About this property
Tropical Gecko Studio - Only 80 meters from the Ocean!
We would like to inform all our future guests that, due to Covid-19, our Company follows all the new Government Cleaning Protocols. In addition to this for higher health security reasons we decided to leave all our apartments free for at least 48 hours between all stays and also to treat them 2 days before any arrival with our new Ozone Generator which is 99% proven to inactivate any eventual kind of bacteria and viruses. Sweet Jewel Apartments is located in Silver Sands area in the South of the island of Barbados and they are in total 4 different apartments for dimensions, furniture, expositions and prices.
All of them have dining / living / kitchen area fully furnished, bedroom, private bathrooms and covered patio. The apartments are surrounded by a wonderful garden rich of palm trees, vegetation and flowers, with fence, walls and monitored by security cameras. Next the property there is a big parking area (free of charge).
Sweet Jewel Apartments are located next to the stunning Silver Sands Beach at the southern tip of the beautiful tropical island of Barbados. Being the easternmost of the windward Caribbean islands, the tropical heat is always tempered by the constant gentle north-easterly Trade Winds, cutting down on mosquitoes and making Silver Sands one of the best spots in the world for windsurfing, surfing and kite surfing.
Sweet Jewel Apartments provide a unique combination of fun and relaxation: suffused by the immediate beauty, peace and tranquillity of a palm-fringed surfer’s paradise; yet close to the buzz and excitement of great clubs and restaurants at nearby St Lawrence Gap.
The Tropical Gecko Studio took the name from a wonderful Tropical Gecko (the Tokay Gecko which comes from the Tropical East and Southeast Asia) who lives 10 meters far from the apartment. The living area has a double queen bed, sheets of high quality cotton, 2 bedside tables with lamps, wardrobe, safe, a kitchenette with all the necessary: 4 gas burner stove with oven, refrigerator, freezer, sink, cabinets with Italian coffee machine, american coffee maker , toaster, cutlery, dishes, glasses, pots, etc; a small lobby brings you to the bathroom which has sink, toilet and a large shower. At the the entrance of the Apartment there is a wonderful large and covered patio with table, chairs, sofa, hammock and garden with lawn on two sides around. There are also 110 volt sockets (American system) and 220 volt sockets (European system). The studio has a parking place just next the property. In the garden there is an outdoor shower and a very well mantained garden with lawn, Coconut Palm trees, Royal Palm trees and flowers.

Beautiful!!
Loved our time here.! The studio apartment was absolutely spotless and our yard was so peaceful and private. The apartment was well stocked with all we needed and Stefano and Elisabetta we available for any questions or needs we had. They made us feel welcome and we left feeling we had new friends. Natasha also made us feel welcome and at home whenever she came with fresh linens etc. and she too is now a special friend. The near beaches were amazing for the surfing crowd and Miami Beach was only a 3 km walk away. A rental car is great at this location. It gets you easily to all the restaurants and action you might want and let’s you come home to your quiet, beautiful patio for a glass of wine as you listen to the songs of the tree frogs. The little pub, a 5 minute walk away, is wonderful! We met many great folks there. We do not hesitate to recommend this location for your Barbados vacation!!

Tropical Gecko Paradise
This was our first stay at Tropical Gecko and second visit to the island.
From first contact with Stefano to arrange our stay to our departure he and Elizabet were fantastic hosts and very interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible.
The studio was clean and comfortable and everything we needed. We even got a change of towels and bedding which was a complete surprise and not expected.
We would not hesitate to return or tell friends about this place. It was perfect for us.
Thank you S and E for our enjoyable stay.
Cheers and salute.
