Crowsnest at Coral Cove
Description
Crowsnest is the corner penthouse at Coral Cove, a beachfront residence on Paynes Bay in St. James, and the corner is the point: the terrace wraps around two sides of the apartment, with Paynes Bay in front of it. Three bedrooms, six guests, and a beach attendant setting out the sunbeds below.
Three en-suite bedrooms sleep six. We’d suggest it for two couples or a family of four who want the beach outside the door and restaurants nearby, without the scale or the cost of a full villa. Among the villas in Barbados on our books, it’s the penthouse we’d put forward for a first stay on the west coast.
THE PENTHOUSE
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the living area onto the terrace, and the plan runs open from kitchen to lounge under high ceilings. There’s a breakfast bar, a cloak room, a wine fridge, a safe, satellite TV and Wi-Fi, with air-conditioning in the bedrooms and the living area and ceiling fans throughout. An elevator serves the floor. Parking is private and on site.
THE TERRACE
The wrap-around terrace is where the apartment earns its name. Dining is outside under the stars, the view runs the length of Paynes Bay, and the building also has a rooftop terrace. Covered sections keep the midday shade.
THE BEDROOMS
The master has a king bed, the sea view and a bathroom with a soaking tub and a rain shower you walk into. Bedroom Two takes twin beds or a king, Bedroom Three a king, both facing the garden, and both en suite.
THE BEACH
Coral Cove is a gated beachfront property with direct access to the sand and a shared garden. A beach attendant looks after the sunbeds, with beach chairs, towels and essentials provided. A beach bar and restaurants are close by along the bay.
THE SERVICE
A housekeeper who also cooks comes six days a week in every season, with a gardener, a security guard and the beach attendant in place year-round. A concierge manager and a property manager are on call seven days a week, and the complex has 24-hour security. Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out by noon; a late check-out can be bought for half a night’s rate.
THE LOCATION
Paynes Bay is on the calm Caribbean side of Barbados, in the parish of St. James, with Holetown and Sandy Lane a few minutes up the road. For the wider picture, including how the island sits apart from the rest of the chain, our guide Where Is Barbados? is the place to start.
