Our first impression when entering Freshwater Bay was not a great one with the very large Light and Power plant (even though we knew it was there, it had a far greater presence than we anticipated.) However, once we were inside the Freshwater "compound," we found it to be very lovely. The beach was beautiful, as were the gardens. It was very relaxing. Our unit was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped.
From the very beginning, Lisa was welcoming and very helpful with information, answering all our questions very quickly. We found the neighbours to be very friendly and kind. The housekeeper, Nicky was very welcoming and enthusiastic as was Judy, the property manager. We bought fish (barracuda) just next door at the fish market.
Ours sons, 22 and 19, did find the location more remote than they had hoped for wanting more people around and "action" (bars and restaurants) closer to us. We did many different activities, as there is much to do in Barbados, and had a wonderful week!
