Many thanks to Barbara for another great stay here. The location is ideal for Holetown, and the private pool is lovely.The bread, milk, and eggs on arrival was very much appreciated.
Great communication throughout the booking process and a warm welcome from Barbara. Clean apartment - made great use of the pool. Well situated for the nightlife and beach at Holetown (10 minute walk). Well situated for all the sights of Barbados!
Great private spot in a lovely quiet neighbourhood! Everything we needed to enjoy the platinum coast! Comfy bed with air con in the bedroom! Safe and secure spot! Great private pool too!
We had the most blissful holiday staying at Diamond Oasis and canât wait to hopefully return again next year! The apartment was clean and perfect for our family of three, the pool was a treat and the location was perfect for us. Barbaraâs communication and hospitality was A and the welcome package of food was a real help and very thoughtful. Overall we would give Barbaraâs hospitality and her beautiful accommodation a 10/10 review and would definitely return.
My wife and I just completed a great 10 night stay...most important features for us were the proximity to Holetown beach,restaurants and groceries, ten minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car, and the very beautiful and private pool area, exclusive to us during our stay. This basement apartment is spacious, a bit dim in the bedrooms, and perhaps best suited to two adults and children. The property manager Barbara is very helpful and responsive to communications. The neighbourhood is exceptionally quiet both day and night.Gary and Elizabeth
Fabulous hideaway a few hundred metrea from centre of Holetown
Lovely apartment with all that we needed for a 10 night stay. Barbara, the host, was kind and helpful to us throughout.
Only two minutes drive to the centre of Holetown, with a wide variety of restaurants and shops to choose from.
This is a perfect place for a couple or small family to stay, hghly recommended.
We had an emergency at the end of our stay, after we had left, and Barbara was kindness itself in helping us resolve it.
The pool and sunbathing area was well-used by us. The local braches were also marvellous.
Lovely, clean, spacious apartment with everything we needed. Barbara, our host was very helpful and welcoming and came to meet us when we got lost trying to find the place on the first night.
We absolutely loved staying at Diamond Oasis. The apartment has a great location, it was tastefully decorated, the hostess was really nice and very helpful. Would definitely stay there again and recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Barbados.
i believe the apartment would be more suited to 2 adults, 2 kids, not 4 adults, however, Barbara is lovely and helpful. Location good and pool beautiful,
Nice quiet property short drive from everything holetown has to offer
We had a lovely stay. The property has 3 units and the garden apartment was setup in such a way that you felt like you had the place to yourself. The side gate is just for you. The pool is just for you. The lounge chairs are just for you. The side yard is just for you. Very well thought out. The hostess is above and the other guest unit is on the other side and we never noticed either! Quiet was the most important for us and we enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood and the house. There is AC in the bedrooms and was good. Parked the car just outside on the street. Spent most of our days at the pool or at the folkstone marine sanctuary 10min by car with plenty of parking. Apparently the unit gets a lot of repeat bookings and I can see why!
Very relaxing & comfortable. Lovely small pool. Car required as longish walk into town with no pavements. Good restaurants & supermarket close by.
Highly recommend.
When we found this property we could not believe it . The garden with your own pool an outside kitchen with barbecue the neighbourhood is so smart and quiet Itâs only a short walk into Hole Town , we loved it
The pictures don't do the property justice, it is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and the private pool was great. The 15 min walk into town was fine and we never used a taxi, although some might find that easier.
Barbara was an excellent host and couldn't do enough for us. From getting us some food in, letting us stay late as we had a late flight and calling us a taxi, Barbara made us feel extremely welcome.
The apartment is very nice. Well equipped, clean and updated. The pool area is beautiful as is the gazebo with large grill. Short walk into Holetown but be careful as there is no sidewalk. A flashlight at night is a must. Barbara is an excellent host and whenever we had a question or needed something she responded immediately.
Lovely accommodation with fabulous pool we even saw a family of monkeys pass through one day. The garden was lovely and we had this all to ourselves. Around the pool were the best sunbeds with really thick cushions so very comfortable.
The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for our needs. We hired a car which we kept for the whole time as we felt it was a necessity to get home in the evening after dinner as road home was uphill fast and dark. Barbara was a lovely host and made us extremely welcome.
Another stay at the beautiful diamond oasis...we stayed 3 weeks this time.We are in our late 60s and it suits us perfectly, very peaceful quiet area. Beautiful garden with a very well kept pool, best sunloungers nice and strong and a gazebo to sit in if you wanted some shade. The apartment had everything we needed., the bed was nice and comfortable. Barbara our host is such a lovely lady and always at hand if you need to know something. We always hire a car to get around to visit beaches and places of interest. Holetown is a great place to stay at as there is so many places to eat and see there and you can easily travel to the north or south of the island. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at diamond oasis again such a lovely welcome by Barbara. Certainly going to miss you and the tranquility of the area. Honestly a wonderful place to stay its just up the road from limegrove..so easy to find. Book it and you wont be disappointed.
Property exactly as described in a quiet area but walking distance to Holetown beach, shops and restaurants. Just over 10 minutes in flip flops to the Limegrove center (few minutes more on uphill return) and although no pavement, we didn't feel unsafe with the traffic. Torch a necessity for night-time. Private pool was wonderful and the gas BBQ very useful. The host Barbara is friendly and welcoming and was also very flexible with our booking, something needed in these current times! Greatly enjoyed our first visit to Barbados, a lovely island and friendly people. Thoroughly recommend Diamond Oasis if you're looking for relaxation but close enough to all facilities needed.
I had a stay at very nice stay at Diamond Oasis and Barbara is a very nice host.The apartment which is located in the basement is large, nicely decorated and the kitchen is equipped with all amenities. The garden with a moderate sized pool is beautifully designed and cannot be seen from the outside. Barbara lives on the ground and the upper floor of the house herself. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk into Holetown with shops, supermarket and the beach. Unfortunately the street you have to walk along has no sidewalks. However you will get used to it and itâs o.k. during daytime, but I wouldnât walk there in the dark. In summary a good, nice accommodation with a very nice host located just outside of Holetown.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barbaraâs property. It has been ideal for us. Within walking distance of Holetown, though you need a torch if walking back at night. Thereâs no path at the side of the road and only a couple of street lights so you need to make yourselves as visible as possible. It is a very quiet residential area. We always hire a car and there is room for it to be parked outside in the small cul de sac. This is our seventh trip to Barbados and we have stayed in hotels but prefer self catering accommodation and it must have a private pool just for our use. The pool here is beautiful and just what you need to keep cool. It is very nice to sit outside at night too. We havenât really cooked anything here but the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, including a washer and dryer. Barbara lives above the apartment but is not intrusive in any way and is a very lovely lady if you do want to have a chat. We would happily book again for our next visit and we thank Barbara for her hospitality.
The property with its private pool lives up to its title of an Oasis, The rooms are spacious clean, tidy and the decor in the lounge and dining area has an ambient relaxed atmosphere.
The kitchen facilities are suffice, although a microwave may be a useful addition. There are two apartments, each have there own pool. I was in the lower apartment and the pool/garden area added to the enjoyment of my stay two minor points for me were the bathroom shower/sink needed to be run for while before hot water came through but once aware of this it was just a case of a short wait. The other point is the location which for some guest may require a car if they do not like to walk into the town/ beach. This is a 15 minute walk which I enjoyed (up hill on your return) but as there is no paving or lighting on part of the walk some may find it a concern. I had a torch so no problems! For me this was far outweighed by the quality of the property and having a private pool. Barbara the owner was friendly and offered to run me into town if required or arrange for a cab (10 US dollars). Some guest may wish to hire a car, however once you are in Holetown buses are frequent and very cheap to tour the west coast. On arrival Barbara had provided some basic groceries to welcome me with an unexpected gift! Overral for me I have rated this as a 5star as it suited my needs and wishes. It was a pleasure to meet Barbara who was around if needed otherwise stays in the background leaving you to enjoy the peace and tranquility. certainly on my list to go back at some point for another relaxing break!
Barbara war eine tolle Gastgeberin, wir hatten bei der Ankunft ein Grundnahrungsmittel Paket zur BegrĂŒĂung bekommen. Die Unterkunft war modern eingerichtet. Die Lage der Ferienwohnung ist fĂŒr GĂ€ste die Ruhe suchen perfekt. Nur wer Ă€ngstlich ist (man muss schon ein gutes StĂŒck an einer stark befahrenen StraĂe laufen, um zum Strand und Supermarkt laufen. Abends ist ein StĂŒck nicht beleuchte) sollte sich einen Mietwagen nehmen, oder mit dem Taxi fahren.
