Excellent location on Paynes Bay Beach
It is very nice to be able to walk out the door and be only a few steps to the beach or watch the sunset from the balcony. The apartment is basic in its furnishings, but comfortable. William was helpful in looking after a couple of things and we enjoyed talking with him. The beach restaurant was convenient to have on site, providing various items for our use. Overall, it is not as fancy as other accommodations might be, but is reasonably priced.

Great time was had!
The apartment was clean, well maintained and in a fabulous location. Steps from the beach, close to restaurants and the owners were very helpful with all our questions. We would recommend this property.

When you stay in this apartment you are truly in Barbados next to the beach. You intermingle with the natives who are very kind and helpful especially William the owner who took care of our needs. Nice man. Great place. We would return.

A great place!
William and Madeline went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We checked in at supper time and William even drove us to a nearby restaurant and returned to pick us up afterwards. In the morning, the bar and grill on the beach behind the property provided a great place for some delicious food and drinks. We’d love to return and stay longer !

About the host

Hosted by Madaline Headley-Woodroffe

Host profile image
Hi my name is Madaline and I am married to William. We are the owners of the Tamarind Tree Apartment who also live on the premises. I grew up on the beautiful lush and rugged east coast of the island. I married to William and moved to this side of the island where we raised 2 beautiful daughters - Indra and Tyra. As this location is home to us we were always being praised for our location and hospitality when entertaining but only saw it as home until we decided to add the apartment.

William is a retired secondary school teacher of Mathematics and I worked Accounting, property management and in business development with a government agency. I currently operate The Gazebo Experience Bar and Grill and Trainline Adventure Tours. Our kids are now in university seeking to lead their own lives.

Why they chose this property

Our Apartment is well located along one of the more beautiful beaches on the West Coast of Barbados. We wanted to share our hospitality and our home with visitors to truly experience Barbadian culture in a village type setting similar to what we like to experience when we travel to other countries. Therefore we try to provide the comforts of home in an easy going holiday setting where locals are friendly and are always willing to assist you with anything if you need it. Females and the elderly are especially comfortable here and grateful for the helpfulness.

The location is safe and someone is always on the premises. Our apartment is a continuous evolving opportunity for us as we seek visitors ideas and needs, to update our plant into what you like as well as what we like. This fusion will hopefully be more pleasing to all as we continue.

What makes this property unique

The beachfront view and the sunsets form this location are spectacular.
