Sea Symphony Villa ★★★

"Recent stay at the Sea Symphony Villas in Checker Hall - St. Lucy, Barbados with family during the Holiday week. Location: The location of the Villa is in the far north west portion of Barbados in a remote area. A rental car is required. No Ubers came to this area. Some taxi's were even unfamiliar with the zone. There are other rentals/homes in the area here. Nothing is walkable except a very small convenient store. There is a path along a sea wall about 5 minutes to get to the Ocean, however, there is literally no beach and sand due to the waves so if you except to use this as a bathing beach it is not an option and not safe for children. The only area where there are small patches of sand are near poisonous bushes the locals told us. It is 1-hour to Bridgetown and the Airport; very far and not a convenient location at all. The nearest towns are Speightstown, Holetown, Mullins. The Villa: The Pros are the size of the Villa it has about 6 beds and 6 baths which for large groups of guests, comes in handy. The pool is very underwhelming - it was cleaned just one time during our stay of 7 nights and was very cloudy and filled with sand, also was very cool in temperature as it sits mainly in shade. There are ample lounges and seating around this area. The barbeque area is nice as it overlooks the ocean and great views, however, the barbeque grill is big enough to put about 6 burgers on and that is it - very small. It also ran out of propane after less than 1-hour of usage and was not checked or replaced during our stay. The overall villa is open-air and no A/C so it is very warm. The housekeeper comes every day and shuts the windows and shuts the A/C off in each room which is uncomfortable. Two rooms A/C units did not work for about 5/7 nights during the stay which was very uncomfortable. The Villa is in need of updating. The Kitchen upstairs refrigerator barely got cold, did not make ice half the time. There were ants throughout the Kitchen and pantry areas the entire week. The water is not drinkable and you must bring in your own bottled water, the water in the villa is yellow. The water in the toilets remained yellow during our entire stay and in the bathrooms as well. There are just not enough clean towels and by day 3 they stopped putting out clean beach towels. We found a linen closet with extras, however, the next day the housekeeper locked it on us. Half of the white bath towels we had been given had brown or yellow stains on them and we had to re-use them and/or they were wet from not being able to replace them. The WiFi was horrible and we lost connection for about 2.5 days of our stay but it was then corrected. On day 3 they offered us wifi hotspots to join but this could have been given on day 1 as it was a holiday it was inconvenient to not be able to use during this time. The Villa felt safe but it is residential area and I would make sure to use the locks. The Rooms: The room we stayed in the bath fixture"
