The Big Con Job
I was caught in the old "bait and switch trap". Advertised as Annabelle's Apartments (Stayed before) but nothing like them. To be far I was contacted and told the Apartment was across the street. What was left out it was actually "Innes Apartment" attached to a restaurant called the "Old Vic" . Deal breaker no A/c, and a little in need of upgrade. Pictures relating to this apartment are so misleading to the extent of major mis-representation. I have to partially blame myself so being so gullible but having stayed before and had a good experience I thought this would be the same. Would be curious to know if the owners of Annabelle's know the Apartments are being used as Bait?

My stay at Annabelle’s was really nice . Great location right next to Mr Vics restaurant. Garage a few minutes walk selling anything I needed. Bus stop just outside the apartment making it easy to go to Bridgetown etc. Payne’s bay beach across the road which is beautiful. Owners of the apartment very friendly. Will definatley stay there again . Barbados is a beautiful country, never had a bad experience there. Felt safe as I was on my own .

We had a fabulous and relaxing stay at Annabelle's apartment in the upper one bedroom. We took full advantage of the kitchen and bbq and really enjoyed eating, having our coffee and reading on the private balcony. The view of the ocean and sunset was really nice -- and better than in the pictures. We also really appreciated having beach loungers provided that we could use on the beach. Donna was very attentive and checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Beach location
The 1 bedroom is very small with not much counter space. The king size bed is 2 mattresses pushed together. Had difficulty with the road noise for sleeping. This unit is on the road side and the 2 bedroom is on the beach. On a return I would rent the 2 bedroom, more spacious and on the beach.

Lovely accommodations right on the beach
We had a good fortune to spend 10 pleasant and enjoyable days at Annabelle's in the 1-br apartment upstairs. It's cozy, clean, comfortable, light and has everything we needed. Having morning coffee on the terrace while looking over azure waters of Paynes Bay was wonderful. Two nights we stayed in and cooked meats and veggies on the grill, which was fun and delicious. Location in the middle of Paynes Bay is great in all respects. The beach right in front is nothing but gentle sand and if you feel more adventurous you can go hiking for miles along the shore or snorkeling. Lots of interesting reefs to snorkel are towards the south near Fish Market. On our last day we were allowed to use the room almost all day until our flight time. As for cons, there is a bus stop directly in front of the place, so be prepared to hear ridiculously loud buses taking off all day long, with generous honking. Majority of bus drivers drive like they are in a competition -- flooring that gas pedal until the engine can rev no more, so you can hear the bus as it's speeding away for quite some time. The good news is, this behavior stops in the later hours and doesn't resume till early AM. So all our nights were blissful and super quiet. When it's 7-7:30 am though you'll definitely hear them again. Also, sometimes there is not enough hot water for everyone and you get only barely warm water in the shower. Overall we were very pleased, think we received excellent value and would love to come back again!

A little gem
Loved this apartment. Ok it was small and pretty basic, but the location was amazing ..right on the beach.Next door there are apartments for sale at US$4,250,00.00 a few minutes stroll down the beach is Sandy Lane. We paid very little money to be sharing the same view and beach , how could it not be a place to consider The only slight niggle was the sofa wasn't the most comfortable !! We even had the use of sunbeds to take on the beach

Do not stay in this dump! It is a big rip off. This property should not be listed on any website. The apartment we stayed in was just a bed placed in a run down kitchen. We booked 21 days but was ready to leave when we saw the place. I tried to get a refund but the owner refused saying that she had also refused refunds in the past. I lost all of my money. I had to pay another large sum of money to stay at another hotel that was comfortable. Hotels.com should not list this dump. Also, no hotel should have a no-refund policy. If hotels care about providing good service, they should be willing to issue refunds if guests were as unhappy as my son and I were. The owner, Anne, knows that with her no-refund policy, she is raking in money for a dump that is empty. What a scam!

Beach cottage
We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment/beach cottage, facing the sea. Unfortunately there was construction work next door while we were there. The noise was pretty bad. The owner did warn us about the noise a week before we arrived and gave us 10% discount. It was not the owner's fault that there was this noise. Donna was very helpful. She provided any little thing we asked for, like more cutlery. She checked every day that everything was ok. Great to have free laundry facilities as we were mid-stay while we were in the cottage. We did stay at two other hotels so the noise did not spoil our holiday. The property was clean and the furniture adequate. The bed linen and towels were high quality. There was a good choice of tv channels and good wi-fi reception throughout our stay. While we were there we were visited by a green lizard, just like the one in 'Death in Paradise'!

Building works and road noise.
As there were building works in the next door apartments, which started at 8am and went on all day, we only stayed one night and they found us an alternative. Due to the proximity to the road, and the need to have windows open as there is no air-con, it was difficult to get much sleep. The location right on the beach is excellent, but the economy apartment faces the road, and has no private outside space. Future guests should be aware of this.

Très déçu
L'emplacement de l'appartement réservé initialement n'a pas ete respecté. La tv ne comprenait qu'une seule chaîne. La literie était tres usée. L'emplacement de l'appartement se trouvait à 200m de l'autre côté de la route. Du coup, tres bruyant avec le passage des voitures et des coups de Klaxons intempestifs.

Appartment in Strandnähe
Unsere Ankunft war früher als geplant, wir wurden trotzdem freudlich empfangen und konnten es schon beziehen. Leider ist direkt daneben eine grosse Baustelle. Deswegen war an ein gemütliches Ausschlafen und Frühstücken nicht zu denken. Dafür gab es hinter der Wohnung einen wundervollen Strand den wir dann schon frühmorgens aufgesucht haben.Angenehm waren auch die Strandliegen die mit zum Appartment gehören und die Gartendusche im Fußweg zum Strand. Die Strasse an der das Appartment liegt ist viel befahren und genau gegenüber sind zwei Bushaltestellen.
