Dreamy vacation
Posted Jan. 20, 2024 on HomeAwayPERFECT week in paradise with family. When we booked Larimar 6 months out, we expected it to be really nice. The experience absolutely exceeded our expectations. At arrival, we were welcomed by Ann and Chef Geoffrey with rum punches and mini sandwiches. The house is beyond beautiful. And spacious... more than enough beds and bathrooms for our group of 9. Everyone, adults and kids alike, was happy with their room. The walls are adorned with cool, hip art work, fun memorabilia, huge champagne bottles, beautiful framed mirrors and coral fans. The large lot, on the edge of the ocean is on the quiter side of the island, with 3 beautiful beaches in walking distance. The pool, gym, fun bar room and sitting areas everywhere were great. This property is truly one of a kind- we felt like VIP guests in someone's dream home. Also, Chef Geoffrey was sensational. He had delicious Bahan food on the table whenever we wanted and was happy to fulfill special requests. The bar was stocked with a great selection of beer, wines and champagne for us. We couldn't have asked for more accomodating hosts. They go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect in every way and respond quickly when contacted. They arranged several great restaurant dinners for us and an unforgettable sunset catamaran dinner cruise. We made so many EPIC memories here and can not wait to come back. Trust me... do not hesitate to book this property. You will not be disappointed.

An Unforgettable Birthday Retreat
Posted Oct. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayLarimar Villa was the backdrop to a birthday gathering that transcended all expectations. As I was joined by six friends and three delightful kids, each moment was accentuated by the elegance and luxury that is the hallmark of this stunning property. Ann’s attentiveness and care transformed my special day into an experience that will be cherished for years to come.
The property is a masterpiece. Nestled on a cliff, each window opens to breathtaking ocean views, a constant reminder of the island’s serene beauty. The rooms are spacious, offering privacy and luxury, while the communal spaces echo with laughter and shared memories.
Chef Geoffrey deserves a special mention. Every meal was a culinary journey through the island’s rich flavors, making dining at the villa one of the highlights of our stay. His skill turned our meals into events we looked forward to, a dance of flavors that we reminisced about long after the plates were cleared.
Though our stay was brief, the magic of Larimar Villa, amplified by Ann’s gracious hosting and Geoffrey’s culinary masterpieces, has left an indelible mark. We departed with eyes set on a return to this Barbadian gem.

Beautiful location and Sooo Much Potential
Posted May 13, 2023 on HomeAwayI read all the wonderful reviews before renting and had high expectations. We travel frequently and rent high end homes with staff and chefs.
Hosts - amazing, responsive, helpful!
Chef Geoff - the number one reason we loved this place. He planned the menu, did the shopping and delighted us 3 meals a day for our entire stay!
Pool - the pool is lovely and where we spent the majority of our time.
View - amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean. I will hold it in my mind for months to come.
House - Some rooms are outside of the main house with separate keys. The beds in all the rooms were comfortable. A few things took away from the experience and is the reason for 4 stars.
1. House is very cluttered. Knick knacks everywhere. The bar has a lot of empty and dusty bottles, random things (baskets hanging with stuffed animals in kitchen). Decluttering would enhance the experience. Laminated signs (take a shower before bed if u use tinted sunscreen) also detract.
2. Furniture doesn’t fit the house (style is more baroque and old fashioned). Cushions (inside and outside) are stained and/or torn, covered in blankets and randomly arranged. There is a big dining table in the middle of the living area with no chairs.
3. House was not as clean as expected. Windows on doors to outside were dirty. Cobwebs and dust throughout.
4. Hammocks - also a favorite spot.
The house has such potential if recommendations are considered.

What a pleasure to meet you Kim and the 5 ladies in your party. Pleased you enjoyed your stay at Larimar and chef Geoff. The villa caters to all, including children, hence some of the decor etc. The glass table in the foyer of the villa, is a centre piece, and not usually used as a dining table, but you would have been welcome to dine there if you wished by simply moving 6 of the 24 chairs from the other dining tables. We pride ourselves on presenting the villa in an immaculate condition, however there may be some spots of salt on the exterior windward windows at the villa, as we are right next to the ocean. We would love to have had the opportunity to address any of your concerns whilst you were here, as you know we are extremely attentive and proud of our product, something we demonstrated by attending the villa at 2 am to assist you when you locked yourself out. We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you next time.

Definitely Paradise
Posted Jul. 13, 2022 on HomeAwayThis was an amazing trip for my husband's 50th birthday with close friends. There were four couples and we each had our own privates quarters. The location of the villa is perfectly seated on a cliff in paradise. Chef Geoffrey was amazing! We were spoiled by his daily Bajan cuisine. Ann was so helpful and extremely responsive to every request. She made it happen, evenadding my husband's picture to the birthday menu at Champers! Thank you all so much! His birthday was perfect in paradise!

Great time in Paradise!
Posted Jan. 25, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a great time celebrating my husband’s 50th Birthday. Ann and Colin were great hosts. Ann was very helpful in the planning process, providing referrals for excursions and transportation. Chef Geoffrey prepared the most delicious breakfasts every morning and Stephanie was very friendly and helped us to keep the place clean throughout our stay.
We loved waking up to the beautiful and the Villa is just as pictured in the photos.
Overall as great time in Paradise:
