Upon our arrival, Marcia greeted us warmly. We then had dinner across the street at a local restaurant 'Chicken Rita's'. Great food and great people, very lively all week nights as it was during Christmas Holidays. It is not easy to explain where Coral Heaven is located when you are not from the area but everyone seems to know Chicken Rita's and this is how our shuttle for the Catamaran tour found us.
The appartment was super, just what we needed. No AC but deemed not required at that time of the year and there was a nice breeze allowing us to leave the windows wide open. The first morning, we got waken up very early by the rooster. We finaly decided to close the bedroom windows and used the ceiling and floor fans instead. WI-FI was working perfectly. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics you need to cook a good meal. Knives would need to be sharpened a little though or new ones maybe. We really liked making morning milkshakes in the blender provided.
During the day, we enjoyed walking around the quiet area in the streets surrounding Coral Heaven. We also walked to the Surfer's Point nearby and enjoyed watching the Kite surfers. Weather was great, the sea was warm. At the end of the afternoons, we enjoyed the roof garden at the appartment where we could overlook the wonderful view. The pools (a little bigger than a Jaccuzi) were great for cooling down and very clean. At night, we enjoyed having dinner on the appartment balcony!
During our stay, we walked a lot along the coast on the scenic route, we also used the local transportation (White Vans for 2 barbados dollar/person) to go to the beach, to Oistins, Bridgetown etc. Very cheap transport and you don't have to wait long to see one coming. For new year's eve, we had dinner at the beach bar which was a 15 minutes walking distance from the appartment and we really enjoyed our night. Everyone on the island is very friendly, that is nice.
We enjoyed our holiday and staying at Coral Heaven and recommend it. Thank you Pat and also Marcia for arranging taxi pick up from and to the airport.
