We stayed in #207 in May and had a great experience. This unit is very well maintained, clean, and everything functions as you expect. The balcony area is fantastic to just sit and be still or read with gorgeous tropical gardens below. My only tiny issue was that the bed was rather firm for our taste but we will come... More

Glitter Bay has been one of our favorite places to stay in Barbados, and we have checked out a number of places over our 15 visits to the island. The location and beach are great, but the apartments are all individually owned, and all are NOT of the same standard, standards vary greatly so be sure to ask lots of... More

My husband and another couple stayed in Sea Turtle Penthouse 2/9/13-2/16/13. The condo was spacious, private, well-built. The property itself was well-kept without being pretenious. The beach was gorgeous. Not one in all four of us had a complaint and all agreed we would come back here again. From the view of the grounds from our terrace overlooking the palm... More

This was the third time we spent two weeks in Barbados, and the second time we booked a holiday rental rather than a hotel. Although the southeastern part offers far more dramatic scenery and is still virtually unspoilt by tourism, we opted for Holetown/Porters this time on account of the calmer sea. We could not have made a better choice,... More

My husband and I and our two children 8 and 5 years stayed at 103 Sea View this year. The apartment is spacious and modern with a well equipped kitchen. The beautiful balcony is very large with comfortable seating and fabulous sea views. It's on the ground floor but elevated so you have privacy and still get the views. The... More

Everything about this place is great: The people are extremely friendy and helpful, the beach and swimming pool are first class and the apartments are very nice and comfortable. If you want to relax and enjoy the beach with a nice drink and be able to return to a nice clean apartment: GO HERE!

My wife and I just got back from a 2 week vacation in unit 409. We loved this property and especially this unit. Our 2 week stay included a free airport pickup and a 1 day breakfast pack which was a very nice touch. The unit is very well appointed with quality furniture and a good bed. The balcony is... More

We have just returned from our second stay at 305 Glitter Bay, and this year was probably better than 2011. We were much more geared up this year, and with the fantastic help of Marilil Troulan had some food and wine delivered before we arrived, so it was all put away and ready for us! 305 hadn't changed, and it...

Overlooking the beach, "Sea View" 103 is comfortable for 4 plus people and is well equipped. The staff are wonderful - to a person. They are attentive, helpful, informative, and caring. They really want their guests to have a wonderful Bajan vacation experience. From arrival to departure you will not be disappointed.
