Mullins Bay 13, Coco

feb. 2017

My husband and our 5 adult children stayed at Coco for a week. It exceeded my expectations. The villa is clean and pretty and was perfect for our family. The two 20 year old boys stayed in the ground floor room, which is not as nice as the other 3 rooms, as it doesn't have a terrace, but they didn't mind. The master bedroom is on the third floor with a big beautiful bathroom and terrace. The other two bedrooms on the second floor with terraces. All with bathrooms.
The rental includes a housekeeper, Jenice, who is lovely and helpful and made life easy for us in general. She did our laundry and cleaned daily. The cook, Mina, was fabulous. Our best meals were at the villa. We usually had her cook breakfast and either lunch or dinner. Her chicken curry and flying fish were a hit with everyone.
Mullins Bay Resort is really just a walled in community with a gym and beach access. Not a typical "resort", although they do provide access to two nearby resorts, neither of which we visited. We shared a big pool with the 4 other villas in our cluster, but rarely saw anyone else there. Chairs and towels provided on the beach. The beach, which is public, has a great restaurant and any activities you might want (jet skis, paddle boards, glass bottom boat, etc.). I would highly recommend the villa and the area to anyone visiting Barbados, provided that you like the quieter part of the island (which we do). You can take the public bus (which is an adventure in and of itself) or a taxi anywhere you want to go. And if brave, rent a car and drive. Be sure to visit Huntes Gardens and the Wildlife Preserve (money feeding at 2 pm).

We had an amazing time. Coco was the perfect fit for our family. Mina is a great cook. Our favorite meals of the trip were ones that she cooked. Jenice took all the pressure of living with 7 messy people off of me.

I am really glad that we didn't get the house I originally inquired about. The villa was beautiful and perfectly equipped for our family. Being in the resort was great. The kids used the gym every day (not me!). And the closeness of the beach made it easy for the different groups in our family to go and meet up on different schedules.

Thank you and all of your wonderful staff!

Coco was perfect for us looking for good value option close to Mullins Beach. We only used 3 of the 4 bedrooms but all were a good size and we really enjoyed the outside terrace. Having the huge communal pool right on our doorstep was also a massive bonus. We have been to Barbados a number of times and love Mullins Beach so it was great to be only a few minutes walk away and also have use of the sun loungers where we spent most of our days!! Cook was great too!

I would definitely recommend Coco as a great rental option.
