Give yourself a break
This is the third time that we have visited Settlers Beach in Holetown. The location is perfect for us as we enjoy eating out at different places and Holetown is perfect for its proximity to good restaurants, has a good supermarket, small souveneer shops etc. The beach is small but not busy and you are able to walk to other areas of the beach which hire jet ski’s etc and are more commercialised. The hotel service is good and nothing is too much trouble. The small restaurant at Settlers (Spago) serves good food although the service can be a touch lacking if they are in any way busy.
The Cliff restaurant is good for a treat. The Tides restaurant is cheaper but the food is equally as good, in our view.

A little bit disppointing
We stayed on both the South and West coast. In my research the South coast appeared to have nicer beaches but I was told by friends that the West coast was more lively, hence the decision to break the trip into two parts. Settlers Beach Hotel was our West coast choice and it was unfortunately really disappointing for a number of reasons: 1) The hotel only had a very small strip of beach, which was no more then 20m by 5m. It wasn’t particularly nice. 2) Although spacious and probably designed for a family of 4, I was really disappointed that there was no aircon in the living room and no access to TV. 3) Luckily there was aircon in the bedroom but unfortunately it was really weak and inadequate. The West coast is more developed and had a wider choice of expensive restaurants but unfortunately the beaches were disappointing - more light brown sand then white. The South coast was excellent with beautiful beaches (Crane Beach & Bottom Bay were the best) and there is lots to do (e.g. lots of bars and restaurants at St Lawrence Gap).
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Top tips: 1) Swim with the turtles on the West coast, 2) Hire a 4x4 to get around the island, 3) Go to Oistins on a Friday or Saturday night, 4) For something nice to eat try Daphne’s or the Lonestar, but Sweet Potato, Waterfront Cafe and Mango by the Sea were really disappointing.

Excellent villas to relax
We really enjoyed our stay in the villas. The area consists of several villas (containing very clean bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and very larege lounges) around a little swimming pool, 30 seconds from a near-private beach. It is an excellent place to go if you want to have a relaxed time, since it is away from the busy beaches and very peaceful. The service was excellent and staff were very helpful to get taxis, indicate nearby attractions etc... Definately going back soon!
