Positive: Our stay at Shades was great. We have two small children and Rochelle went above and beyond to help us have a comfortable stay with everything we needed. The apartment was really big and had everything we needed, it was super quiet and we usually had the pool to ourselves. Beautiful beach just down the road with turtles swimming in the water.

Positive: We really enjoyed our stay at Shades! The apartment was a nice size and well appointed. The property is well maintained and has a lovely, private oasis feeling. We loved hearing various birds and seeing monkeys pass by daily. The location was great-4 min walk to the beach, a short walk to some good restaurants and a short bus/taxi ride to several more. The host, Rochelle, and her family made us feel very much at home. She was very responsive and gave us great tips for where to visit and where to eat as well as arranged taxis for us. We would definitely book Shades again!
Summary: Great accommodation!

Positive: The property is set in a beautiful plot and our generous balcony overlooked the grounds and swimming pool, featuring luscious palms and Traveller's trees - simply stunning. The local beach - Paynes Bay was a 4 minute stroll from the apartment and was just amazing. Rochelle was a super host - extremely helpful and arranged taxis (at a special rate) for our various trips around the island and for our transport from and back to the airport. She met and welcomed us to Shades on our arrival, walked with us to our apartment and gave us a very comprehensive introduction, to both the property and location/general area, following up with a detailed post on WhatsApp - all fantastic. For local trips, including to Jordan's and Massey's supermarkets, we took the local yellow busses which were plentiful and convenient. This was our first trip to Barbados and Shades was the perfect introduction to the island.
Summary: A fabulous experience.
