A great place, great location and great hospitality

We returned from a wonderful 2 week stay in East and West Villa. We loved everything about it, Carlton was there to greet us on our arrival and from then on was on hand if we had any concerns or questions. The villa's are spacious, the pools are lovely and the location makes for a great holiday on a great island.

Quiet and relaxing but close to shopping & beach

Everything was as described and very well organized. Pool is lovely. The only thing broken was the air conditioner in the second bedroom.

Great location...near beach, shops,resturants...villa layout very nice and spacious. Property manager very friendly and readily available. Some updates needed (larger beds in all rooms, shower faucets, air conditioning noise and cooking pots/utensils, housekeeper duties). Would definitely stay there again

What a fantastic Villa, great location and well looked after by Carlton and his team.

We have just come back from Barbados where we have had a fantastic stay at West Pool. We have been going to Barbados for several years,but have only just discovered Carlton,his team and his great Villas.We will definitely be going back, we have all loved it! Great location and fantastic for us with our 8 year old daughter,she loved the pool. Easy access to Holetown on foot,so whilst we hired a car,we didn't really need one.

Perfect Getaway

Carlton - thanks so much for a wondeful place to relax and enjoy family time. The villa was kid friendly (pool and beach toys too!) and we walked to dinner on the beach every night. I would highly recommend this to couples or families. The car rental worked great - we drove to some great places, the Nature Reserve and Harrisons Cave were our favorites, and the west coast beaches were terrific. We all can't wait to come back!

Beautiful villa

It’s in a perfect location close to beach, shops, bars and restaurants. The bus stop is just around the corner. Beautiful birds in the garden and the occasional visit from the monkeys. Carlton was very helpful and we look forward to going back. Thank you Carlton, Peggy and Sarina for everything.

Great Location, great villa, great staff

This place is 5 minutes walk from the beach, 3 minutes from Limegrove Mall and first & 2nd street Holetown. 7 minutes from the Supermarket, which by the way is a brand new top notch supermarket which was opened in November 2017. Villa has a nice flowing design, the pool is great and bigger than a plunge pool, nice for short laps. Staff all nice. Overall great experience.

This was our first holiday in Barbados. Our party was four people and we all really enjoyed our stay at Lascelles. Carlton was super host and couldn't have been more helpful. East Pool Villa was perfect for our needs. very quite clean and spacious.

Great location,very good villa with pool and very well looked after by Carlton and his team.

This was our second stay at West Pool and we will definitely be going back.The location is perfect for Holetown,it’s restaurants, the new supermarket and Limegrove. A car isn’t really necessary as it’s only a short walk to hop on the Reggae Bus. We did hire a car from Carlton as we like to do an island tour,across to the East Coast . We were very well looked after by Carlton and his team.

Simply amazing villa

From start to finish Mr Jordan and his staff was amazing. Always responsive, rental car was very convenient, the villa was clean and as pictured and had cold water and banks beer waiting on us which is great local beer. The pool was simply amazing to have when you aren't in the mood for sand and the outside shower was handy especially coming back from the beach which is in walking distance. I will for sure return again.

Paridise in Barbados

This was the first trip to Barbados. Much to our surprise was the condo we rented from Carlton. The unit is beautiful and Carlton has been a great person to deal with right from the beginning. A second visit will be a must for the future. Lyle & Sandy

Ideal Vacation Villa

A wonderful place to stay, near to Holetown activity, shopping, restaurants, a comfortable local beach, and yet a peaceful serene oasis to return to in the evening. Carlton is a wonderful host, always present if needed but never intrusive. The Vida Mejor Villa has a lovely secluded pool surrounded by lush gardens; the interior is very spacious and easily accomodated our family of 4 with enough extra space that we never felt cramped. Kids loved the high speed internet. When we return to Barbados, we will without doubt return.

Best Barbados trip ever!!

Carlton made our Barbados holiday a trip of a life time. He was there to meet us at the door with a grand tour of his Waterfall Villa and there when it was our last minute on the island. He also provided us with a rent a car at a value and was there to answer any questions we had about the island. Our accomadations were the best and we would recommend them to anyone! With in walking distance to the town for shopping, dinning and the beach for swimming or relaxing. I would recommend The Waterfall Villa to anybody who wants a beautifully up graded accommodations at a value.

wonderful vacation at Vida Mejor Villa

We have been going to Barbados for the last 5 years and have been staying three years at the same villa, and we will most certainly be going back. The villa is impeccable and has all the comfort you can expect, a beautiful garden gives you privacy to refresh in the pool and the owner Carlton and Peggy take good care of their visitors, always available and making sure we have all that we need. The villa is in Jamestown Park in Holetown, at a walking distance to the beach, shopping center, restaurants and a beautiful chattel village in which you can find real treasures! You will not go wrong if you rent one of the Vida Mejor Villas!

Excellent stay

We spend our Honeymoon at Vida Mejor Villa. Lots of Privacy and very comfortable. Every other day a maid service that is very helpfull and friendly. It is only a short walk to Holetown and the Marine reserve. Everything is taken care of in a friendly and helpfull way and there's is no need to worry about a thing. Beeing Dutch we liked the fact that we got lot's of good quality space, with a private pool, at a much better price then an average hotel room. Go visit the website and enjoy yourself!!!! We will definetely come back.

A fantastic villa in a perfect location, literally home from home and a lot more.

We have just returned from two weeks in the East Pool Villa. The villa has everything you could possible need, it is in a very central location with just minutes walk from Hometown and a variety of restaurants. Venture out a bit further north and discover De Outback restaurant for a taste of real Barbados. And Carlton. thank you for everything it was like staying with a very good friend. Beautiful beaches, endless sunshine and Carlton keep thinking about how to package that sunshine - I'm sure it will sell. ;-)

Loved it !!!!

My family and I stayed at poolside and east pool villas and honestly cannot complain about anything aside from the perfect location in Holetown and everything being so close ... The villas accommodations were great. Carlton greeted us at 5am as we arrived early; he gave us a detailed tour of the property and was there responding to all inquires if needed. He even went as far as letting us know what crop over events would be taking place while we were in town. Carlton was able to accommodate us on such short notice and the process from reserving and renting the villa to arriving and departing was seamless. I would recommend this villa to anyone looking to stay in Holetown and will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to Barbados. Thank again Carlton!

East pool villa July/Aug 2007

Hi Carlton, arrived home safely a few hours ago. Very tired but holding lots of fabulous memories. Your villa was outstanding and perfect in every way. We desperately want to return next year so we will have to do some money calculations and get back to you. Thankyou for the hospitality shown from yourself and your family. It was second to none. You are a nation of beautiful people and should be proud of it. We had a warm welcome everywhere we went. Thanks again and hope to see you around the same time next year. Speak soon. Jane, Terry, Tricia and Steve. x

HOLETOWN Villa Rental

We've rented villa's in other Carribean countries, but this unit is at the top of the list. Barbados, and it's people, is an under publicized vacation alternative, and that's a good thing. Our villa, with it's close proximity to restaurants, the beach, and shopping this property has everything to offer. The villa, and grounds are superb, and the pool is maintained daily. The housekeeper (Fay) takes pride in her ability to ensure each unit is clean and ready to go. Ryan (taxi driver) is a recommended alternative to renting a car. We rented a car, however the Barbados highway system can be a challenge, as the roads are not very well marked.Carlton went out of his way to ensure we were made welcome, and was always ready to answer any questions or make recommendations. I would definitly recommend this property to any friend or family member, and look forward to retuning.

Wonderful restful holiday

The Villa is well located away from the main road but near enough to the beach, restuarants and nightlife. Literally a five minute walk. The pool was very refreshing but not too cold not to enjoy and was kept well maintained and cleaned throughout stay. The Villa was also serviced by a lovely lady (Peggy) who cleaned and changed bed linen etc on a regular basis. The villa has an alarm system which does not require keys to lock nad secure villa. This was helpful when you want to go jogging as you dont need to take a key with you! The villa also has a large enough safe to keep your valuables in including camera equipment etc. My only comment would be and has been suggested to the pleasant owner is that it is in need of a little cosmetic surgery! I mean a paint job on the outside and a few very minor repair jobs internally. I would most definitely rent this villa again.

Our stay out Vida Mejor - Waterfall

My wife and I have 4 children under the age of 9 and we can safely say that this villa was absolutely perfect. Not only was the villa well maintained, clean and with all the facilities you would expect in a hotel, Carlton, the owner and manager is a smashing fellow and certainly ensures that your needs are more than catered for. He is the epitome of world class customer service and nothing was too much trouble for him. In fact we couldn't find a 7 seater vehicle to rent on the island and Carlton not only bought one, the car was excellent and suited our family needs. The Villa is located close to the local beech in Holetown in a very safe and friendly neighbourhood, there's a shopping mall about 10 minutes slow walk away and Carlton can put you in touch with the people who run the amenities at the beech. I can safely say it's a home from home and I knew it would be excellent as my relatives who live in Barbados have used the villa when they have a staycation. We would definitely recommend this villa to any friend or relative. Chris and Katie Cummins.
