| We stayed at the Rio Santo (house and 1 bedroom apartment) for one week in November, 2009. This was in an excellent location, and the house was very clean. The supermarket was only 3 min walk away, which made it very convenient, as we were able to purchase any necessary groceries to prepare items in the kitchen. The beach is literally across the street, and there are plenty of restaurants & bars within walking distance. Night clubs were a short cab ride away. I would say this is the BEST location in Barbados, and we've stayed many places. Felt like we were home away from home.....had a phone line, internet access (wireless) and laundry facilties. All in great working condition. Anton was a pleasure to do business with, and we are already planning our next trip to the Rio Santo! Thanks Anton! |

| e stayed at Rio Santo the first eek in August and out stay was a pleasant one. It had everythig that we needed and it was in a quiet area, but yet close enough to quite a few amenities. All within walking distance was a restaurant, gas station, food store. Mr. Norris was more than accommodating with us, he was very friendly and waited for us to find the place. I would definetely recommend Rio Santo if you are looking for a home away from home. |

| We stayed in this property (the one-bedroom apartment) this summer. Everything about it was excellent. Convenient location, within walking distance of St. Lawrence Gap, Accra Beach, supermarkets, banks, and restaurants. The apartment was also very comfortable, spacious, clean, and in a safe location. All we can say is that we highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay with the conveniences of home while in Barbados. The owner is also extremely nice, helpful, and professional! |

| What can we say that hasn`t been said, beautiful house, clean, spacious. We stayed in 3BR/2BA at Rio Santo from March 1st - 15th, 2009 with a friend and our 3 kids. Quiet area off the main road, perfect for the kids. Within a short walking distance to banks, restaurants, bars, beach, etc. Neighbours extremely friendly. We loved watching the Green Monkeys play. Saw them twice. Our favorite place was the big covered veranda. We spent all our time there, we ate there, played cards, or just relaxed after a day at the beach. Mr. Norris was the perfect host, kind, understanding and eager to please. We are returning for sure next year and we highly recommend Rio Santo for the perfect vacation in Beautiful Barbados. |

| We found the Rio Santo apartment to be very comfortable and well situated relative to beaches, grocery shopping, banking and restaurants. Being from Canada I found it very convenient to walk ten minutes to the ScotiaBank and withdraw money (in Barbados dollars) using my ScotiaBank card just like I do in Canada. Rockley Beach (also called Accra Beach) is 5 to 10 minutes away. Roughly the same distance to Worthing Beach. Mr. Norris is very accommodating and installed a high speed internet conection in the room prior to our arrival. |

Rio Santo is the perfect 3 bdrm accommodation for a family looking for a self-catering vacation. We loved the large covered porch and the opportunity to be outside all the time- it became our dining and living room. The beach access was extremely convenient, and being tucked away off the main road made for a quiet environment to enjoy a tropical vacation.
The kitchen was well equipped, but the Master bedroom bed could use an upgrade.
The proximity to the St Lawrence Gap area and grocery stores makes a car an extravagance. |

| We were in town for our niece's wedding (3/24-3/29) and stayed in Barbados for 6 days and 5 nights. We wanted a nice, quiet, clean rental for our family. This vacation rental was ideal, very clean, roomy, close to shops and other amenities, not to mention just a short walk to the beach. We strongly recommend this vacation rental, for both value and the landlord's gracious hospitality. |

| I stayed for 2 weeks at Rio Santo and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. As a business person who travels extensively, I was looking to get away from hotels for awhile and Rio Santo proved to be the ideal solution. The villa is spacious, clean and the neighbourhood is outstanding with birds and flowering trees everywhere. The 3 bedroom apartment is ideal for families, and I would also strongly recommend it for any business person who is looking to set up temporary office space in Barbados. The owner is very accomodating and a pleasure to deal with. Exception value and highly recommended. |

| Home away from Home! Stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment in February. The apartment was very well located in a quiet street but still close to everything.It was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Great beach across the street and famous Accra beach is just 10 min walk away. Grocery/Gas Station/Restaurants all within a walking distance. Loved the bar Mojo`s just around the corner, good food, fabulous drinks and friendly people! We would definitely stay there again! |

Having just spent 2 wonderful weeks on this beautiful island staying in a lovely comfortable apartment, we had to leave feedback to express how pleased we were with the service we received from the owner, Mr Norris.
We stayed in the 1st floor apartment with a roof terrace, which gave amazing views across the immediate area. The steps are steep, you just need to be careful coming down.
The apartment as clean & had everything we needed. Mr Norris advised that if we needed help with anything, just give him a call. We access to a phone to make local calls and receive incoming international calls. Winston is a local taxi driver, details given to us by Mr Norris, is a real gem.
The "Gap" is in easy walking distance, the beach is just 3 minutes across the road, Accra beach is about a 10 min stroll. Mojos is our favourite bar for chilling with fab Rum Punch and cocktails and lovely food, all freshly prepared. The music didn't disturb us at all. Oistins was just a bus ride away and great evening out. Good Times Catamaran details in aprtment is excellent value for money and a fab day's sailing.
We will certainly be looking to stay at Rio Santo Apartments again and would recommend them if you want a relaxed and chilled holiday. These apartments in a quiet corner of Worthing are a real find, with monkeys strolling along the front wall and humming birds in the garden next door, we would like to keep this place a secret but hey, we like to share....

| Rio Santo is in a fabulous location. Around the corner from the grocery, less than 5mins drive from St. Lawrence Gap and beaches. It's also a 2min walk from a great little bar, Mojo's. Is a fantastic spot for either families or singles. We totally enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning soon! |
