Garden Grove

This was my second stay at the property, which already says a lot. I really like the location – it’s convenient and in a great setting. The house itself is spacious and lovely, with a lot of character. The outdoor space is a real highlight, especially having access to the pool. It feels private and comfortable, which makes it easy to relax.

I booked less than 24 hours before, so I completely understand that there wasn’t much notice. That said, I did feel the house could have been a bit cleaner. There were some tan or makeup marks on the walls, and the pool could have used a clean. Nothing major, but a little extra attention to detail on housekeeping would really take the property to the next level.

everything

I came to Barbados for the second time in almost 17 years with my huge family and Garden Grove was the perfect place for this reunion. We booked 2 rooms and they placed us next to each other(this was so convenient). We had the whole family over on a Sunday for dinner and the space was great, the staff were very receptive of this and the rooms and warmth all fit the aesthetic. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Nicole and Natasha you were amazon with help and information.

The pool is so tiny for this size of the villas. everything else was great.

The flat and the location both met my expectation. I also liked the fact that the parking was right infront the unit. A two minute walk took us to a lovely beach which was not crowded so I was glad. there are also many restaurants on that coastal stretch. About 5 minutes before arriving to the flat there is a large luxury shopping area with a few restaurants as well. I will most definitely stay here again

Living room ac was not working well - but they fixed it no dishwashing liquid/ dishwasher pods/ laundry pods/detergent

emplacement, toiture terrasse, la décoration, la fonctionnalité

Le gros défaut de cet appartement (le n°1) est d'être collé à la route principale. Il y a donc beaucoup de bruits de voiture sachant que les chambres donnent sur la route. La pelouse du rdc rend sale la petite cour (sortie de piscine..). il faut pavé entièrement cette cour

My Stay at Palm Grove My time at Palm Grove was truly refreshing. From the very beginning, the host stood out for her exceptional responsiveness—every need or question I had was addressed quickly and efficiently, making my stay smooth and stress-free. The apartment itself was well-stocked with all the essentials for comfort. It had everything I needed, and more. One of the highlights was the sense of privacy it offered. Once inside, it felt like the rest of the world faded away. It was my own peaceful haven—quiet, secure, and serene. The décor was absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully put together to create a cozy and stylish atmosphere. And the rooftop? A dream. The plunge pool was the perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset—a moment of calm I looked forward to each evening. Palm Grove exceeded my expectations. I’d return in a heartbeat.

clean, well-equipped and lovely. the wild monkeys were also a bonus

Barbados needs sidewalks!

The location- right over the road from Alleynes Beach, close to Lonestar, bus stop, etc It was a great space, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom over 3 floors

Nothing, all good. Gave feedback to the property manager explaining the kitchen /dining area would benefit from placemats and coasters

Very spacious and comfortable.

AC units leaking.

Friendly and helpful staff.

WIFI lost internet for the last day and a half. I realise this was beyond the control of the staff.

Pristinely clean, bright and airy and conveniently located near the beach.

The location, the view from roof , the pool , well equipped kitchen , comfortable and clean. Also Natasha the host was very friendly and helpful.

No shampoo or body wash in bathrooms

Great location near one of the best beaches on the island....

Great well equipped house. Lovely open plan ground floor kitchen/dinner/living room opening up to terrace with plunge pool, with awning to keeping in the shade as required. Comfy bedrooms, and lovely roof terrace with sea view. Natasha and her team were discreetly on hand to deal with any queries. 5mins from beach. We were happy to have hired a car to get about the island but there was a bus stop near by. Great part of the island to be based

Location was great 😊 the beach over the road was my favourite of the whole trip. The local beach guys are so great and friendly. The staff are also very accommodating will do anything to help and advise, the housekeeping is great too. Lone star over the road is delicious and a 2 min walk. Jumus is also great for pancakes and cocktails.

Not a lot of sunshine by the swimming pool on the lower ground. Sun on the roof can be too hot in the day without a pool. But definitely felt safe having the lower ground pool with kids.

We loved the location, the standard of accommodation provided was exceptional and the welcome from staff was wonderful.

It would have been helpful to know which property number we were allocated, before we arrived.

The apartment itself is very beautiful and well taken care of, and close to the beach. For a family of 5 this was a perfect place where to stay, and the staff attending the property were very friendly.

Our understanding from the description of the property was that it's part of a hotel (it's listed as an aparthotel). But there is no "hotel". There is no reception, so it was a bit confusing to find the apartment. No communication was provided prior to arrival regarding where or how we should check in. Luckily someone was attending to the apartment where we were supposed to stay, so by chance we found the right place and the right person. In addition, some items listed on the booking site were not in fact provided (i.e. toiletries - no shower gel or shampoo was provided, and we had to ask for hand soap). No public amenities like a gym are there (you can access one, but it's a 10-15min drive away). Because of these small details, the place did not meet our expectations. It would help to amend the description on this site so that travellers know what to expect. Otherwise it is a beautiful place and I would stay here again.

Just lovely and light

Unfortunately nothing ! We shall be back

The indoor space

The outdoor space was tatty and needs tiling the grass was poor , we never went outside . Garden furniture rubbish

Loved the rooftop sundeck with plunge pool

We were moved to the sister property Palm Grove 100mts along the road. The Townhouse was excellent, very modern and clean and well maintained with everything you would need. However, MAJOR NEGATIVE was the dogs, especially the one right next to the property it barked virtually continually from dawn to dusk with little or no let up every single day it really was a nightmare and completely spoilt our time at the property

The DOGS constantly barking really dreadful

Reasonably equipped

Three flights of stairs never mentioned Too many bugs

Position across the road from the beach , good local restaurants, fully stocked kitchen , washer , dryer , roof top terrace . Friendly staff

Nicole and her staff were lovely, so accomodating and friendly. I would highly recommend Garden Grove for its proximity to the lovely beach accross the road.

Excellent property overall, but with some issues.

The bed sheet was too small and therefore came off every night. The second property was cleaned after it had been decorated. None of the Airconditioning had thermostat control.

Price was high but in line with the rest of Barbados!

Very Nice and clean apartment with all you need for a perfect stay. Closed to the beach and restaurants. Natasha welcomed us with warm and she was always available for everything we needed.

Just small amenities like shower gel and shampoo could be appreciated at arrive……

Lovely well appointed apartment. Good location for the beach, Holetown only 5 minutes drive away and nearby to 3 good restaurants

A road sign or street name would be really helpful in locating the apartment block. Walking to the beach needs real care as there are short stretches with no pavement along a narrow and busy road.

Lovely clean property! Perfect location - peaceful but close to everything!

Great spot with everything you need to have an amazing holiday. The plunge pool was fun and it was cool to have options for places to “hang out” when not out and about exploring the island. The beach was also one of our favourites.

The short walk along and across the road to the beach access was a bit treacherous… nothing to be done about it but glad I didn’t have little ones to worry about.

beautifully appointed and spacious

The only 'improver' is to provide a small welcome pack with coffee, bread, butter and milk. It is a little walk to the nearest convenience store and took a while to orientate ourselves.

Beautiful spacious light townhouse immaculately clean. The plunge pool was a real welcome bonus. Ideally located for the West coast and near to public transport which we used once. Beds comfortable and well equipped kitchen. One of the few places we have stayed in the Caribbean where there was air conditioning in the lounge area as well as the bedrooms.

In such a lovely place it seems odd that there was no starter pack of toiletries or washing powder or kitchen stuff such as foil, dishwasher tablets etc.,

Perfect spot for a relaxing holiday . The unit offerred all amenities. Only thing I could say was body wash would be a wonderful addition. Close to beautiful beaches and some nice restaurants

Lack of body wash

Location was great (walking distance to Lone Star restaurant, beach), easy parking, lots of space in the house, Netflix on the TVs, clean, lots of kitchen facilities (coffee maker, blender etc), cleaning and fresh towels every 3 days, easy check in and a late check out was made available to us which was much appreciated. Rooftop and plunge pool was a bonus!

Would have been great to have some basics provided (shower gel, coffee, dishwasher tablets etc) but Massy stores, where we stocked up on everything needed, was only a 5 min drive away.

Exceptional in every way. Highly recommended. The villa was even better than as shown in the pics.

The location

Lack of fresh towels/toilet rolls and cleaning

Extremely comfortable, with family friendly layout. Super close to beach and beach bars and restaurants. Conveniently located between Holetown and Speightstown and easy to get between both via local buses. The rooftop area was magical for viewing the evening sunsets too! The staff (Natasha in particular) were also wonderful. Always available, always very helpful with recommendations and helping sort out an emergency taxi for us. We had a minor issue with the air conditioning in one of the rooms and it was fixed within an hour!

The pool for unit 2 was quite small - more of a plunge pool. It was fine for us but for a family wanting a larger pool for swimming, it may be too small for you.

Very nicely designed house, stylishly furnished, with parking right next to the house. Sitting on the upper terrace of the house is beautiful at sunset. Natasha, who accommodated us, was very helpful and willing. We loved going to the pool.

Our stay was unfortunately noted by the owner's repeated attempts to move us midway through our stay. This was due to planned repairs in the house. There was a lot of pressure put on us. In the end we defended our stay perhaps by arguing that we would contact booking. com.Really very unpleasant and unexpected in such a property.

we usually stay in a few hotels when we visit someone incase one was bad; this one was amazing! The best one of our trip. We were greeted by warm smiles and driven to our annexe. We had a few small issues that we weren’t that bothered about, but the staff were all over it within the first hour and resolved any issues. We had some washing and the staff kindly washed it for us saving us having to go buy washing powder for a single wash, the staff were generally amazing, every morning we were greeted. The property clean, new, good spec, location is great right in between Holetown and Speightstown. I’d definitely only stay here if I visit the country again!

No hot water but it was really hot so we didn’t mind.

Clean modern

Fabulous apartment very modern excellent aircon and wifi Definitely will book again

Road to beach a little dangerous as cars buses drive fast so just take care

Looked amazing in the photographs and did not fail to deliver. Outstanding property located 100m from a fantastic beach….

Nothing!!

The location was very quiet just what we wanted. The accommodation was light, bright & spacious, it had everything you needed. Natasha was so friendly & helpful, gave lots of recommendations & booked a taxi for us.

Information to let you know there is no reception desk & that you will be met by the agent. The option to purchase a welcome pack with milk, butter, bread etc would be useful.

Everything was better than expected (E.g. facilities, staff and location).

Loved the spacious, bright townhouse in a great location. AC worked very well in all rooms. Rooftop had an amazing sea view. Didn’t want to leave!

No major issues. Would have been a nice touch to have some basic supplies like water, coffee, tea, bread, eggs etc there upon arrival so we didn’t have to go to the supermarket immediately.

Clean, fantastic customer service. Great location.

Nothing.

First impressions were good and a nice layout of the rooms. Location great

Whilst unpacking we realised how cheap the finish was of all the fittings (Kitchen,bathroom, bedrooms, etc.). Next the cleanliness- Skirtings that haven't seen a duster in a while, the dirtiness of the sun terrace and swimming pool (scum line around the pool and that is after the pool cleaner had been). Poor soundproofing and many windows without blinds or curtains. Overpriced for what we received. Such a shame as it could be great.

Location was superb with a 2 min walk to the beach and The Lone Star restaurant. It was also a short 15 min to walk into Holetown. The team of Natasha & Nicole was excellent with any queries answered promptly. For example I requested a full size ironing board and although they normally only have a small one in the apartment it was there in a matter of hours.

Nothing, the apartment was superb.

The space

No view from bedroom or shade on both outdoor spots. I had to choose between where I could have shade

Beautiful, light and stylish accommodation which lives up to the online description and photos. The kitchen was very well equipped and the layout of the apartment worked really well for us. Close to main bus routes to get you to nearby Holetown and Speightstown.

Nothing! Completely met our expectations.

great location very close to beach and bars/restaurants. modern apartment with good outdoor space and quiet with no Road noise.

The house is in good condition.

The Window that is in stairs goes directly to public street is not covered with anything, from the street it is possible to see when you movw around your house. These windows should have some reflecting cover so people wont see in when you are walking around your place not decent. Other big issue was that Pool cleaner decided to show up middle of our stay, left his cleaning agent on the pool, while we were at the house, this left pool unusable for us for last 2 days of stay and having a guy show up unannounced to your backyard, even if he has to work is really unprofessional.

Living in Garden Grove was such a good experiences, especially with the help of housekeeper Natasha. She is such a nice going and helpful lady. She took us to a little neighborhood grocery to buy food and helped to change local money for bus riding and arranged airport transfer. The house itself is great, very neat tidy and comfortable with almost everything we need. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.

Well designed & stylish property

spacious and lots of areas to the villa, close to the beach 2mins walk and the beach is one of the best on the island, close to Lone star and the service of the staff working in the facility were incredible can’t complain 👌🏼👌🏼

nothing it was amazing
