First the owner of the property was a pleasure to deal with and she answered any questions about the rental very promptly. The rental was as described, it was with in walking distance of everything, groceries , shopping, dining and we did not need to rent a car to get around. Very safe area and we did not feel uncomfortable at anytime. We were met on our arrival my a very nice lady (Andrea) who let us in and showed us where very thing was and how to use it. The pool area is relatively small but is very private and clean. There was no one else in the pool besides us for most of our two week stay and then only 4-6 people. The beach is near by and is beautiful and we were able to find a spot with shade where we could spend most of the day swimming and reading. Some nice restaurants in the area, I would recommend Zuccios and Spago they were excellent. Zuccios overlooks the bay is a great place to watch the sunset. If there was one draw back and I consider it very minor, some of the furniture is showing some wear and the paint could use a little freshening up but overall we would highly recommend this property and would definitely go back again. Thanks for a great holiday Joan

From the very first message I sent to Joan, communication was top notch, all of our questions were answered promptly. Joan was great to deal with. The welcome package she sent is so detailed. The location couldn’t be better minutes away from a beautiful beaches. A 10 min walk will get you to the grocery store and many of the restaurants. The apartment was well equipped with all you would need to prepare meals. As well as beach chairs and umbrellas. We had no problem staying within daily electric units . The air conditioning worked quickly to cool off the bedrooms and we were able to turn it off each evening keeping only the ceiling fan running. The downstairs patio was great place to sit and enjoy meals. The upper patio a great place to watch the monkeys who we saw almost every day. I did read a few other reviews that mentioned the dogs in the area barking and although we did hear them from time to time they were quiet at night. Overall we had an amazing stay and would love to stay again in the future.

Recently retired, my wife and I spent 12 nights in this unit. The unit is well appointed, and clean. The building and gardens are well maintained. Patio furniture very nice. The pool, although small, was always clean and refreshing. Comfortable loungers poolside. The building is situated in a residential area, with all the residential noises one would expect. The neighbors have 5 dogs, and they do bark much of the time. The walk to the beach is 7-10 minutes through a residential area. The walk to the Massey grocery store is 15 minutes. There are 3 refrigerators, 1 did not work, and the other 2 bar refrigerators proved too small for us to self cater. No BBQ's allowed anywhere on the property was very disappointing. The only time we had an issue with the stairs was in bringing up/down suitcases. These stairs will be challenging for the elderly/handicapped. Both bedrooms are on the top floor. We were not told before hand that there is a 15 kwh/day allotment of electricity, and that anything above this is chargeable. You will be asked to sign off on the meter reading upon checkin. We only used the AC in the bedroom at night, did not use the stove/oven and ended up with about a 30 unit surplus. There were no garbage bags or laundry soap in the unit when we arrived. The couch, the only piece of furniture in the sitting room, is very uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would look elsewhere shoul we return to Barbados.

First time to Barbados and what a great location this apartment is in. It's decorated so lovely and from the transfer with Andrew to Joan and her lovely apartment and Agnes who cleans the apartment, everything is arranged both professionally and with care, which for us was great. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!!

Our stay in Holetown was our 8th but the first time at Ixora. We agreed it was the best place we stayed and would return. Joan was a pleasure to deal with- her responses to questions were prompt and she was most helpful. Agnes, the housekeeper, did a great job. Location- Ixora is in Jamestown Park,a quiet,safe neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach ( we used Settlers Beach- easy access, shaded or sun if you prefer, beautiful beach, not crowded), Holetown ( Limegrove has many great restuarants like Relish and Pepenero, beach restuarants like Zaccio’s for casual dining as well as fine dining like The Sandpiper and The Tides), Massy’s Supermarket, great shops. We went to The Sandpiper for drinks and watch the sunset at Harolds Bar. We also walked out at night, used common sense caution, and were perfectly safe. The Apartment- good location within the Ixora building. Porch faces north so it’s cool and shaded all day. Also, it is only a few steps from the pool. The pool was clean and lounge chairs comfy. There was never very many people using the pool ( maybe because the beach is so convenient). Joan has provided beach chairs for your beach use. The apartment is clean and modern. The kitchen was small by American standards but had all the equipment you would want and we had no issue cooking there. The lounge could use an additional chair as it was a bit hard to sit four adults. But it was not a big issue. We found the beds comfy, the bathrooms clean. The only “ negative” regarding the apartment are the narrow, winding stairs, to the second floor bedrooms. They may be problematic for very old, very young, or people with mobility issues. One member of our party has Parkinson’s and it took a few tries before they devised a safe way of going up and down the stairs. The country of Barbados- beautiful, friendly people. For those who feel comfortable driving on the left, I would recommend a car rental so you can tour the whole island. Taxi’s are easy to get if you don’t have a car but are expensive and the cost really adds up. Some places to see while in the country- Bathsheba( stay a while and watch the surfers), St.John’s Church, St. James Church ( walking distance from Ixora), the George Washington House in Bridgetown, St Nicholas Abbey, Harrison’s Caves, Huntes Gardens. Take the Seaduced catamaran day trip ( Warren Yachting), duty free shopping. Watch the sunset and look for the Green Flash! Have fun!

The property has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Clean and spacious. The beds are really comfortable, and there are 2 terraces one up stairs and one down stairs. Well equipped kitchen if you decide to stay in and cook or hole town is on the doorstep with some fantastic restaurants. The pool area is a delight on those hot sunny days. Green monkeys visit most days in the garden. Beautiful beach only a short walk, 4/5 mins depending on how much rum you have had. Shops are also near by including a supermarket. We did hire a car to go to different beaches and to the east coast as it's beautiful there and very different. Agnes comes to clean once a week very nice lady. We will deffinatley be returning. We have met some lovely people who have been returning to these condominiums year after year. Thank you Joan (owner) for being so helpful.

Apartment was nice, clean and spacious with a small but private pool. Let down by a few niggling problems with domestic appliances which were not addresed during our stay, despite being reported.
