Lantana Barbados Condos

great location for a property that is not beachfront, only a 10 minute drive to the most pristine beaches of Barbados. Friendly staff. Safe, gated property. Great value for the price paid,

property is a little dated. Room can use some refreshing.

The location, the pool access, ac was good, ensuite bathroom, lots of pots, pans. Coffee maker, kettle, toaster. Nice fridge, stove and washer. Everything was adequate.

The water disruptions due to the water main breaks.

Location, instructions to find the place, facilities,

Good location. Parking and bus stop outside property. Good sized apt. #7 was a 2 bed with one ensuite, on ground floor - pool accessible from terrace. Easy walk to Thunder Bay. West coast is best! - also easy access up to Gibbs, & Mullins (The Sea Shed, Larry Rogers & beaches), Speightstown (The Fish Pot, Pier One & Heywood beach) The apt needs freshening up, a deep neat bleach clean, new kitchen and basic upgrades Online photos are of multiple apts so until arrival you don't know which apt you'll get.

#7 requires updating in our opinion. We were very disappointed it was described as a deluxe apt. It is in fact an owners apt with the majority of cupboards and wardrobes locked. The kitchen and bathrooms require a deep clean with neat bleach to remove staining. Kitchen bin, walls, sink & drainer were old stained. Microwave stunk of curry. The kettle didn't boil. The crockery is all miss-matched -it's basic to expect clean & matching sets. Three wine glasses for 4 people (one chipped). Old well used misted up plastic cracked drinking cups - we avoided using those. Generally a lot of items need throwing out and replacing - stained place mats, grubby oven glove and worn chopping board etc Dust/dirt, crisp, toy car and empty water bottle under beds and sofa but to give credit Fatema came the next day and brought the cleaner, a replacement kettle and replaced the TV as LED's had gone along with a midweek clean. The pool wasn't clean on arrival. Fatema gave me the Lantana managements mobile and after a WhatApp video call and he saw the state of it he agreed and sent a pool cleaner to skim surface and it was vacuumed the next day though the surrounding lounger area was never pressure washed during our stay. The neighbours cockerel, chickens and chicks roamed freely daily - basic netting on the lower part of the front gates would help keep them out? The front page of the apt information book says no animals - as un hygienic !!! The cooker info also needs updating as it's now a Bosch hob. To get the oven to work press the 'ok' button! The old building directly in front (not Lantana owned) was demolished on our second to last day! A huge noisy backhoe digger arrived and without any notice tore down the whole building and cleared the site.

Nice modern well looked after Property Super comfortable Beds

It was all good really (Apart from the kettle didn’t work and we had to use a saucepan to boil water! ((I did let housekeeping know)

The location was perfect and there was loads of parking available.

Nothing.

A beautifully laid out apartment with everything you need to enjoy a short break. Fatema was a key role to making my stay perfect, she was there with any questions I needed answering. The decor was pleasant to look at, the bed was comfortable, I would recommend it very highly.

There wasn’t anything really, it was organised really well.

Lantana had everything I needed for a staycation, the balcony area was comfortable and easy to relax in.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like, the apartment was laid out comfortable for me.

Great value for money. Able to walk straight out of the door into the pool area. Good AC in the rooms.

Need to walk further than 2mins to decent beach.

The property is great. The units on property are individually owned and unfortunately our unit is poorly maintained. The furniture need updating, the refrigerator wouldn't close without a struggle, the television is old and didnt work well. The unit also need shelves in the bathrooms and atleast one mirror. They only mirror was over the sink in the bathrooms. House keeping was the best thing about this unit. Property is perfect, just ensure you are renting a kept unit.

The property was gated and close to the beaches and restaurants. The pool was clean and nice to use. Our condo was very comfortable with great views.

Great location and amenities.

Loved it! Clean, peaceful, and beautiful views. Thank you for your hospitality.

The place was clean, safe, quite, and accessible to transportation.

Perfect location Excellent service Everyone could not have been more helpful

Nothing

Excellent location, great view, spacious apartment

We had a room change first apartment was a little dated. Second apartment excellent

The apartment overall was nice and communication with management was always easy and accessible however the cleanliness of our unit could have been a little better specially in the bathrooms. But the unit came with a lot of amenities including a washing machine which was quite nice and it is reasonable driving distance from town.

Could do with some updating. A bit shabby. Good location though nice views from the balcony.

The location was great, easy access to the whole of the West coast. It was peaceful and relaxing and the staff were lovely. Fatema’s communication before, during and after my stay was perfect.

Clean, modern bright and comfortable

Electrics in kitchen could have been better.

Location was good , walking distance to beach and bus stop . Interaction with property manager was very good

Apartment was tired , dated and dark . Due to them privately owned I think it needs to be updated

Nice and quiet

Amazing apartment on the ground floor with the large patio having a gate onto the pool area. It was so lovely to be able to go in and out of the apartment into the pool area and have the convenience of being able to pop back indoors if we needed anything. Bedroom very cool with air con and fans elsewhere in the apartment. Kitchen well equipped and a large fridge/freezer. Fatima very helpful, prompt with answering any whatsapp queries and allowed us to stay on a little later on our last day as we had a late flight, which was brilliant as we could use the shower before we left. We will be back!

Nothing, we loved every minute!

Excellent stay. Felt very safe and staff could not do enough for me. Very pleasant stay.

Nice appartment, great care of the pool and also the owner of the appartment! Great response, help and parking for cars. Very close to beautiful beaches!

Explaining Television

Easy access to many beaches restaurants and golf courses Fully equipped kitchen

Bathroom shower and toilets are very small Need to refresh towels or provide sufficient to allow used ones to dry Cable package is minimal

Area is qiuet and private. Missing basic amenities like face clothes, tissues,etc. Also washer and dryer didnt work and that was a big imcovenience.

Amazing, complete privacy! Fun!

Comfy beds

Nothing

Not applicable

Everything was ok.

It could have been

Condo was very comfortable, modern and clean. Staff were extremely helpful and kind. Loved the pool and views! Only steps to main road to catch the bus. Very relaxing and quiet, enjoyed the patio deck day and night. The staff were great and helpful when our family arrived a day early, able to rent an extra bedroom at a reasonable price so they could stay with us the one night.

Distance to grocery; next time I’d rent a car but we didn’t mind the bus. Other villas we’ve stayed in normally provide some basics to help start the stay, like a welcome basket, to get through first night, that would be have been nice to have.

A lovely apartment, had everything we needed and was very clean. Very close to a bus stop which is great for getting around. Would definitely return.

Gorgeous & peaceful

Felt safe, and had good security, 5/10 minutes walk to beach, on bus route

Had 10 days and only got one clean, cleaning lady was not friendly in any way. And seemed to have no time to be polite

We have been coming to the island for 40 years. We feel this condo unit is overpriced for what you get in terms of location and ammenities. The condo itself was nicely decorated, it was clean and there was everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable seating, although the lighting is very dim!! AC in every room was appreciated!! Housekeeping staff were very friendly and attentive! Unfortunately, we had issues with the en-suite shower. After 3 minutes the bathroom was flooded. Safety issues with shower design and slippery tiles. Management responded quickly when we notified them and a plumber came the next morning. Drainage issues continued during our stay. The washing machine which was listed in the property profile was not operstional. All ground-floor units in this complex have direct access to the pool. All other units need to go down the back stairs and walk outside around the building to reach the pool. The area appears to not have fully recovered since Covid. Many popular establishments have closed down. Public transportation in very close!

The unit was nothing like what is shown in the pictures. Mold in the shower, tape keeping kitchen cupboards together, no soap or shampoo. We arrived from the airport only to find 2 bathrooms without any soap to wash one's hands. I would be we stay here again. Barbados is beautiful but this apartment was a total fail.

My friends and I had a great time and felt super comfortable.

The location was good to access to beaches and the bus stop was just outside the condo so I took buses everywhere every day

Miskito

Great location,helpful staff.

Nothing bad at all.

Good location well equipped apartment with en suite in main bedroom and bathroom for other bedroom! Lovely balcony with eating and sitting area. Photos don’t do it justice.

The balcony was amazing - space to chill on comfy outdoor seating and also a dining table - wasn't expecting that so that was a nice surprise overlooking the pool! Getting the keys was easy but be warned the entrance info only gets sent the day of arrival and most people don't use their data roaming in barbados - we asked for it the day before. There is a washing machine and plenty of dryers which was great for doing a quick wash as we were mid holiday when we stayed there. The kitchen is well stocked.

The items that the apartment is stocked with is a bit random - a full kitchen roll but only one toilet roll. A full body wash and hand wash which i feel like most people would bring themselves and not need supplying but again only one toilet roll (we only stayed for 2 nights so we didn't really want to have to buy a whole pack!), and no tea/coffee/sugar at all in the kitchen - I think it's nice to leave a small tea/coffee pack for the first night for guests and i'd say this would be preferable to leaving kitchen roll or toiletries in my opinion. watch out for the water - it tasted funny and it's the only place on the island where we got sick so i'd avoid drinking it. The pillows are all huge and the bed is very soft so it's a slightly uncomfortable position - would be better if there was a choice of big or small pillows. overall we thought it was great and just what we needed for our stay!

I like the privacy .and very clean .staff is always willing to gelp .this is my second. Stay .

There was no breakfast included Location is far from supermarket and shops. So you need to hire a car

The terrace and the door mat keep getting wet because water from the air conditioning is poured onto the plant. Perhaps a better solution can be found

Very easy to stay at - great help by management and a good vibe.

All good

Great location, safe,walking distance to beach.

Communication and level of safety We had the downstairs apt by the pool, and it was beautiful

Wasn't tv in the bedrooms only main room

Place was clean and layout of the rooms was on point

Well only that they don't allow the use of the grill outside...would have been a nice addition for family style barbeque

location is convenient

Lots to dislike: strong cigarette odor, stained beach towels, toiletries that are watered down to save costs, pictures shown here on Booking.com are inaccurate

Location

Property was not to a clean standard. I was ready to leave and i was informed i could leave my suitcase outside on the lower floor balcony. The domestic cleaner was extremely rude and offensive towards me. I tried to explain but decided to leave the suit case outside next door near the pool. I telephoned the agent to inform her about the member of staff. She listened but just kept making excuses. My friend and i come to Barbados at least 5 times a year and have used the Lantana many time, however i will not be using this service again. This member of staff was so offensive and rude, she ruined my stay.

Enjoyable stay.

spacious for two people, good facilities and apartment well equipped.

small maintenance issues and pool was very shallow, good for kids not adults.

clean comfortable apartment

No facility after checking out at 11 am to store suitcases or to have a shower before departing the resort for the airport.

Apartment well equipped but very dusty beneath all furniture and on ledges. lots of dusty scatter cushions, and ornaments. Lots of clutter stored beneath bed. Greasy glass and china. Key box combination too stiff to use. Swimming pool too shallow to swim in except for small part at one end worth a couple of swimming strokes. Where was the garden beach mentioned in the questionairre?

Security

Faults advertising like you were going to a real beach area

Fatema was super helpful with early check in, questions and queries we had. There is a washing machine, fridge with ice machine and dishwasher in the apartment which were all added bonuses!

Property is nice. Communication was good and helpful. The bedding in the unit needs to be replaced, otherwise was fine. I would recommend having a car as there are not stores within reasonable walking distance. Taxis on Barbados are expensive.

I sent my parents on holiday as they hadn’t been away for years, and this was the ideal accommodation for them. Fatama (who runs the place) couldn’t have helped more, and was brilliant in every way. The flat was comfortable, clean and a great location on the west coast to get to gorgeous beaches and restaurants. My parents loved it and will definitely go back!

Good location, access to public transportation, and great security measures. Easy access to the beach and an overall safe community. Housing accommodations were adequate and housing amenities were available.

Limited cable channel options, particularly for foreign visitors. Furnishings can use some upgrading (chair covers, linens, etc.

great location just set back from beach with easy access and secure parking

Apartment was very clean and beds very comfortable. I would suggest more clothes hangers in all bedrooms, would be good to have dressing table and chair in some bedrooms and shelves in the bathroom for cosmetics creams etc. Kitchen was great perhaps provide big salad bowls. Lovely staff and security available from 6 pm.

If you like to have an experience of the geography of the place you are visiting, this resort is it! It gave me the impression that I was living in Barbados at the same time as being very comfortable. Loved the vibe of the location. Wifi was impeccable and bus stop super close. Walking in either direction provided us with literally every thing we needed.

Really liked the view of the ocean from our unit. Mrs M. the lady that came in to clean for us, was exceptionally sweet. The unit itself was nice, we really liked it, however to no fault of anyone, the shower backed up and flooded the room and the tiles in the hallway popped and cracked, was a bit disconcerting. Other than those two incidences it was quite nice place to stay.

The stay was wonderful. The pool was nice and heated, the rooms were pretty much sound proof and there was a great freshness to the room. The patio was a great place to relax and have some fresh air. The only drawbacks were there seemed to be quite a few mosquitos and flies about. I don't know the reason why but they were great in number and left me and my partner with significant bites. Overall though I would say this is a good getaway .

I enjoyed this location cleanliness the only negative not having a full shower glass while showering water was going on the floor. Ensure to go shopping before you settle in at Massey supermarket if you don’t you can always go to Simeons Bajan and kitchen beach on Hwy1B.

There was no weight room- no where to exercise. Iliked the closeness to the beach

We were very pleased with the apartment but it was the lack of information from the time of booking plus being given the wrong code to access the apartment which spoilt the lead up to and beginning of our holiday. From the moment we booked the lack of communication regarding our booking made me doubt that we had one at all. Twice I rang Homeaway support who confirmed our booking was sound and was through Expedia. This was all news to me. Also there were 2 taxes we had to pay on the island which we hadn’t been notified of. All in all what should have been a time of looking forward to a special holiday was spoilt by doubt that our booking was sound. I will not book through Homeaway again but will go to the Lantana Resort in Weston but will book direct with Island Villa Holidays.

property manager Mrs. shamone was excellent with her attentiveness to our needs as well as her knowledge of the island. she gave a number of locations to visit which kept us captivated.

Great spot!!!! Thanks . Very cool having a school next door

Great location, however, disappointed that the apartment was allocated on arrival. Expedia treated the apartment as if it was a Hotel, it is not.

Property was up to a good standard and ideal for 2 weeks

Staff was great friendly and reaponsevj. The property condition could have been better. Air in master failed for two days. Washer dryer was out of service. The drains were slow. Master shower so slow had to wait during shower to keep from over flowing Water pressure in second bath very weak. We were harassed by a drug dealer on the beach across the street from unit Not the resort fault.

We stayed in an apartment #7 on the ground floor; two bedrooms. We liked it as it was next to a pool which is a quiet pool. The apartment was pleasant although the bedrooms are not big and one of the bathroom is rather small and needs a detailed cleanup (grout). Nice living room with a well equipped kitchen. Very safe pool; also for young children. Great (although small) patio with nice furniture. Plenty of parking. Great beach 15 min walk, next to Lonestar hotel; great for swimming, water sports, snorkeling, water skiing. You can rent beach chairs. Very easy and fast communication with Fatema. Bus stop is located next to the condos; reliable, safe and cheap. It can take you to Holetown and beyond. However, in order to explore the island it is better to have a car, which can be arranged by Fatema.

Great spot, close to bus transportation, pool was nice, apartment was great, deck looks out to the ocean and overtop of the pool. Really glad that we chose this spot instead of a hotel. 5 mins to holetownish by busses which run frequently (not as frequently after 8pm).

far from the beach..beach was disappointing..location was abit remote

We had a very spacious one bedroom condo, With a lovely patio leading straight to the pool . The property was great for relaxing especially in the evenings . Very clean and well taken care of with all the necessary amenities to make you comfortable . The pool was clean and very private. And the beach is located within walking distance as well. Would definitely stay here again . Fatima was Also very kind and patiently waited for us to arrive to help us get settled in.
