The Paynes Bay Apartments:-

SUNBEAMS - GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT : For up to 6 people.

SUNDANCE - UPPER FLOOR APARTMENT : For up to 9 people.

These 2 apartments can be rented separately or together - therefore they are ideal for a couple, a family or a group of friends. Prices for renting this property for dates within the next 14 months can be viewed by scrolling down this page.

Paynes Bay Apartments occupy both floors of an attractive, spacious, privately owned, 2 storey detached property.

THE LOCATION:-

Located just 50 metres from stunning Paynes Bay - within the parish of St. James - on Barbados' beautiful ‘platinum’ west coast.

Paynes Bay is a white sand, palm tree-lined beach - washed by the crystal-clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Here you can swim and snorkel with the turtles.

Parasols, sun loungers, drinks and snacks are readily available on the beach.

There is a tiny church on the corner of the road and further up the hill there are traditional Bajan chattel houses mixed in with stone-built villas. Palm trees, breadfruit trees, hibiscus plants and all kinds of tropical flowers abound.

You can buy fresh fish from the fishermen on beach across the road.

The Texaco Service Station is a 2 minute walk away. Here you can buy basic items such as water, bread, milk and juice - but not fruit and vegetables. Jordan’s Supermarket is approximately a 20 minute walk/short bus ride away.

Superb restaurants abound on the west coast and a couple of excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance of the apartments. Should you wish to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, Sandy Lane - one of the most expensive and exclusive hotels in the world - is located in the next bay.

The bus stop is just across the road from the apartments and BDS$ 1.50 takes you to anywhere on the island. Sunset Crest & Holetown are a 20-25 minute walk - or a short bus ride away - to the north. Here you will find an excellent selection of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets plus other amenities including bars, banks, a supermarket, post office, medical centres, a cyber café and an air-conditioned shopping mall with duty free shops.

Many water sports including jet-skiing, water-skiing, para-gliding, snorkelling and scuba diving are available locally. Several tennis courts are available for hire and 2 world-class golf courses - The Royal Westmoreland and Sandy Lane - are within easy reach.

THE ACCOMMODATION:-

The Paynes Bay Apartments are decorated to a high standard with excellent facilities and an eye for style and comfort. There are many added personal touches such as the option of your very own housekeepers in order to make your experience that extra bit special. If you would like an evening of pampering and relaxation, they will be pleased to cook for you if you give them prior notice.

GUEST BOOK.

"Hi Irene

Just a quick note from Barbados (now we have found a WiFi spot we can hook into from the bedroom here).....to say we arrived safely & that everything in Sundance is lovely.

The area around the apartment is very quiet, but we're gradually managing to find more bars etc. to hop on a bus to....& the beach is right on the doorstep of course.

Thanks for your help & advice on the run up to this holiday, we very much appreciated it".

CAROLYN & ALAN - UK. APRIL/MAY/JUNE 2010.

"Quick note to say we had a fantastic time and were really pleased with Sundance. Very spacious and covered all our needs. The cleaning lady was lovely whilst Tony the handyman was a character! Both very friendly, as was everyone on the island.

Highlights of the trip (to name but a few) were:

Submarine trip (not great swimmers unfortunately)

Trip to Oistins on a Friday night

Dinner and drinks at the Cliff (views amazing, as was the bill!)

Tour of the cricket ground in Bridgetown

Thanks for all your help, tips and advice. Was much appreciated".
