Historic Hotels in St. James from $105

"Upon arrival, we were left a little unsure about our choice - but after settling in, we knew right away this was the right place for us. The room was very simple - but we weren't here for the room . . . we were here for the beach and all the other amenities this property had to offer - and it delivered fantastically! We made many great friends of the staff - and cannot wait to return again someday soon. "

"Nice updated property with everything you need. Complex is very good and staff excellent. Hairline beach pass was a bonus."

"What a beautiful location. We had a really nice, large, beachfront room, with nice large bathroom. Room us as advertised and we did lay out on the balcony in the sun as the waves rolled in. The beach is wonderful. Crystal clear warm water that has a nice shallow part, sandy beach that was easy to walk on. I loved that getting a beach chair and umbrella were always easy no matter the time of day. The staff were all so friendly! Tge grounds were so well maintained! We started each day with the nice fresh breakfast, which was included, and were always given a nice table overlooking the water. Picture perfect! "

"I don’t know where to start with this property. It is absolutely beautiful, I actually don’t think the pictures do it justice. It immediately felt like home, it had everything we could possibly need. Communication from Michael and Jules was wonderful, they were very attentive and made sure that they were able to meet our individual needs. We travelled with a 8 month old and they ensured that we had a suitable cot for her. In addition, we were unaware that it was a bank holiday the day after we arrived, which meant we’d be unable to buy food from the supermarket, so the hosts arranged for essential food items to be waiting for us on arrival. I can’t begin to express how grateful we were for this. Both the house manager and housekeepers were just as lovely and attentive, everyone we came into contact with with regards to this booking was absolutely wonderful. The location of the villa is so close to bars, restaurants and shops and was just perfect for us. We would absolutely stay here again and I’m just sad our trip wasn’t longer."

"This is not our first time in this property or in Barbados. The island is always welcoming. The property is actually better this time around. The staff is amazing. We will be back."

"Everything was beautiful! Guest service was on point... "

"Since this is the last month of operation for the hotel before it closes for a year long renovation project we were blessed with a lot of peace and quiet. The staff, despite their pending furlough, was attentive and caring. Looking forward to the reopening in 2025. It’s a great beach location "

"Lovely location right on the beach "

"My daughter and I had a great stay in the Zinnia apartment. It was fresh and clean and a great location on the west coast. The air con worked well, the showers were hot and the facilities spot on for our 1 week stay. We did a food shop at Maceys in Holetown which is a big supermarket and has everything you need. We hired a car which I would highly recommend as it allowed us to see the whole island and avoided the $70USD fare from the airport. We hired our car with Driveamatic and they were great. Short queue at the airport collection desk whilst others had 20+ people. I met a lady in our queue who uses them a couple of times a year. Its not absolutely necessary to hire a car as the apartment has bus services outside but we loved the independence it gave us. Bar across the road in the beach club is spot on for sunset cocktails so worth doing. We visited lots of restaurants including Tides, Zaccios, Lonesome Star and Fish Pot which were fabulous but expensive and you need to book well in advance in high season. We booked when we arrived as a bit quieter in April/ May. We also visited lots of beach clubs but note you do need to bring a towel - Seashed, Thunderbay with lunch @Somones, Calma (amazing snorkelling beside the shore where we seen turtles, turpen fish) and Harbour lights at carlisle Bay. Jean our housekeeper was very sweet and popped in mid week to check if we needed anything. We loved our stay at Zinnia and would definitely recommend to friends or revisit."
