10 Top-Rated Villas in Caribbean
Lounging on smooth Caribbean sands can be more restorative than the most luxurious spa treatment. Stretches of white and black beaches spill into the coolest, bluest waters of your dreams. A Caribbean island is the perfect literal jumping off point for a snorkeling or dive excursion, and the sea life seems just as welcoming as the islanders themselves. Sipping a tropical a cocktail while the sun paints the sky in shades of tangerine, you’ll ask yourself: “Is this heaven?”

Feels Like Coming Home, Can't Wait to Get Back Again!
Reviewed By Mike3369My wife and I just returned from our second long vacation to Jost Van Dyke in three years and had a fantastic experience (again!) at White Bay Villas. While we have plenty of wonderful things to say about the stay itself, I want to focus first on the absolutely phenomenal customer service and care provided by everyone on the WBV team. For anyone thinking of traveling to JVD for the first time, White Bay Villas is the best decision you will ever make, and not just for the breathtaking accommodations and views. There are so many uncertainties and sometimes curveballs on a trip of this nature, and so peace of mind and confidence in the staff of your lodging of choice is of the utmost importance. I have never had a better customer service experience in my life than what we just enjoyed at WBV. Never. Long story short, we had a medical issue on our flight into St.Thomas, which in addition to the extreme anxiety of the event itself, snowballed into us missing our scheduled ferry that day, and then watching our COVID testing window for entry into BVI expire the following day. We had a ride scheduled with Erika, whom I contacted immediately once I realized our plans were crumbling, simply to let her know we weren’t going to make our ride with her and I was going to have to spend my afternoon figuring out options. The next thing I knew, Erika had mobilized an entire team of people at WBV – who over the course of that day and the next, sprung into action to coordinate a place for us to stay in St. Thomas; arrange for potential private transportation to JVD if we needed it; advise and communicate on what we needed to do to solve our COVID testing dilemma; and even provide personal transportation from the hospital to our temporary lodging, to the clinic for retesting, and to the ferry terminal once all our issues were resolved two days later. All of this in addition to arranging all our taxi transportation in Tortola and JVD. No questions asked. I was completely floored by the kindness and support we received. Kevin from the management team was a godsend – personally handling much of the above on his own time. He bent over backwards to help us in every way imaginable, and was an encyclopedic resource on travel requirements, logistics, transportation nuances, and pretty much anything we needed to deal with as a result of our incident. He was simply a model of ideal customer service – and literally handled everything for us so that we didn’t have additional stress. Maria and Lucy from the WBV office (and Erika as well) were constantly in communication and making sure that we were clear on all the rapidly changing arrangements. We were in very, very good hands, and it made a tremendous difference in our ability to bounce back from the rough start and still enjoy every moment of our time on vacation. I relay all of this because when you’re traveling to such a relatively remote destination with many complexities and uncertainties, confidence and trust in the folks you’ll be staying with is priceless. I couldn’t possibly recommend WBV and their team more in this regard. All that said, our stay in a Seaside Cottage this time around was unforgettable – as was the first stay two years back in a Paradise Villa. The breathtaking views from these villas (every single one of them really) are beyond description. They NEVER get old. JVD has got to be one of the most peaceful, calming places on the planet if you ask me – and White Bay Villas provides the perfect home base to enjoy a truly transformative vacation. The villas are clean and comfortable, and equipped with everything you need. The staff – most notably Michelle, perhaps the sweetest woman on earth – is there to help you with anything and everything you request, all with a smile. If something goes wrong, they fix it immediately. Maria and Michelle ask proactively almost every day if there is anything they can do for you. This is what makes a property stand out, and one of the reasons why we came back to WBV and certainly will again. One particularly impressive new aspect of the WBV experience since our last stay was the new Beach Club – the vision of John, the owner, and clearly a labor of love. Located on the secluded end of the White Bay beach at the foot of the properties, the club offers an outstanding new restaurant and bar, plentiful and complimentary beach loungers, towels, and other amenities, and stunning views from two separate covered outdoor seating areas. We spent day after day lounging in front of the club, most times with almost no one else around! The location is such that you’re pretty much guaranteed a peaceful, private beachside experience if that’s what you crave. With fabulous food and drink just steps away! As for the Beach Club restaurant, it is absolute must-do for lunch, dinner, and/or drinks! The chef, Ardenia, has created some delectable dishes. My wife had the pumpkin ravioli, which was out of this world! She couldn’t stop raving about it – and by the way, Lena, our wonderful server, went out of her way to pre-order the pumpkins in advance because my wife so wanted to try this dish while we were on property. It was superb. I had the grouper and miso soup…exquisite flavor and a clever combination! There were also some chicken and steak dinners that looked tantalizing (next time for sure.) The club also serves up some amazing pizzas (marguerita, salami, and others), prepared in a huge, state-of-the-art brick oven, and a creative assortment of specialty drinks along with beer and wine. The menu is constantly being expanded and you should be sure to try out the club as a dining option during your visit. All of this can be enjoyed either inside – where John is in the process of procuring and placing some whimsical and classic artwork – or at two separate outdoor dining areas with amazing views of the drop-dead gorgeous White Bay waters. Ambiance and camaraderie abound, as Lena is so friendly and fun to talk with, and John has some very interesting stories about how White Bay Villas came about and his vision for the property and the Beach Club moving forward. I could go on to do an entirely separate review of what a special and captivating place Jost Van Dyke is, and how wonderful and friendly the locals are. You will discover that soon enough! 1000% recommend White Bay Villas, and please pm me if you have any questions at all about the property, the Beach Club, or the island. You owe it to yourself to stay here…it’s an unforgettable experience, and we are already plotting our next visit. Kevin, John, Maria, Michelle, Lucy, Lena, Bruno, and Erika - thank you so much for your exceptional hospitality and another incredible JVD vacation. We will see you again very soon.

A really enjoyable stay
Reviewed By imank421Rita's Cottage at the Judy House had everything we needed as a couple sharing a double room. Although the room was basic there was a powerful overhead fan, mirror and fridge. The shared bathroom had hot water and was accessible. There was a well stocked shop with food and drinks. The overall surroundings of the various garden areas are really beautiful. Overall I'd recommended this place to anyone planning a stay in Negril.

Reviewed By 505arnaudcThe staff was welcoming. Wonderful pool and very private. Great balcony off our room. Wonderful breakfast made by the staff. Food was made to order and out of this world. The room was very clean with lots of space. The hotel is a very short drive to the beach, places to shop and places to go out to dinner. Paradise! Hope to go back this year.

Engagement Trip
Reviewed By magica286We stayed at the Master River Suite, it was amazing. Felt really welcomed, the staff is very friendly. My favorite part was the bathroom and the jacuzzi, they allowed and helped all the decorators to make my engagement a dream. We loved the nature around it and how peaceful it was. Just an observation food is expensive and not a lot of variety, but we managed. After that perfection.

Beautiful luxury villas and apartments with a Caribbean atmosphere. Nature, luxury and personal service go hand in hand at Morena Resort. The tropical villas and apartments (1-bedroom up to 4-bedrooms) have a new climate design and are refreshingly cool with a high quality finish. The interior is especially nice, made of durable and authentic Fair Trade materials. An absolute must is the Mazzai Spa which is located in the resort and provides numerous wellness treatments such as herbal massage, facial and hot stone therapy.
it's so good

What a Gem
Reviewed By TrailBlazer67270Villa Sur Mer is the place to go if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of 7 Mile Beach! It's located on the West End of Nagril on the Cliffs. Just a beautiful area that allows you to really experience the local life! The West End offers many great eating choices but if you need some beach time you can grab a 5 min cab ride to the beach! Villa Sur Mer is quaint, clean, quiet and perfect! The staff was the best! Starting with the front office, Carmen and Rene, Nika the bar maid and the rest of the staff (Mark, Marlin and Shem), even housekeeping! All of them always so helpful! Carmen and Rene set up transportation to and from the airport, day trips and Covid tests that we needed to get back to the states. Nika was there everyday at the pool bar and the guys always were there to keep an eye on the property and hale cabs for us! Always felt safe and secure! Planning to return again!
9. Little Good Harbour
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 359 reviews
A boutique hotel located on the West Coast of Barbados. These individual cottages give the impression of a villa holiday but with the conveniences and amenities of a 4* hotel. This family-run hotel offers personalised service and authentic Caribbean charm and decor. The Fish Pot Restaurant is a well-known restaurant on the island serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and is known for its seafood offerings.
This hotel spoils you for anywhere else
Reviewed By Andy MWe stayed for thirteen nights in one bedroom cottage B7 at the beginning of April and loved every moment. From our warm welcome by Andrew and Trevor to our last sunny afternoon by the pool we felt that our comfort and happiness was their priority. Little Good Harbour is an oasis of calm, beautiful lush plant life everywhere and it’s wonderful to know that what many reckon to be the best restaurant in Barbados is just across the road. We ate most evenings at the Fish Pot but at lunchtimes we enjoyed getting light meals together in our kitchen. You can get basic foodstuffs from the nearby Moontown store but we also found it worthwhile to make a trip to Massey’s supermarket in Holetown where you can find just about everything you want. Little Good Harbour’s northern location away from the busier main hotel area of the west coast is an asset rather than a problem. It’s a peaceful place and since Barbados is a small island you can easily get anywhere by bus (if you’re brave and don’t mind waiting) or by taxi. Our third stay at Little Good Harbour certainly won’t be our last, so finally - a warning: this hotel spoils you for anywhere else!

Our idea of Paradise
Reviewed By Nancy MThe family came here with heavy hearts to get away for the one year anniversary of my husband's passing . We found a piece of paradise . Property was clean, rooms were spacious and island appropriate furnishings. Walking distance to grocery, pools for volleyball and family time were right in the middle of the courtyards. We knew there was renovations in progress but NEVER saw or heard a noise. The staff was completely knowledgeable ands very customer service oriented. Never saw anyone without a smile on their faces. I had read the seaweed on the beach was bad but Marriott staff is up early clearing the beach to make guests unaware of the problem. This is Mother Nature in action and cannot be helped but as you view the volcano in the backdrop of this property you know clearly that you are experiencing a hidden gem that we will absolutely be returning to!!!
