“Amazing surf vibe, fantastic people!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2011

Stayed with my boyfriend in March (a little late posting!) and like everyone else, loved this place and especially the people running it. Booked early for peak season so we were able to get the Driftwood Studio which we found out was Zed's original home on the property and that only added to the charm of the spot. Thought it was pretty funny to have a cable box installed under the TV but no actual cable or channels and had a good laugh about it when we went to ask Zed about it... decided that spending the night with him and the rest of the staff and their friends over some Banks was much more fun than TV anyways, so I'm actually glad. They do have a DVD selection and player for people that want them, but he had lent the whole box of movies to one of the other suites so just ask about it if you want a movie or anything.

The Driftwood Studio is particularly amazing for the patio area outdoors. We spent the majority of every day out there, going in between lounging around on the patio, to the beach, to the surf, and of course to the kitchen to make up some more rum punch or grab a beer - perfect spot. We didn't have much luck with the Wifi inside the suite but could sometimes get it out on the patio and it was good near the office if you just sat out on one of the many picnic tables. Bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We did notice a funny smell on a few occasions and the only thing we could manage to link it to was if the shower area was wet, but I really have no idea what the small was and we seemed to fix this by showering outside with the awesome ocean view and who wouldn't prefer that anyways!

There is a bus that stops/picks up not too far, but make sure you know where to get off and on since ours ended up making a wrong turn and we had to walk for about 30 minutes with our supply of beer for our stay which can be HOT in Barbados weather! Oistens is pretty close to get some groceries and things from there and with all of the friendly people around the property, you might luck out like we did and be able to catch a ride into town. Also, the airport taxi that they use is totally reliable and friendly - I think it was $30 (Barbados dollars) to get to the airport and a pretty quick ride.

Make sure you spend some time getting to know Zed and the rest of his friends and staff - they are all amazing!

Room Tip: Book early for the Driftwood!

“Heaven on Earth - Good Karma - Super”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2011

Surfer's Point is one of the best places in the world. Stayed there with surf buddies in January. Perfect waves, amazing view, great people, safe and clean.
I loved the chilled atmosphere, the owner's Zed & Claudia are always taking care of everything, boards, rental cars, BBQ. Zed and his surf teacher colleague Junior supported us with their caribbian surfknowlegde. Maurizio, called 'Dottore', who has always a band-aid, eyedrops and disinfectant in his pocket is around every day from 9 -17h.
Thank you all! God bless you!
I miss the place every day and counting the days until my next stay, still 7 months to go;-(

“So much more than just a place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011

This was our first trip to Barbados and a first attempt at surfing too. The location is fantastic and hospitality of Zed, Claudia and Maurizio warm and friendly.
I was extremely apprehensive about surfing but thanks to Junior, Mike and Bodi I met initial success at it quite naturally.
All in all one of the the most wonderful holidays we have been to so far.
Would love to be back...

Special thanks to Junior - he is a great surf instructor with outstanding attention to detail - I bet he can get any one to surf !

“Vacations just don't get any better than a stay at Surfer's Point!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2011

Surfer's Point has everything that you need for a fun and relaxing vacation! Zed and Claudia Layson are the perfect hosts at this gem by the sea. Along with their staff, they make your stay at Surfer's Point a memorable experience. Whether arranging dinner reservations or helping your child to find the perfect wave, Zed and Claudia make sure that your stay is relaxing and fun. The apartment we rented had beautiful views, comfortable beds, a full kitchen, fabulous porches-all just steps from the surf. There is a collection of surf and paddle boards for novice to experienced boarders. The surf at Surfer's Point entertained us during the day and serenaded us to sleep each evening. The "vibe" at Surfer's Point is friendly, casual, and welcoming. The Good to Go Cafe' was a nice way to start the day or to top off a surf session with a sandwich and a cold beer. Mike is an engaging "chef" and surfer. We plan to return to Surfer's Point in the very near future!

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2011

Everything is really covered nicely, very casual spot, if the wind is down the waves are great right out front, great food served with smile by Mike and Ekeda.
