Adrian/Colin was attentive, even if out of the country when we first arrived. When he returned a few days later I called with a few small concerns. Adrian took care of several small issues right away. We never did figure out why the master bedroom and bath smelled like smoke, it's a smoke free building, but the non master bedroom was fine. We appreciated the little gifts and having the house to make ours for a little over a week. It was well furnished. Decent grocery stores. Don't use the convenience store next to the property. Way over priced. The property is located directly opposite Sharkey's bar and next to the convenience store. Those were the landmarks for us finding the property.
It was a little rough to swim right out in front of the building, but there were many beaches on the island to swim and snorkel. We saw rays, sea turtles and fish in Carlisle bay, but we had to snorkel out to the catamarans which brought people in to see the wildlife. The bottom of the ocean was very flat and all sand, but the sea life seemed to know when the food would be there. We never really saw a nice reef. Carlisle bay has several shipwrecks to see, but you may have to take a tour to see them. We didn't see them.
We rented a car and drove the entire island. We saw many things, it was very interesting. Stray chickens, some goats, and wild monkeys, not the ones at the nature center. Many Catholic churches, plantations, etc. The train ride at St. Nicholas Abbey seems way over priced and is not a loop, but goes back the way it came. We didn't go and Adrian didn't talk it up at all.
The island is pricey, currently it's 2 Barbados dollars to 1 USD, but I'm sure that changes. Most places take whatever you have, Canadian, US, Pound, etc. Don't let the locals catch you on the first couple of days unaware though, they're very willing to take a 1 for 1 deal, you lose. Use your credit card and let them do the currency conversion.
Would we return, not likely, it's mostly the travel time as the island is nearly an 8 hour plane ride for us and having to make at least two connections. We had a good time though. Many 60+ age wise, us too, but a few 30 somethings with family along.
