About this property

Luxury beachfront 2 bed, 2 bath apartment, overlooking pool, newly refurbished

Twin Palms is a fabulous two bedroom apartment, located at the well loved, prestigious resort of Glitter Bay on the west coast of Barbados. This apartment has just been refurbished elegantly to a very high standard, and is fully equipped with everything that one would expect of a high end, privately owned property. The comfortable accommodation sleeps up to five guests and overlooks the resort swimming pool and a lush oasis of coconut palms and tropical gardens. From the terrace, it has stunning views of the lush gardens & pool and a partial view of the ocean. One of the best stretches of sandy beach on the island is a thirty second walk from the apartment through the lovely gardens. The beach comes complete with comfortable sun loungers, umbrellas, fresh towels daily, a beach bar, and beach & pool staff to help make your stay all the more relaxing. Glitter Bay resort offers many of the facilities of a top ocean front development with acres of lush gardens, a large swimming pool, tennis courts, gym, concierge, friendly staff and 24 hour security. The apartment is very well maintained and comes with its own housekeeper and property manager, meaning it has a high standard of cleanliness, and is properly managed. It offers everything you could desire in a beachside hideaway and is perfect for a honeymoon, romantic getaway or a family holiday. There is a children's swimming pool, and playground, as well as plenty of space for children to enjoy the freedom of a summer holiday.

Twin Palms
The apartment was exceptional and with every mod con! We had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday and would definitely love to return again. Arlene was of great assistance and kept the apartment spotlessly clean. Glitter Bay is a well kept private site with easy access to the beach and to the Fairmont Hotel next door. We wish Christina, Arlene and families a Very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Twin Palms, 411 Glitter Bay - “excellent holiday apartment”
Spent 2 weeks at this apartment in July with my wife, and our 18 year old daughter and friend. It’s well appointed, smart and clean - all due to very professional and courteous property management and housekeeping. Recommended for anyone who wants a peaceful stay in an attractive location by one of the best beaches on the island

Bad start, but good overall
The first day we arrived to discover that there was no water at all! We couldn’t wash up, use the kitchen sink or flush the toilets. We were told that repairs were being done to the plumbing system and the the water would be on ‘as soon as it dries’ The water did come back several hours later. We discovered the same situation the next day, only it was worse this time. No water all day. At five o’clock we were told that it would be back on in a half hour. We made dinner reservations for 7:30 and arranged for a taxi ride. After coming back from the beach we all needed to shower before going out to dinner. After numerous calls to the property manager we were told just about every 20 minutes the the water would be on shortly. The water did not come back on until a little after 7:00!!! At one point we were told that getting the water pressure up to the fourth floor could contribute to the proble. Needless to say we had to cancel our dinner reservations and taxi. Not a great way to start a trip. The unit is beautiful but the LR couches were very uncomfortable. Good reliable Wi-Fi. The housekeeper Arlene was wonderful. And Perry our taxi driver was also very good. For the next 8 days everything was fine. The beach is beautiful, the drinks and food at the little beach bar are very good. The location is not the best. You have to go into Holetown for groceries and to go to dinner. Very little is walkable. We’ve been to Glitter Bay a number of times and it’s a beautiful place to vacation.

Apartment is beautiful. Immediately felt at home. Every thing you need is in the apartment. Blissful relaxing evenings on the huge balcony. Housekeeper is a gem and keeps the apartment beautiful and looks after guests. A total chill out, blissfully peaceful pool area and fantastic beach. Beach bar does great food. Two weeks were really not long enough!

We can't say enough good things about this property. Location is absolute perfection. Beach is barely a 3 minute walk... bar, food, service at the beach are all terrific. Close to restaurants, shopping. Apartment is immaculate, well equipped and extremely comfortable. Christina is gracious, helpful, responsive and very kind - exactly the sort of host we'd want anywhere! Arlene the housekeeper is super. A wonderful week! Thank you!

Lovely apartment in a great location on Glitter Bay beach. Walkable distance to Holetown, or 2Bd$ on bus or 25Bd$ in taxi. Apartment had all the amenities you would want, and a fantastic terrace for al fresco eating in the evening. Pool and beach were good. Tasty lunch at pool bar served by friendly staff.

Delightful stay
Our family of 3 had a wonderfully relaxing time staying here at Glitter Bay. Dealing with Cristina when arranging our stay went smoothly. The apartment was immaculate and what you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. It was spacious, light and airy. The location for Glitter Bay is perfect, no hassle to just stroll down to the pool and gorgeous beach area where sunbeds are readily available. The snack bar was unfortunately shut for most of our stay, opening only on the last day, however it was open for drinks. This was not a huge issue as we just walked along the beach to the Fairmont next door or lonestar for breakfast as well as staying in for breakfast on a couple of days. There are plenty of restaurants to go to in the area for a slap up meal or just something quick and easy. Bus stop right outside or taxis are easy to order. There are tennis courts in the grounds but I would suggest taking your own balls as the ones provided were not very bouncy. A great holiday and we would consider staying in this apartment again.

Family vacation in Barbados
We were a family of 4 adults who totally enjoyed the island and our stay at Glitter Bay. We stayed in the Twin Palms villa, it was very spacious and very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The outdoor deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening meals. Christina was very responsive to any of our questions and offered to book our catamaran sail. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Never Fails!
Just returned from another two week break at Twin Palms. Thanks to Christina for her usual impeccable organisation and arrangements. Thanks to Chauntel, our wonderful, friendly and cheerful Housekeeper, for her kind help and assistance during our stay. The apartment has been refurbished ( yet again ) to maintain the excellent standards of decor, practicality and overall ambience. Every description of Twin Palms is accurate and in my opinion, understated. It truly is an excellent place to stay when visiting Barbados. We look forward to returning to Twin Palms again next January for another wonderful holiday experience. Thanks to all concerned

Really nice condo.
A great place to stay Barbados. Our group was four adults and we never felt crowded. Kitchen small but efficient and well equipped. Chantell (maid) is a sweetheart. Beds were comfy. A short walk to the pool or beach, neither of which were overcrowded in eary February. Christine (property manager) is very helpful. There is a beach/pool concierge that dispenses towels, assigns beach chairs and answers any questions or can provide recommendations. There are beach towels in the condo for times when you want to explore other beaches or take in a boat ride. In short: a very comfortable base to explore a lovely island, or just relax in the complex's comfy beach lounge chairs looking out over the ocean. All four of us had a great, relaxed stay. One bit of feedback: the Smeg brand appliances were a bit of a mystery at first for us Americans, and some of the button-labels on the microwave were faded, so there was some guessing and fumbling in the kitchen at first. A user guide in a kitchen drawer would have been helpful. Totally nit-picking here, the place totally deserves the 5-star rating. (After using these appliaces for a week, I am wondering if they are available in the States. Dishwasher is as quiet as a mouse.)

Exceeded all expectations
We have just retuned from a fantastic 2 week holiday staying at Twin Palms. This really is a fantastic appartment in a perfect location. The photos represent the appartment well but if anything it was bigger and better that we expected. The rooms are spacious, terrace fantastic with and the appartment is equipped with everything you need. The robes were a nice touch that we appreciated. The housekeeper Chauntel is great and the ensures that appartment is always immaculate. The Glitter bay grounds/pool/beach are maintained to a high standard and the allocation of loungers and parasols for the duration of the stay was great, as was being able to collect towels on a daily basis from the concierge desk. Glitterbay is situated on a lovely long stretch of beach that was never busy. There are a number of good value beach bars along the beach, all are very good for lunch or a drink. We visited a couple of other beaches but they weren't a patch on Glitter bay. Glitter bay is also well located for accessing the restaurants and shops in Holetown which are a short taxi ride away, although we tended to stop a bus at the gate as they were so frequent and took you in in minutes for $1US. I would highly recommend this appartment, it is ideal for a family or group of friends. Anoushka and Christiana (property managers) were really helpful and everything went smoothly through the booking process and our stay. I'm sure this will not be our last visit to Glitter bay.

Lovely modern apartment
Lovely apartment, exactly like the photographs. We'd seen some other properties in Glitter Bay which were starting to look a bit tired, Twin Palms was however really modern, bright and airy. The booking process was faultless with Anoushka and Christina keeping us updated with all we needed to know. The housekeeper Chauntel kept the property spotless every day and even did our laundry for us. The balcony was a lovely area to sit with a drink and soak up the view after a hard day at the beach ! We had a great stay for a special occasion.

A relaxing and beautiful place to stay
We can't speak highly enough about Twin Palms, the accommodation has been furnished to a very high standard with lots of thought to the décor, the pool is a very tranquil place to relax during the day (and teach our little one to sleep) and the beach has to be the best in Barbados (we stayed in Payne's Bay last time around). And if that's not enough Chantelle and Christina looked after every need and provided great local advice. See you again soon (we hope!)

Above and beyond waht we expected!!
From start to finish our booking and stay went above and beyond what we expected. Anoushka and Christine - Property Managers were efficient and prompt in every single detail. Chauntel, the housekeeper, was absolutely lovely and very informative when we first arrived at the property, I would highly recommend staying here. It is beautifully decorated - quiet - just steps from a magnificent beach and bus stop at entrance to the complex. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Maria

Completely Amazing!!!
I have to say that Twin Palm's is a little gem. We have stayed at many private rentals and their was something that was just special about this one. It felt so homey. From start to finish everything went just perfect. Anoushka, the manager reassured me with my first experience of wiring money. She also was so amazing, in that, when we arrived we had an English coffee pot. I had no idea what to do with this kind of coffee maker. Much to our delight, she went right out an purchased us a Cuisinart coffee maker. Now that is service! I was so happy to have my morning coffee. Chantel the cleaning lady would do anything you wanted her to do for you. We had left a bag at the airport and she summoned the driver right away to see if he could pick it up for us.The location of the unit is just beautiful. Every morning we woke up to the sunshine and beautifully manicured gardens. The veranda was so roomy and had beautiful comfortable furniture to relax on. It was just so private being on the top floor. We loved the fact that we could make free local calls right from the room. We were so amazed that we were able to watch our MN Wild hockey team right on the TV in Barbados. The staff at the restaurant were very kind and helpful. It is on a beautiful beach and the pool area is also very nice. They have a small beach bar right at the complex and everything we had was delicious. We were centrally located, close to Holetown. The busing system their is so efficient and it cost one dollar to ride the bus no matter how long your trip was. What can you get for one dollar, nowadays?? The local people are some of the nicest people we have ever met in any of our travels. We have never made so many friends.To have a man get up so a lady can sit down on the bus is something we never see any more. We also felt extremely safe in our unit as well as everywhere we went. Barbados is so beautiful and Twin Palms is perfect. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful apartment
We recently stayed at Twin Palms and had the most superb stay. The apartment had everything you could wish for and was looked after by the delightful Chauntel. We had a lovely view of the pool as well as the stunning Carribean and could sit and watch the sun set whilst having a drink. It was a lovely spacious apartment and the kids throughly enjoyed having their own separate room together. Everything was always spotless and we were even lucky enough to have all our washing done for us. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and we were looked after continuously. If you don't always fancy cooking for yourselves there are many restaurants within easy access so you can get the best of both. I would not hesitate to come back our holiday was fantastic.

The best apartment we've stayed in at Glitter Bay!
There are a number of apartments at Glitter Bay as can be seen on the various websites. They vary from 1, 2 and 3 bedroom. They are all broadly similar from the outside but Twin Palms is in another league which is evident the minute you walk through the door. We have stayed at Glitter Bay numerous times over the last 12 years, but this was the first time we stayed at Twin Palms (our usual villa was booked up). As per the photos', this apartment has been completely refurbished to the highest standards and is perfect in every way. Brand new top of the range kitchen appliances, immaculate interior decor, faultless bathrooms and fresh linens every day to name just a few areas where Twin Palms beats its rivals. All communication with the villa owners was prompt and professional and the housemaid is one of the best we have met. She washed and ironed all our laundry on a daily basis and kept the apartment shipshape throughout our stay. Glitter Bay is ideally situated only 5 mins from Holetown which has a big supermarket providing all our groceries. The west Coast has numerous excellent restaurants and and the Lonestar restaurant is only a 5 min stroll up the beach from the apartment for lunch or dinner. This is the first time we have stayed at Glitter Bay with an infant, and Twin Palms suited us ideally as we visited with 2 couples staying in the two spacious bedrooms. The owners had made up the second bedroom with a king size bed for us and a single bed for our daughter so I can highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Barbados with family. The apartment easily accommodates 5 people and the swimming pool area is perfect for adults and little ones with the baby pool providing daily entertainment for our 3 year old! Overall, we will definitely be staying at Twin Palms again so I will stop banging on about how great it is now, for fear of it being booked up by the time we next want to visit!!
