Everything that everyone is saying about this place is 100% true! I wont say everything that's been said already but I can attest to everything being as wonderful as all the reviews claim. One thing I will mention however is the extremely comfortable beds! I think this wasthe best sleep I've ever gotten while on vacation!

The great service started on booking - Jacqui was informative and helpful with all our questions prior to our arrival. She arranged for a taxi to meet us at airport and had given all the informaion we could need about Shades. On arrival... More

If I had written this review on day 1, I might have been inclined not to mark with "excellent" There was confusion with the baby's cot, and the local rooster needed its neck rung. That said as the holiday went on we became more impressed by the whole concept. As everyone has mentioned before Jacqui is key to this place.... More

Jacqui is so warm and welcoming and always on hand in person or on the phone to help with anything, give recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc. Short walk to the beautiful beach, with restaurants, sun loungers etc; you just need to be a bit careful crossing the...

The place is so relaxing and in a super location close to the beach and great restaurants. Jaqui's knowledge of the island is... More

My husband and I have just spent an idyllic week at Shades. I could not recommend it more highly. From the initial welcome to the moment of departure Shades gave us everything we could have wanted. Jaqui, the Manageress, is friendly and very helpful. She made us feel truly welcome. Our room (no 5) was private, clean, comfortable and had... More

We stayed at Shades for nine evenings and we wished that it could have be longer. All of the reviews are correct and Shades is a five star choice. We were in Apartment 5. The apartment is just the same as the pictures that you see on line. We would sit on our patio every morning and have breakfast. All... More

My husband and I were fortunate to find this lovely guesthouse. Jacqui, the manager, arranged for us to be picked up at the airport and she was there at "the shades" to greet us upon our arrival. She gave us a tour of the beautiful grounds and apartment 5, a one-bedroom, ground floor apartment. Everything was there for self-catering, including... More
