My wife an I just spent 3 incredible weeks at this beautiful property!!
First and foremost Clare (the owner) is a "gem" of a human being, and owner!! We wish they were all like her!! Months before arrival we communicated with her as we needed to, and she always responded quickly and honestly. Thank you Clare, you're the best!!!
The property is as advertised and even better! A 2 minute walk to the bank and restaurants. Grocery shopping is about a 8 minute walk, or 2 minutes by car, as is the beach. We rented a car because we wanted to explore other beaches and not just the closest ones. My wife and I are beach & pool people, so Pineapple Lodge was absolutely perfect for us. A swim in the pool before heading to the beach in the morning, and then a nice swim in the pool in late afternoon upon our return (after getting the sand off of our feet of course ;). The villa is extremely private with 10' ft+ bushes flanking the edge of the property. All landscaping is beautifully maintained weekly, as is the pool. The housekeeper comes in twice a week to freshen the linens and towels and is happy to be of help if you have any questions or concerns.
I could go on and on, but as you can see we had an absolutely wonderful 3 week experience choosing to stay at Pineapple Lodge, and dealing with Clare, the owner.
My wife and I like to feel local when we travel. The combination of the beautiful and warm Bajan people, along with the homeyness and location of Pineapple Lodge and its amenities, allowed us to settle right in and feel at home almost immediately after arrival, once we adjusted our internal clocks to "Island time", from hyper North American time.. ;) lol
We hope to return to Barbados sometime soon, and when we do, hopefully Pineapple Lodge will be available for us to book and enjoy once again!!
Like Clare, Pineapple Lodge is a true Gem, so don't hesitate to book it if you're considering staying there!!
