“Relaxed informal atmosphere with wonderful views and great hosts” Have stayed here many times that is a recommendation in itself.Met my brother his wife and daughter from California and New York who like me loved it.It's like home from home, the house is light and airy tastefully furnished with a wonderful wrap around terrace with views of the golf coarse and coast. Very quite and peaceful with a large pool you could be the only one there. A barbecue area and one of Carol's rum punches and all your cares disappear.

“Just wonderful” We stayed here December 4th thru 14th, 2013. The Villa was clean, comfortable and delightful. The hosts are wonderful and kind. We would not hesitate to go back and in fact would look forward to seeing Carol and Dick very much. You can't go wrong here.

“Happy days at Gingerbread Cottage” We,a family of four with two teenagers, spent 10 very happy days at Gingerbread Cottage. The cottage is absolutely charming and the location just stunning. You are so close to nature - our children ate coconuts and passionfruit straight from the trees. The garden is beautifully maintained and we often went for a walk, took our old bananas and fed them to the monkeys at the bottom of the valley. There is a nice breeze most of the time and that means hardly any mosquitos. The pool is huge and has the right amount of sun and shade. Gingerbread Cottage is equipped with everything you need and Carol and her family were very helpful and made us feel special. You do need a car to get to the beaches and shops. We enjoyed the freedom of not staying in a hotel. Thank you to Carol and her family - we will be back!

“Home from home in tropical paradise!” We loved it here, peaceful, quiet and with all the facilities you could need. Only 5 minutes walk from one of the best beaches on the island with two superb beach bars and perfect for swimming. As a base, Holetown is great, catch the bus ($2 bajan any distance!)get to any part of the island and have a great laugh on the way. The yellow buses are great if you like loud music! You must visit the Oistins Fish Fry(Friday night), fantastic atmosphere and lovely food. Can't recommend this place enough and Paul & Stasia were great hosts. Andy & Sam

“Perfect villa in superb location” Really lovely villa and so handy for everything in Holetown we stayed in a Hotel the previous year ( Colony Club ) but this villa had everything we would wish for and so more private Paulette came in every couple of days and the gardens and pool were kept in first class condition throughout our stay We used Port St Charles a couple of times which was an added bonus when renting here and if you want to get away from the busy beaches this exclusive yacht club is perfect Looking forward to returning next February with friends as we have rebooked already which says it all !

“Very good location” Carlton was very easy to talk to and ask for help on anything to do with the island. He did all this even before I met him for the first time. So this was setting me up as too how it was to be in person and he was just as pleasant and helpful when we arrived. The house is in a great location and an easy walk to everything you need. We did not see monkeys in the garden but they were on the street in front of the house a few times which was a thrill for us. You will feel very safe in the area where the rental is located as well. The only thing I would have to say that was not up to my liking were the beds. They were really hard and needed a pad on the top of them for more comfort . After being there a week you really felt your back getting sore. One other thing that could have been better was the house keeping. The lady was so sweet and nice to be around I did not dare ask her to do a better job on the floors. It was so minor and we were only there a week so I chose to over look it. I would not even consider staying at another place if I ever get the chance to return. Carlton has my business and I have told others to rent as well from this same place. Well worth the look. Thank You Carlton for the chance to stay at your rental.

“Excellent accomodations” We stayed with our 11 month old child and her grandfather. These accomodations were excellent for everyone - from the location between Oistins and The Gap to the pool to the beach. Arrangements to coorindate our trip, rental car, crib for our child were easy and impecable. We had issues with the wireless internet and the owner herself arrived to the unit to fix this on her own time. Everyone at the location were friendly and accomodating (true to the Barabados culture). We would definitely recommend this location (and apartment) to our friends and family!

“A slice of paradise” Location, location, location - it doesn't get better. One walks across the road to the very best beach on the island. Pure white sand, swaying palms and a warm sea. The magic is the house with it's stunning landscaped garden and alamanda flowering bushes. The pool and decking when one wakes or to wallow in with a drink at the end of the day not a bad conclusion. The wonderful maid who kindly prepared breakfast and suppers as needed, very happy, a good cook and made us feel spoilt. I can highly recommend a week at alamanda. We stayed a week in 2008 and have been back every year since.

“We loved it!!!” On a recent vacation with my husband and 22 month old daughter, we stayed at the Vida Mejor and we absolutely loved it! Carlton was amazing! He helped us arrange transportation from the airport. Carlton welcomed us with a friendly hand shake when we arrived and was nothing less than polite and helpful! The villa was very clean, and nice. Great location!!! A 5-10min walk to beach and cafes/restaurants. My Daughtet loved the pool!!! And we kinda adopted the villa cat while we were there.( my daughter insisted on taking care of it :-) A great place to stay. We look forward to staying here again in 2014!

“home away from home” The property is well maintained and Carlton takes pride in ensuring everything meets your needs. We stayed for a month with our infant son and couldn't have asked for a better location. It was walking distance to restaurants, groceries, beach, and centrally located for driving to other attractions. Carlton was able to provide a pack n' play, stroller, and high chair for our son. The pool was very handy to have on those days when we didn't want to be out and about. Carlton and Peggy were very helpful with suggestion of places to go and things to do.

Golden View Apartments Holetown, St James Barbados

“This is best holiday I have ever had, fantastic complex” The apartment is superb.Beautifully furnished and so comfortable. Two settees on the private terrace were ideal for serious sunbathing and reading. The bedroom has large fitted wardrobes and a fabulous walk in shower room. The kitchen has every appliance you need but we ate out at alot at the many restaurants. Doris' detailed notes were a great help in finding places. We enjoyed our walks around the estate and fed the many monkeys we came across. The large pool and tropical gardens had plenty of sunloungers and you could always find your place in the shade. Holetown is definitely the most convenient place. We walked on the fabulous beaches for miles then had a Barbados rum punch before catching the bus back. Fabulous. We'll be back.

About Holetown
This beautiful resort overlooks the warm Caribbean Sea which, in turn, provides the backdrop for amazing sunsets and fantastic beach trips. The tropical temperatures, laid-back vibe and sheer friendliness of the locals is reason enough to come here on holiday. But add the rum distillery tours, and it gets even more tempting.

About Holetown, Barbados
Sitting on the west side of Barbados, Holetown was the island's first-ever settlement. It was the English who landed and originally called the area Jamestown after King James I, who was king of England in 1625. It was later renamed after the stream which runs nearby called The Hole.
Today, it's regarded as a luxury vacation idyll and is home to many five star hotels, upmarket villas and gourmet restaurants. It's also the location for McGill University's Bellairs Research Institute which studies tropical marine habitats. See what you can discover during your stay here.
What to do in Holetown, Barbados
Try the Friday Night Fish Fry Party at the nearby village of Oisin, where you'll find some lively Caribbean music to dance to after dining. It’s the perfect way to socialise with the locals and soak up the fun atmosphere.
Arrive in February and you should catch the Holetown Festival. The town takes on a carnival atmosphere to mark the first settlers' landing, with events such as a Floodlight Tattoo Parade and Seaside Theatre lasting throughout the week.
Go out to sea on a guided tour in one of the many glass bottom boats. You'll be able to swim or snorkel with turtles and colorful fish all afternoon, then afterwards enjoy a rum punch or two when you've returned to the boat.
Go to Folkestone Beach where you can sunbathe, swim and enjoy a beer from the cold shack conveniently located there. Everyone loves a day relaxing on a beautiful beach as part of the perfect Barbados vacation.
Provided you're not of a vegetarian persuasion, pop on over to Roti Den and try the goat curry if you've never had it before. It's delicious and a local delicacy.
Top travel tips for Holetown, Barbados
Enjoy driving around the island in a hire car, but don't bother consulting any maps. They're not particularly accurate and few villages have name signs anyway. It’s more a case of exploring and seeing where you end up.
You can also get around the island on one of the small yellow buses. This is incredibly cheap—at just approximately $1 for a round trip—and a great way to meet the locals and hear laidback reggae music.
It’s worth knowing that the sea on the east has extremely strong undercurrents and is considered too dangerous to swim in. If you like a swim in the sea, stick to the waves on the west coast.
A beautiful resort with friendly, welcoming people, the Caribbean Sea and beaches to die for, Holetown really does take some beating as a holiday destination. Barbados as a whole is a fascinating island with plenty of documented history and all locations within easy driving or bussing distance of Holetown.
