Luxury accommodation does not have to come with a white glove service. However when you invest in going away on holiday you are looking for an experience that will last for a long time and if the accommodation and the hospitality is not up to your standards your dream holiday can become a nightmare. I will bring to you accommodation that creates that home away from home luxury and welcoming experience.
For those of you who prefer the more intimate self contained apartment a hidden Bajan gem is just 2 minutes away from Payne’s beach on the west coast of Barbados.
It has everything you would expect from 4 Star accommodation, but it’s winning ingredient is the embracing energy and the biggest smile you receive from the General Manager Jacquie Lee.
The beautiful Shades of Barbados
Every accommodation has a story of how it began and Shades of Barbados’s creation is both heart rendering and inspirational. After the unexpected death of their Mother the 3 UK based Brothers decided that they wanted to stay close to their father who had previously returned home to Barbados. So the brothers began working on their dream of developing a holiday destination that would offer friendliness, luxury and the authentic Bajan culture. The solidarity of the Brothers and Mr Collin senior (dad) who encourages all the guest to relax and have fun is just what you need to experience in a world that is often divided.
So as you sit around the pool amongst the mango and coconut trees, listening to familiar tunes, drinking rum punch, you will know why we have picked Shades of Barbados as one of our preferred accommodation suppliers for those who are looking for that luxury boutique accommodation. This is perfect for families to reconnect or for that girlfriend spa getaway.
If you go to Barbados and you have not stayed at Shades you have not been to Barbados.
