“Great home base for exploring the country”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2011

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed ourselves - the grounds of the property are lovely, and we had the beach across the road to ourselves for the most part. The room was clean, and had all of the appliances, dishes, etc. necessary to make meals if you wanted. Chandra does have dogs, but we found them quite well-behaved. By our third day there, they were so used to us that they didn't even seem to notice when we came in the gate!

Chandra arranged taxi service to and from the airport for us; the rest of the time, we used local buses to get around. These are inexpensive, can get you pretty much anywhere on the island, and are loads of fun (especially if you take a yellow bus!). The bus stops were about a 30 second walk from Angler's. If you can, ask Chandra to make you a meal - we did this twice. Her meals are excellent and reasonably priced. She also makes awesome rum punch!

When we travel, we like to learn about local culture and history as much as possible, and to feel that we've seen things beyond the typical tourist-oriented stuff. Consequently, we wouldn't be happy staying at one of the many luxury resorts in the area - Angler's was a comfortable, quiet home base for our trip.

“Amazing and Perfect, Beautiful Spot, Great Location, Everything We Wanted”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2011

Angler Apartments is great. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, no frills but beautiful lush gardens and a access to a private path to a private, secluded and beautiful beach with great snorkeling. The place has character, comfortable clean rooms with AC, a beautiful breezy porch and Chandra is a wonderful caretaker who arranged an effortless and cheap car rental for us, called taxis, gave good, honest advice, and acted like a wise, local friend. The west side of Barbados is the place to be for relaxed, adventurous, and beautiful surroundings with great food. The price was affordable and we were so happy not to be in the resorts of the south side. We went down to that area for a night out, which was fun and enjoyable, but I just remember being so glad coming "home" to "our spot" at Anglers. Simply fantastic vacation. - Aaron

“When in Barbados stay with a hosts from Barbados”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is my second time to Barbados. Everyone knows how friendly the people are. The present owner of the Angler Apartments is not born in Barbados and it was SO evident.
Non of the friendly, warm Barbados welcome here. Money only.

I booked online with my credit card but the lady wanted I went to the bank and brought her cash! So take all your money with you! Don't ask for anything, because you won't get anything.

The apartments are very simple. Fridge,bedside lamps, air con' etc all not working. In 8 days the apartment was cleaned twice. The greenery around the place is nice and it's quiet. There is a beautiful beach nearby. But for the rest it's a bus ride.

There are other apartments in the area better quality for similar price.

Chandra Gosain, Manager at Angler Apartments, responded to this review
29 January 2011
This guest did not want to pay her bill as she claimed she paid the travel agent. Travel agents do not collect monies on behlaf of the hotel. I showed her her reservation and also that I did not charge her card for a deposit. She said she would contact the agency and then decided to pay me in BDS$.
The statement about the a/c and appliances are untrue as most appliances are new and all eqipment are in ezxcellent working order.
Her statement about maid service is also not true as her unit had to get a thorough cleaning by the room attendant every day the she worked.
This guest and her partner a local jet skie operator made sure that they trashed the unit when they left, breaking most of the dishes, left the unit in a horrible state and broke even the garbage bin, yet this same guest did not show any discontent with her stay at the Angler or the unit. Instead she always smiled and she had a long chat with me about her current life style in the country she now resides in.

I was very surprised at the state she left the apartment in and am shocked at the untruth that she has posted in her review. Money is the root of all evil. It is difficult to believe that she wanted to stay for free and because she had to pay for her accommodation she got so upset that she had to write this terrible review to turn potential customers away.

May GOD guide her to be a better person.

“Great Value, Authentic Experience!!!”

Fantastic value for the money. You simply can't find anything like this in St. James. This was our first time anywhere in the Caribbean, and Chandra made the experience very authentic and memorable; she is a caring host and a great cook. The beach was breathtaking and felt very private, and a two-minute walk from Angler's. Help with the transportation from/to the airport was much appreciated.
Highly recommend for a value traveler.

oh my god. this place, first of all the surroundings was nice, with lovely trees and fruit trees. the rooms are horrible..smelly,moldy,the sheets are fuzzy,the towels are worst, and they smell, her 2 dogs are crazy, they try to bite and she lets them come all on you and doesnt tie them or cage them, she has them in her office/house and its so unprofessional. i just found the time to comment, because i saw someone post tha it was the best, oh the appilances are old and should be in the barbados museum. the hot water sucks..i could go on and one....the best thing was the beach over the road..
