It was clean, cozy and private. What we did not like were the two single beds pushed together to make one queen size bed.

There was no descent pans with which to cook... severally scratched Teflon & warped pans were unusable. No salt, pepper, oil or paper towels, which were ALWAYS provided at every other b&b we have used over the years. The large burner didn't work, nor did the microwave. One flimsy sponge and one cloth with which to clean dishes. Cutting boards old & stained. Only 2 pillows... the flattest & hardest I've ever had the misfortune of laying my head. No diners within walking distance . The cane fields were being burned and my husband suffered an asthma attack, which laid him low for the 2 days we were there. Had I had the opportunity to warn the folks coming in on our heels, I would have advised them to find somewhere else!! Beverly was kind and efficient and the rooms were spotless. An older gentleman quite helpful as well.

I chose Paradise Villas after a cruise and before I flew home. The villa was spotless and comfortable. It was set up for a long stay if desired, with a full kitchen, though I didn't use it. The wifi was very good. Not all that much around the area, but the Chicken place about a 10 minute walk away was good. Buses were easy to get.

This place had all the things i need to make my vacation pleasant and comfortable. My intention of being in this hotel is to sleep and be out and about Barbados. i was out 3/4 of the time. I was booked 7 days and was out 5 on most tours available. If you just want to relax and do not want the tourist traffic at the beach this the location to be. but if you like the busy crowded beach scene. i suggest to pay more and stick to Radisson or Hilton. This location is not easily walkable for long distance as sidewalks are too narrow or no sidewalks at all. Buses and taxis are your best means of transportation to get around fast.

Great little property!
When we arrived at Paradise Villas (8 of us) we were greeted by Beverley, who showed us to our apartments. Very quaint property, walking distance (down hill) to an incredible beach. Beverley even took us to the market to get breakfast and lunch items for the next day. She was a wonderful host! There is a little local restaurant just up the street, that we ate dinner ate. Completely local fare, and a great experience. I would definitely recommend this cute property again.

Lovely staff, very helpful and kind .
Great helpful staff. Clean rooms. Needs more pillows for me. It was great for me dropping my daughter at university. Limited in terms of beach and entertainment. Beautiful beach but run down and rather unsafe as a female. Always be two or more. Soon the area will be getting cleaned up from what I understand. Great accès though to public buses. Flaszone pub is great local with good food.

Very comfortable villa
Despite a mishap whereby Hotels.com had failed to provide our reservation details to the owner and so when we arrived the hotel had no record of our reservation, the property manager was able to accommodate us last minute in a comfortable 2 bed 2 bath apartment. The villa was spacious with a nice balcony and kitchen facilities. The property is located a short drive from the capital and walking distance from a pretty little secluded beach nearby.

Very basic
Got there at night and no internet. No problem as they had high winds from a storm. 24 hrs later still no internet. However once pointed out by phone to manager it was fixed the next day. Property seems to be managed by an elderly gardner so you have to insist on calling off site manager. All in all the property has seen better days but still ok

Lovely location near to Bridgetown
All the staff were extremely friendly & helpful & went out of their way to help us have a wonderful stay. It's an extremely peaceful location - enlivened by the local chickens, crickets & whistling frogs who provided a natural Bajan soundtrack &, nearby main roads, which although very busy, provide regular buses to the capital & other places of interest & activities.

Good value but poor area
The apartment was nice size and same as shown in he photos. Grounds were nice. The management provides practically nothing so you have to buy everything from salt and pepper to napkins, paper towels, pen and paper, etc...The area is not good. It's near the main road so you hear traffic early in morning. It is surrounded by a group of properties that has half demolished buildings and overgrown. We did not feel safe walking to the nearby beach. You had to walk thru a bunch of half demolished buildings. It was very dark at night walking from the road. Street lights were out. My wife didn't feel safe. Not much around so spent a lot of money on taxis which are expensive in Barbados. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They bought groceries for us as we were arriving before a long holiday. They also provide a cell phone which was nice to have. Andrew the taxi driver is great to book for a one day tour of the island. Beverly was very nice and really went out of the way to accommodate.

Quaint and beach accessible
Went on a solo trip and staff was very polite from the moment I got there. Very helpful with directing me to food places. The beach was very close although the walk back up the hill is a workout. The closest beach is pretty deserted and surrounded by abandoned building so I would recommend Brighton Beach and "Hot Pot" which is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel if you walk down the beach.

It was very nice for the price. The employees were very helpful and courteous. If you are looking for a nice hotel kind of secluded beach pretty much to yourself. However shopping and dinning you need a car or taxi or riding the bus which we did. We thought is was a real experience but was only a $2 brabados dollars; which was only 15 minutes away.

Schöne Anlage in Strandnähe
Wir waren für drei Tage im Paradies Villas und sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und Berverli war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten keinen Adapter und haben sofort mehrere bekommen. Am Abreisetag konnten wir auch bis 14 Uhr bleiben. Der Weg zum Strand ist kurz und in der Nähe gibt es das Flash-Zone ( Einheimisches Essen, gute Musik und Drinks).
