Ocean Blue is a rare find

It’s the sort of apartment one hopes to find after hours of internet research but rarely ever does, everything comes together in one apartment – this is a real gem. The apartment is set in a small enclave of privately owned apartments, surrounded by gardens and a swimming pool that overlook a stunning stretch of beach on the west coast. The apartment has its own housekeeper, who met us on arrival and explained how everything worked and kept the apartment spotless during our stay. We loved the cream and white colours used in this stylish space and spent many happy hours sitting on the terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The apartment not only looks fabulous but is also practical with everything you could possibly need for a successful holiday. The beach and ocean are just a few yards away and when it comes to beaches, Barbados is hard to beat – warm azure blue sea, creamy white sand and spectacular sunsets. In the resort there is lots of space to sunbathe, with plenty shade from parasols and palm trees. We ate both in and out, but if you choose to stay in, the kitchen is well appointed and exceptionally well equipped with everything you need. We used the Super Centre, in Holetown, to stock up on groceries. When eating out, our two clear favorites restaurants were Cin Cin and the Lone Star - Scarlet’s is also worth a visit. Having spent 10 glorious days at Ocean Blue, I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone. It’s a rare find.
