Condo 202 tired! Rest great. Only major comment, I cannot understand why the swimming bouys are such a small area, why not put the string along parallel to the beach and keep out the pesky jet skis, which are dangerous and irritating? This is what's done at the Fairmont.

A wonderful apartment with the best views!

We had a fabulous week in 202. The views are outstanding. Sitting on the balcony watching the sea was magical. The apartment itself was somewhat basic but had everything we needed. If we come back to Barbados we will be sure to stay in 202 again.

I love this place period. This year , however I was eaten by flies. Sleeping was difficult. The room was filled with them although it was hard to see any in the daytime.

Great location

In need of modernisation and overall refurbishment , No plug in the kitchen sink which I reported to the property manager but nothing was done, and no hot water in the morning. The exterior stairwell needed more lighting, too dark at night.

Hidden Gem

This property is located on the best part of the beach, right next to the Fairmont Hotel. The view from our balcony was fantastic and was especially nice when we had a day of rain. Everything was clean and fresh with housekeeping twice a week. We had a small issue with a blown circuit breaker in the kitchen and it was remedied quickly. The staff were so nice and we had lunch in the restaurant several times and it was very good. The beach staff had our designated chairs ready for us each day. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect setting

We had a great holiday with you . The location was perfect it I have only given 3 star rating as the apartment was very tired. Kitchen was small but had good utensils but my worry was the electrics! Bedroom large and comfortable. The whole apartment needs a good refurbishment. Still we enjoyed ourselves. Regards Caroline

Serenity Glitter Bay 202

Not recommended. This apartment has not been updated and we had a very uncomfortable and miserable stay. Nothing like the standard of other properties in Glitter Bay, very disappointing. No air conditioning. Old kitchen with sparse and very old equipment. The living area does not have a sofa. It has the concrete old concrete bench. Definitely Not comfortable to sit on. The living area also still has the old wooden shutter type doors, not glass like other units. So impossible to see out unless the heavy wooden doors are pushed back. No washing machine. No toiletries in the bathroom. The list goes on. Very disappointing apartment
