1 bed & 2/3 bed apartments @ Mullins Bay - just 350 yards to the beach

My family (including a 9 year old and a 7 year old) stayed in the Garden Apartment for about 12 days in August 2010. The apartment is set in a beautifully maintained secluded garden with a lovely pool. The apartment itself was a real home from home - clean, comfortable and with all mod-cons. It was extremely hot whilst we were the there, but thanks to the aircon the bedrooms were deliciously cool. There are only two other properties in the grounds, so it is quiet and you can maintain your privacy if you want (though we found it more fun to mingle!) The staff were extremely friendly and obliging but also discreet.

The listing was spot on, and we were not disappointed with the accommodation in any way. The owners (Simon and Sarah) provide a really helpful guide to the island including lots of first-hand advice and recommendations for local restaurants, shopping, beaches, activities etc, which proved invaluable.

The setting was so perfect that we spent a lot of time just sitting on the large deck under the mango tree, with a rum punch watching the hummingbirds and flycatchers whilst the kids splashed in the pool. We did make it at least as far as Mullins Beach (an easy 5 minute stroll) on most days. Mullins Beach is fairly small but there's lots to do including a variety of watersports and the kids loved the floating trampoline and inflatable iceberg; hot dogs and drinks are available from the beach restaurant and there's a kiosk selling cold drinks, ice creams and trinkets. Gibbs Beach, which is quieter and more secluded, is a short walk along the sand from Mullins. We also got out and about a bit, and visited some of the other beaches - our favourite was probably Miami beach (on the south coast) and Crane Beach is also worth a visit (less to do, but stunning).

We had some great meals out including The Fish Pot near Speightstown, Cassareep Cafe and Dazzlers Sports Bar. But best of all was barbecuing the fantastically fresh (and cheap) fish from the market on our own deck.

As regards other things to do, the catamaran cruise round the coast which includes a delicious lunch and the chance to snorkel with turtles, should not be missed. Grenade Hall wildlife park and signal station is also recommended.

Overall a perfect holiday, and the garden apartment was a wonderful home during our regrettably short stay, and strongly recommended.

We had the pleasure of staying in the Garden apartment for 10 days in January 2010 with our 2.5 year old daughter. We found the property exactly as described and as seen on the photos. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you might possibly need. Large deck overlooking beautiful lush garden is fantastic. There were a lot of toys, games and DVDs to provide entertainment for our daughter.
The property is located in a quiet residential area a short walk from Mullins beach. We were not impressed by the beach but it was ok. We had a lunch or two at the beach restaurant and found it nice but overpriced. There are better dining options a short bus ride up and down the coast. Ten minute walk south from Mullins is Gibbes beach which is more quiet and scenic.
We have also used one of the recommended catering options on two occasions and it was very good and inexpensive - highly recommended. Also be sure to check out the fish market nearby, very cheap and as fresh as it gets!
Overall, I would definitely recommend the property to anyone but especially families with small children. We would love to come back with friends or family one day and stay in the main house!

Im not exaggerating when i say this was the perfect holiday.

As soon as we arrived at Mullins bay pool apartment i felt the stress of England melt away.

The Pool apartment was perfect for my boyfriend and i. We hired a car and explored the island most days- but always looked forward to coming back to the house to jump in the pool.

The location is perfect- the most beautiful beach at the end of the road (about 300 yards).

Booking the apartment was simple- A couple of emails and it was all sorted. Sarah always responded quickly and provided us with loads of info to help us enjoy our stay.

Be aware that eating out can be at be pricey- however the facilities at the pool apartment made self catering very easy with everything provided.

i have told all my friends to visit this gorgeous island- but trying to keep mullins Bay a secret- as i want to make sure i can re visit a piece of paradise sometime soon.
