Guest Services

 

Ronald Stoute & Sons offers a wide range of guest services designed to ensure that you have as wonderful, relaxed and stress free a holiday as possible.  From arranging transfers to and from the airport to pre-stocking your villa we can do it all! Put yourselves in our hands to take care of all of those little details that make your holiday perfect but can be time consuming for you to arrange.  Our wide range of guest services includes:

Airport Transfers

To get you off to the perfect start - let us prearrange your transfer from the airport to your holiday home.  We usually suggest that if you are first time visitors to Barbados, or to one of our villas, that a pre-arranged taxi at the airport relieves the stress of finding your own way to your accommodation.  If you are planning to rent a vehicle while you are on the island, this could be delivered to the villa the day of your arrival, or at your convenience.

Pre-stocking

Why arrive to an empty fridge?  We can send you a grocery list ahead of time for you to make your selections in order to pre-stock your villa with the initial grocery items necessary to get you through your first 24 hours without having to rush off to the grocery store.  A small delivery fee will be added to the charge for these initial groceries.

Cook

If you would like to sample our Bajan cuisine, pre-book a cook and then what could be better than arriving to a lovely meal specially prepared for you?  Just select one of the sample menus at the bottom of our grocery list, let us know the number of guests our cook will be preparing dinner for and we will add those items necessary to your initial list so that one more step to the most wonderful holiday is taken care of for you.  

Car Rentals

Our sister company, Stoutes Car Rentals, is one of the largest and most reputable car rental agencies on the island.  If you want to explore our island on your own, we can arrange to have a vehicle delivered to your villa. If for some reason Stoutes does not have the vehicle that you require, we also work with a number of other dependable car rental companies to guarantee a wide range of high standard vehicles at competitive prices. 

Dining Reservations

We are happy to make reservations for you at any restaurant of your choice.  Barbados has lots of great restaurants from the very casual beachfront café to five-star fine dining restaurants. When making your inquiry please specify what type of restaurant you wish to visit and/or the name of the restaurant.

Spa Services

Barbados has a number of great spas for which we can book your appointments.  Alternatively, you may have a qualified massage therapist come directly to your villa. Whatever your choice we can make all of the necessary arrangements.  This is the best way to get into the island “groove” – relax and unwind.  Being on holiday doesn’t mean that you have to suspend your exercise routine. We can recommend several gyms where you can obtain short-term membership or arrange for you to continue your fitness program with a personal trainer or a yoga or Pilates instructor.

Sports

Barbados has a wide range of seasonal sporting events and tournaments. If you wish to attend a particular event please make an inquiry we will inform you of its availability.

Special Events & Weddings

Would like to surprise that special someone with a beautiful bouquet of flowers or champagne? Whatever your request, we’ll try to fulfill and deliver right to the villa. While many of our villas are not available as wedding venues, we do have a couple that will facilitate small weddings once the villa is being rented for a week or more.  We can direct you to a wedding planner, who will make your dreams a reality from the simplest to most elaborate event.

Childcare

Sometimes parents with small children want to take full advantage of their holiday by arranging babysitting services with experienced babysitters.  We can also organize rental of baby equipment to ensure your child’s comfort and safety as the villas do not include baby equipment in the normal rental.
