Sea Symphony Villa

"My wife and I separately landed on the ad for SeaSymphony while researching places to stay for our second week in Barbados. We were a bit worried it was too good to be true. It turned out to be So Good and Definitely True! The villa is located in the Checker Hall region in St Lucy on Northwest coast of Barbados. It was beautiful and pretty quiet and exactly what we needed after a fairly loud but fun week in St Lawrence Gap. It took a couple of days to get adjusted really, and we were stunned at the amount of house we had just for us two. We were toured around the house by Dorious cleaner and laundress extraordinaire and the proprietor Dr. Dorothy Roberts. We then met the masterful Chef Lindrey who welcomed us with fresh Bajan fishcakes that were the perfect antidote from a bumpy and warm hourlong taxi journey. I could go on for hours, so let me try to summarize. For negatives or potential negatives, the bed in the room we selected was a little firm and the pillows weren't the best (we pilfered extra pillows from unused rooms with permission) but this is very minor - we slept soundly. The location is pretty remote so if you're looking for lively, this might not be for you. If you're looking for a flop and drop to just chill and relax and unwind, this IS your spot. This is perfect if you're renting a car. If you don't have a car, Taxis ( cheers, Chris!) and the local bus service are available. $3.50 gets you to Holetown (1 way, per person) on the yellow or blue busses which run frequently. You can get to Speightstown, Holetown, or Bridgetown and beyond easily enough. The beach that's straight down from the villa is pretty small and the surf seemed quite rough most of the time, but there's meant to be good snorkelling down there - but you'd want to be an able swimmer. I think there's a beach kind of around the corner to the south, but we didn't go there and I don't know if there's any services. There is a lot of beach kit available at the villa, particularly for kiddies. The beach/pool towels at the villa are the nicest ones I've ever experienced. With a little exploration, you should be able to find the right spot. The villa and the pool speak for themselves but the real value add are Chef Lindrey and Dorious. Dorious keeps the villa squeaky clean, spotless! AND she does your laundry. We rolled in with a weeks worth of dirty laundry and she handled it like a champ, and stocked the wardrobe better than a retail shop when the laundry was done. This is such a huge benefit as we went through a lot of clothes in the heat, and typical hotel laundry is $$$$$. Chef Lindrey is delightful and interesting to chat to as well as having the experience of having prepared food in hotels, cruise ships, and restaurants for 50 years. Every meal was a delight. Fish, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Veg - he does it all to perfection! As mentioned previously, his potatoes dauphinois are simply off the hook good. Ok so much for summarizing! Sea Symphony Villa is definitely all it's"
