Picked up at the airport by Ronaldo from exquisite taxi excellent help to fast track through the airport would All details on entry etc e.mailed to us by Sharon before departure from Uk,lovely gated community.Met on arrival by Diana property manager who gave us a quick tour ,the bedrooms were all of a lovely size and well presented.Only 2of us so we chose to stay in the downstairs bedroom which also had Tv and excellent air conditioning as well as a ceiling fan.sitting room appeared smaller than it looked in the pictures but fine for us.Pool was full of leaves on our arrival but Diana asked the pool man to return,most days my husband had to skim the pool with the net ,inevitable when there is such a lovely garden with lush foliage and pretty birds and butterflies in abundance . We hired a small car as we were staying for 3 weeks and wanted to explore the island as this was our first time.Easy drive here as same side as Uk all cars seem to be automatic.Be prepared for the very bumpy roads and big potholes,we went to pretty much all of the Island.Enjoyed the Flower cave had lunch in the restaurant with lovely views of the Atlantic. Food is expensive to buy in the supermarkets take coffee with you as quite a saving. Sharon has thought of providing,parasol,fold up chairs and cool bag which we used most days for picnic lunch at the beach,also sun hats and shopping bags available. Heron beach is a short walk or take the car if you have one easy to carry everything.Beach shelves a little but lovely warm sea and lots of small crabs.Back home to the pool and sun beds. We ate out for dinner most evenings,on Sharon’s recommendation we tried Lonestar,Tides,Fishpot our favorite restaurant was Seashed we also enjoyed Fusion and Nishi. The only minor criticism is that there is quite a busy road which the garden backs onto and traffic could be a little noisy at times. We loved Barbados always felt safe everywhere we will be back hopefully in the not too distant future. Forgot to mention Bernadette the wonderful cleaner she is a ray of sunshine and don’t forget to go to the fish fry at Oistins not to be missed best fish I had and cheapest. U

There were 5 of us in our party and the 3 spacious en suite bedrooms and outside space in the garden and pool area was plentiful. The villa is a 10/15 minute stroll from the beach , bakery and 3 local restaurants. You have a choice of some more upmarket beach side restaurants these are a short drive/taxi away as well as casual beach type bars about a 20 minute walk. Interaction and information was always available from the owner and both the villa manager and housekeeper were always on hand and very helpful. The villa is in a gated community but everywhere felt very safe to explore , the pool and surrounding gardens are very nice with sun and shaded areas to suit all tastes , although we were made aware of some issues with some local construction vehicles passing by the garden it’s fair to say that it is very intrusive to have cement mixers and large trucks passing within 20 feet of the pool and at times it was a regular stream of vehicles throughout the day which unfortunately made relaxing around the pool area very difficult with the noise and diesel fumes. The owner is trying to stop the vehicles but it would be remiss of me not to mention the issue. Once the construction work vehicles cease to operate I would highly recommend the property for visiting the Holetown area.

I've been to Beija Flor 3 times now and I love the place. Sharon has been very accommodating for us over the years with our growing family. The house is perfect for our family because its a perfect location being so close to Holetown, the highway isn't too far away, the beach is a short walk down the road, be careful of traffic but its one of my top 5 beaches in Barbados. If you don't mind a 20 minute walk in the sun then you can get to the super market, Limegrove centre and Holetown Chattel village. You could actually do this holiday without a car with the bus links and taxis, but Diana (the house manager) helped us sort an 8 seater car from Farleys car rentals, which was much more reasonable than other rentals we have had (around £600 for 2 weeks). The kids were out in the pool every morning and have since learned to not fear full submersion, which was slightly daunting; but they had a fantastic holiday. We would go back anytime, but sadly our family may be getting too big now, but I'd recommend this house to anyone looking around Barbados for somewhere to stay. The only negative thing I can say about my trip was that in the second week some building work started on the fields behind the estate and they added a road for trucks in the bushes a few metres from the pool area. Barbados doesn't have regulations about informing people of work or noise regulations. This doesn't reflect badly on this property and there is nothing that could have been done about it, it could have happened anywhere. We still carried on using the pool, sitting outside and traveling around the island. If you go to Barbados, I highly recommend traveling around the island. Flying Fish for lunch at Bathsheba, rum tasting at St Nicolas Abbey, swimming in the Animal Flower cave, Oistens fish fry (when its back to its lively nature) and a massive recommendation to Cool Runnings with their Sunset cruise. Go, and enjoy it all! A big thank you again to Sharon, we had a great trip.

Wow! Just back from a fabulous fortnight in Barbados in a superb villa. Beija Flor is a very well equipped and tastefully furnished villa. On our arrival, everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything needed to cater for six people. All the bedrooms are light and cool with very comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. Outside, the garden is well tended welcoming many birds, insects and the occasional monkey! The good sized pool affords welcome relief from the heat. Whilst the villa sells itself, we also have to say that this is enhanced by Team Beija Flor – what a superb team, who go the extra mile to ensure your holiday is a wonderful experience. All in all a first class holiday in a lovely villa in an excellent location for exploring the many beautiful beaches and places of interest in Barbados. Definitely to be repeated! Thanks to all Phil, Mandy, Lucy and Curt

The villa itself was everything we needed for the 6 of us. Very roomy, lovely pool which felt like it was heated after the sun was on it all day, very spacious rooms, en suite with large walk in wardrobes and air conditioned. A gardener and pool cleaner visited regularly and were lovely (the gardener even gave me and my sister-in-law a lift one day as he recognised us down the road). The people of Barbados are so friendly and welcoming where ever you go. Bernadette was our house keeper who came a couple of times a week to clean etc. Such a lovely woman, helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for being close enough to amenities AND being away from it all. The only noise at night was the tree frogs! With a slow walk to the local beach it took us about 10 minutes. The beach is small and secluded but has a 'hut' that serves drinks and basic food, a souvenir shop, cafe/bar and public toilets. There are a few reefs to snorkel around and there is a life guard on duty too. It was our favourite place to go for a relaxing day. We used the local buses almost every day as they are cheap, convenient and great fun. The Reggae busses are the best with music playing and brightly painted interiors. And again the drivers and conductors were extremely helpful and friendly. We used them to take us into Bridgetown, Speitstown and St Lawrence Gap. Taxis are readily available too but get them to give you a price before you get in as the charges vary considerably. I liked dealing with the villa owner, Sharon, directly as it made it easier and quicker to deal with the whole booking. Overall a very relaxed holiday at a wonderful location and I would recommend it to families or a group of friends.

Beira Flor is a fantastic villa located just outside Holetown on west coast of Barbados. We were 3 couples and this was all of our first time in Barbados so we didn’t really know exactly what to expect. When we booked Sharon’s villa we read all of the reviews, but when we opened the front door we really impressed. The villa had everything that we could wish for, especially the three very large en-suite bedrooms, each with a large walk in wardrobe and large comfortable beds, and safes. The kitchen had everything we needed including a massive fridge freezer with automatic ice maker (essential for the G & T’s!). The whole villa was really clean and tidy, with well tended garden. The pool was really good, with 6 sun loungers, and the whole garden caught the sun for most of day. We had hummingbirds visiting every day, and as the garden backs on to forest, we quite often saw monkeys first thing in the morning. The villa is on a road that at times was a bit noisy, but this was mainly due to the lorries going to road works taking place about half mile away - don’t let this put you off! There is a great beach a slow 10 minute walk away, and Holetown is about a 20 minute walk, with some good restaurants enroute. Beija Flor villa is in a brilliant villa in a brilliant location for a holiday in Barbados, and we would highly recommend it. Thank you Sharon.

This is an amazing villa which is clean and comfortable. There is a lovely pool, pretty garden and covered terrace. The owner is extremely helpful and is quick and keen to respond to any queries or issues you may have. We have been many times and love returning each year.

Final day of two week satay at Beija Flor and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From first booking contact Sharon has been responsive and helpful. On arrival and throughout we have had a warm and hospitable welcome from Venus, who's son Renaldo collected from and is taking us back to the airport. Great villa, everything we needed for our family (me and the Mrs, daughter 18 and son 13). Great to have a car ($60 US a day) to explore the island. 15 minute walk into Holetown where we spent many happy evenings, though we usually got a cab back. Special recommendation for Nishi restaurant which was excellent. Prices locally are expensive, typical meal for a family of four about £150 and the supermarket prices are high for imported products but don't let that put you off a fantastic experience with wonderfully friendly people. Humming birds and monkeys visit the garden which was great. Pool absolutely fantastic. Everything that we could want in the villa was available. Visited loads: Garrison Savanah for the horse racing, Hamilton Caves (great for poor weather days), Welchmans Hall Gully, Fishing/snorkeling trip with Baywatch Team and Captain Michael from Folkestone Marina, (best trip vote from the family), walking distance from villa, Crane Beach Hotel and beach (fantastic Sunday brunch with amazing service and views), Bathsheba, Mullins beach, Oistins (great on Friday evening, feeding turtles off the jetty), Mount Gay Rum Factory. All to be recommended. One of our best family holidays - even able to watch the Premier league on a Saturday! To be recommended all round

We (3 adults) stayed in Beija Flor for 12 days. It has great, spacious bedrooms with very comfortable beds and air-conditioning. The bathrooms and walk-in closets were good as well. The space in the kitchen and living-room could be a bit tight if a larger family stays but for us 3 it was exactly the right size. It was very convenient that we had air-conditioning the living room//kitchen area as well. We had breakfast out on the terrace every day and also enjoyed the pool most days. To have 3 sun-umbrellas was fantastic and the sunbeds were very comfortable. The trees provide some shade, too. The house is conveniently located not just for sightseeing, to shops and restaurants, but also for the west coast beaches. We would strongly advise to rent a car, though. Sometimes it's difficult to find parking close to the beaches on the West coast, but in the South it's not a problem at all. The road close to the house is a busy one so you will have some noise, but it's still okay. Last, but not least, the house is named appropriately: We saw a hummingbird most days. :-)

We have just got back from Beija Flor after our 2nd stay there. Its a great location, not too busy and has a short walk to the beach and bars. Great for families. We couldn't keep the kids out of the pool. The cleaner Venus was also very friendly to talk to. The only issue I had was that I had to spend 30 minutes cleaning the bbq because other guests had left it very messy. Will return in the future.
