Zoe begins by describing the simple joy of travelling across the resort each morning. With green monkeys appearing from the bearded fig trees and views stretching toward both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, even the ride to breakfast becomes a moment to slow down and take in the landscape around you.
The article highlights the comfort and privacy of our villas, from the Courtyard Villas to the newly opened Hilltop Villas. Each has been designed to create space to relax, with sunlight filled interiors, private pools and thoughtful touches that include fresh eggs from our organic farm and homemade rum punch waiting on arrival. We are pleased that she also recognised the warmth of our hospitality team and the convenience of our WhatsApp concierge service, which makes planning each day both simple and personal.
Apes Hill: A sprawling sanctuary in the heart of Barbados
"The warm and super friendly hospitality team are nothing short of incredible"

Wellbeing features strongly in the review. Guests can begin the day with sunrise yoga beside the fairway or arrange personalised sessions beside their own pool. In villa treatments offer another layer of calm, while tennis, padel and a fully equipped gym provide balance for those who prefer an active retreat.
Golf receives particular praise. Zoe notes the playability and beauty of our Championship Course at 1,000 feet above sea level, as well as the relaxed spirit of Little Apes, our nine hole par three designed for beginners and families. Her first ever lesson at the Performance Centre showcases how welcoming our instructors are and how enjoyable learning the game can be here.
Sustainability is another key theme. During a guided tour, Zoe explored our 60 acres of organic farming, 17 acres of fruit trees and 40 beehives. She also discovered our native landscaping and water stewardship efforts, which are central to how we care for the land and protect the biodiversity of the hillside.
The feature also highlights our beach club in historic Speightstown. Guests enjoy complimentary transfers, comfortable loungers and access to the Breezy Days catamaran for snorkelling, kayaking and swimming with turtles. It is a calm and inviting way to experience the west coast.
Dining is noted as a favourite part of the stay. Breakfast at the 20th Hole is celebrated for its fresh fruit bowls and warm wraps, while dinners at The Noisy Cricket focus on vibrant Bajan flavours. In villa dining is another way for guests to enjoy the evening, with our chefs preparing meals to be shared under the stars.
We are pleased to see the article encourage visitors to explore the island as well, from Hunte’s Gardens to Harrison’s Cave and nearby Mullins Beach.
Cosmopolitan’s review reflects what we hope every guest feels when they stay with us. Apes Hill is a place shaped by nature, uplifted by wellbeing and grounded in a community spirit that makes every visit feel special.
