the best property managers we’ve ever dealt with. The pool is great and my family never wanted to leave! The beaches are a must and Fish Fry was so worth experiencing. We will certainly be back in Barbados. It’s so worth the flight!
