Glitter Bay Estate is a luxury Barbados beach resort set in 2 acres of gardens on the famous West Coast of Barbados. A curve of white stucco buildings in Spanish colonial style looks out over spacious gardens of lawns and palms down to a lovely strip of golden sand. There is a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments on the gated estate, each finished to a high standard (they have full kitchens, air-conditioning and cable TV), and each individually furnished and decorated. It is not a busy and active resort, but it has a nice sense of community and some good central facilities, particularly for children, including a central pool with a separate wading pool, a snack bar and tennis courts. Glitter Bay reaches back to the most romantic days of the Caribbean, when Sir Edward Cunard entertained the likes of Noel Coward here. Now it is a trusty, very comfortable hideaway close to all the activity of the Barbados West Coast.
Glitter Bay Estate has 46 private apartments in total. Ten are available for rent through management company Barbados Villa Services.

Meet & Greet
If you are booking direct, Barbados Villa Services will arrange for a driver with a signboard to meet you outside the arrivals area at the airport. They will then take you to the estate. On arrival, you will be met by a representative of Barbados Villa Services, who will show you around the apartment and ensure that you are settled in. Your arrival transfer to Glitter Bay Estate is included in your rental cost, so you will need to make arrangements for your return transfer with Barbados Villa Services. This can be done at the time of booking and then paid for locally. Alternatively, if you would prefer to be taken care of from the minute you arrive at the airport, with a range of services that can include limousine transfers, a Concierge Service is offered by St James Travel & Tours.
If you are travelling with a tour operator/wholesaler then you will be met at the airport by their representative, who will assist with your transfers which should also include your return trip. Airport transfers take approximately 45 minutes, sometimes longer depending on traffic. |

Getting Around
Although you are in a resort-style setting and Holetown is relatively close by, a hired car is strongly recommended for all private villa/apartment holidays. A car will be useful if you want to dine out at night or do lots of sightseeing, and particularly when it comes to shopping for groceries, unless you prefer to use taxis. Book car hire via your travel organiser or direct with Stoutes Car Rentals and ask for your vehicle to be delivered to the estate approximately 3 hours after your scheduled time of arrival on Barbados or the following morning. Vehicles can be returned at the airport or collected from the estate at a pre-arranged time on your departure day. |
