My wife and I have just returned from a wonderfully relaxing vacation in Barbados. The accomodations at Glitter Bay are like staying in a condo with service and amenities. The beach is fabulous. Beach chairs and umbrella can be assigned for the duration of your stay so there is no early morning competition for a good spot. A beachside bar... More

My wife and I stayed at Glitter Bay for eleven nights in February. The Glitter Bay complex is a wonderful winter retreat just a few steps from the beach and with a good pool when the sea is too rough for swimming. There are plenty of comfortable sun-loungers on the beach and if you talk to the beach staff you'll... More

Both times, we had a wonderful vacation with our two kids. Location was perfect, beautiful beach and staff friendly and helpful. So close to Holetown for groceries, shopping and restaurants. This time we... More

Our stay in apartment 308 'Splendido' for two weeks at the end of July 2012 was the most amazing relaxing holiday. Glitter Bay beach is beautiful, very peaceful, lovely to swim, walk and chill. We loved Ramshackle beach bar for lunch or evenings - a short stroll along the sand from our apartment. The grounds and open space at Glitter... More

We definitely werent disappointed and loved every minute of our stay, even though the baby got ill on the second day (i think a bug picked up on the aeroplane) then... More
