Everything was amazing except for one thing. On day one, we arrived, unpacked, and headed out for groceries (not knowing it was a holiday). We were back within 30 minutes as a result and found a man in the apartment. He was standing on our sink cabinet and when we came in, he dove out the kitchen window. My husband hung onto his foot and confronted him. He said he had come for the drugs, which we knew nothing about, of course. We called the rental agency and the police. According to a long-term tenant, the apartment had also been burglarized a few weeks earlier.
BSL was great to offer to move us, but we chose this apartment for the private plunge pool and close proximity to the Gap. We also had lost several hours to the incident and did not want to lose more time packing back up and moving. So we chose not to leave. We asked to be compensated and never received a follow-up conversation (although they delivered a nice gift basket).
I hate that this experience marred our trip. The facility was perfect. The location was perfect. Barbados was perfect. We were just a bit traumatized by an intruder and a little disappointed to not have been comped a night or something…
