My family and I recently stayed at allure and we had the best experience the rooms were throughly cleaned the views were amazing especially some of the staff we came across were very nice. The housekeeper we had Reanna Watson we would never forget her, she made our stay felt at home and comfortable how she interacted with us and always keep our rooms cleaned very mannerly and professional . We definitely will be looking forward to come again soon hopefully we will have back the same housekeeper for all our visits at allure. We will surely recommend her to any of our traveling friends and family .👍🏻😊

We have been coming to Barbados for 15 years and third time to Hemingway. Blue Sky has been good over the years. However, very disappointed that the owner of Hemingway hadn't the courtesy to tell us about the changes to the property which, if we had known about, would have resulted in us cancelling our booking. As a result of the changes there are now many villas that are superior and Hemingway is now significantly overpriced. When we complained the owner was dismissive and offered an insulting refund. Key changes are a new huge storm drain next to the house that now collects all the very dirty water from the neighbourhood. After heavy rain (which we all know is pretty often in Barbados) the drain disgorges stagnant water (that has been sitting in the drain and smelling dreadful because as the staff say it has been incorrectly built) and pollutes the beach. You are advised not to swim for days after it rains. We know there are storm drains along the coast but having one next to your villa means that the impact is much more significant. The yellow torrent looks and smells like sewage although we were told that it is not. The other main issue is that some very ugly sea defences have been built in front of the villa, including a ghastly wall and as a result there are now boulders and rocks instead of the lovely sandy beach. We were told just before we arrived that there had been work done and "eventually " the beach would return but the effect of all these rocks seems to result in the beach being eroded. This has been a problem at Mullins before but the new work makes it worse and makes the beach unusable as impossible to wade over the rocks unless you have shoes on. We also asked specifically whether there was any construction work going on and assured there was not .Unfortunately this was not true and we had construction work one side and spotlights pointing into our bedrooms. Unfortunately Hemingway says this neighbour is difficult and doesn't let them know what they are doing so always a risk of this. We have never bothered to write a review before but the failure of the owner to be transparent about significant changes to the villa to us as repeat guests and dismissive response to legitimate concerns has been very upsetting.

Huge shout out to the reservations, concierge and property management teams at Blue Sky Luxury. I've personally seen the effort and care that these team members have put into their work and the lovely villas I've visited. I would reccommend booking directly with Blue Sky Luxury for the full vacation experience, it promises to be top tier!!!!!

Updated: Blue Sky refunded us for the remainder of the rental, thank you for that! The music at Sea Shed should be noted in the listing of the villa. When they do live music nights it is actually very enjoyable. But the nonstop bass on other days/nights is not for everyone. We rented for 3 months on Mullins Beach in Barbados. We have been here for 2 weeks and have a huge problem. Next door there is a beach club that plays electronic music with pounding base starting in the morning til 10:30 every night - it is constant. Repeated requests to Blue Sky for help and they have done nothing to help/offered no solutions. We should have been warned up front that this is an issue. Since we were not, they should offer to find another accommodation for us. But they wont even call us back at this point.

Sweet Dreams Are made Of This Just a quick note to thank everyone for a truly unforgettable vacation filled with lots of life-is-good moments. We cannot say enough good things about the Blue Sky team, the two gorgeous properties we called home for the last two weeks, or the charming, friendly and attentive staff who took such good care of us. Any and all expectations for this trip were greatly exceeded and we cannot wait to return! Special thanks to Jodi for making the reservation at The Cliff, for Dan’s birthday, which was AMAZING! Take good care and best wishes until next time!
