| | | | Review by Robert and Wendy MacKenzie from Long Creek, Prince Edward Island, Canada
The owner, Adrian, has an exellent villa and treated us like special guests. He arranged for a taxi to pick us up, offered us tips and advice on what to do while in Barbados. His villa is exellent value for anyone, but especially for a family looking for great holiday value. We loved Barbados, and have already started reccomending the island as place to stay, as 6 Ajoupa Villa as a great place to see it from.
Review by Paul Oakley from Prenton, Merseyside.paul
St. James - Best beaches, hotels, and restaurants, Local people are very friendly and imformative and one allways feels safe.
Review by ROBERT HAUNCH from SPALDING
St James is a busy little area in Barbados. We particularly enjoyed the safe beaches, and the fact that we could do all the shopping we needed in Holetown. There were also plenty of places to eat, with lots of variety. The people are amongst the friendliest I have ever encountered (
Review by Denise Jones from WREXHAM
St James has great beaches. Upmarket areas and hotels.But you can also stay there on a budget, as we did. Lots of apartments/villas to rent. We felt part of the community popping to Jordans supermarket! Restaurants again for all tastes and budgets. Local fishfruit and veg wonderful! Friday night fish frys along the coastal towns a must.Holetown is a bustling area, in the middle and it is a good base to stay. Speightstown quieter, we felt it was a bit out if you wanted to tour around the island.
Review by Mary Watts from Brockenhurst
Fitts Village is on the beautiful west coast of Barbados about 2 miles from Bridgetown and on a regular bus service. The beach is quiet and safe with good parking, and there are more equally good beaches nearby. Jordans supermarket is as good as small UK supermarkets, about the same prices, and is a short walk (uphill part of the way) from the villa. There are a number of excellent restaurants - some casual some formal within a short distance. There is a huge amount of major developement going on further up the coast but Fitts Village is still undeveloped and quiet, and Ajoup is pretty much the only new development among the local houses. The people who live round the villa are universally friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to older visitors, couples or families. It would probably not suit 18-30s as it is too quiet.
Review by Kerry McGann from Glasgow
St. James is a very eclectic. It caters for all needs from singles to seniors - it has it all!
If your interests are watersports, shopping, golf, cricket, eating, drinking, or just relaxing on the beach you will not be dissapointed.
The locals are very friendly and helpfull and have a very laid back view on life, they will always greet you when you on passing in the street. The buses are a great experience and a very efficient and cheap way to travel! All bus routes run up and down the coast of St. James and beyond.
The restaurant/bar scene caters for all tastes too, whether you are on a budget or feel like splashing out you will definately be spoiled for choice.
St. James is (amongst other things) famous for being a favourite celebrity hotspot so you may find yourself sharing the same restaurant with one of your idols.
Be sure to sample the local cuisine, once you have experienced it you will definately crave more. Pick up a recipe book and give your friends and family a taste of the West Indies. It will add some sunshine to even the dreariest of days!
One thing is for sure, one holiday to St. James will prompt you to book again when you get home!
Review by Mary Watts from Brockenhurst, Hampshire, England
St James has great uncrowded beaches and fantastic shops (in Holetown), many are duty free. A dozen world class restaurants and also good familiy eateries and take-aways. Children are very weoclomed in Barbados.
