Approximately 5-7 minutes away are popular restaurants such as the Lonestar and Mullins Beach Bar, prestigious golf courses at Royal Westmoreland, Apes Hill, and Sandy Lane, and duty-free shopping at Limegrove Lifestyle Centre. Lantana also sits between the hubs of bustling Holetown and quaint Speightstown, offering guests a glimpse of Barbados’ diversity, vibrant history, and rich culture. Each unit at Lantana is privately owned and approximately half of the units are managed by boutique real estate agency, Island Villas. A Caribbean company with an extensive global network, Island Villas offers a wide range of services including property management, villa rentals, sales, and a premium concierge. At present, the company maintains four employees at Lantana - two housekeepers, a night watchman and a property manager. Accord- ing to Olivia Cossey, Island Villas’ Sales & Marketing Manager, the company is also planning to expand its presence with a concierge representative on site two days a week. “As the demand for Lantana LANTANA RESORT – BARBADOS/ ISLAND VILLAS has increased we want to ensure that all of our guests’ needs our met and that whether you are visiting Barbados for the first time or returning, we have someone there to discuss activities, tours, and to help you plan your perfect vacation.” Cossey also explains the unique appeal of Lantana and cred- its the resort’s affordability as a primary reason for its popularity. “Barbados is a premium travel destination and the West Coast in particular attracts international celebrities, annually. As a result, the island’s most expensive hotels and accommodation options tend to be located along this Coast and are notably higher priced than other parts of the island. Lantana represents an affordable option for most trav- elers while still offering amazing amenities and a luxury experience. Another highlight is the apartment concept providing guests with a full kitchen and other conveniences not available at the standard hotel.”
