We have been to "Jus Chillin" 4 times now - last time in December - and love the setting. Beautiful bedrooms with balconies, a spacious living and eating area with a relaxing terrace. There is a gate leading to a large communal pool with sun loungers that never seems to get busy. It is just a 3 minute walk to the lovely Mullins Beach and Beach Bar with its privileged facilities - chair, umbrella and drinks service -for local members/residents and good food. The coast road alongside leads to Speightstown in one direction and Holetown in the other which have good places to eat. Overall a great place to stay, enjoy and to explore Barbados. We would thoroughly recommend it!
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful villa for our honeymoon. After hiring a car and travelling around 30 mins from the airport, we arrived fairly late in the evening to the relaxing sound of the whistling frogs and the fantastic sight of fireflies around the pool. We wasted no time in trying out the pool (even at 9pm in the evening it must have been around 25 degrees celsius) and although the pool was a shared pool, we found we were rarely joined by others and if we were, they were extremely friendly.
The house itself is beautifully furnished with modern appliances and most importantly, ice cold air conditioning which was well received after a warm day in the sun.
We aren't really used to the luxury of having a maid back in the UK but it was nice not to have to worry about any of the housework whilst we were there to 'Jus Chill' and we couldn't have asked for a better housekeeper, friendly and very efficient!
Opposite the villa is the highly recommended Mullins beach with complimentary sun beds and towels. Unfortunately we'd picked the wrong time of year to get married and didn't have the pleasure of trying out the restaurant as, like many other restaurants at this time of year it was closed for refurbishment. September is generally renowned for strange weather but I think at the very most from our 14 day stay, we probably saw 2 days of rain and as strange as it might sound, it was nice for us to experience a caribbean storm! We did find a nice little restaurant just a short walk up from the hotel, a colourfully painted hut next to beach called 'Ramshackle' with quite possibly, the most laid back owner we have ever met and the rum cocktails and flying fish were very tasty indeed!
Highlights of our trip included swimming with turtles in Holetown (which also has a very plush shopping centre and a great thai restaurant) only 15 mins down the road. We hadn't booked on a trip but swam next to a group that had been booked on one so there were plenty of turtles around!
We also visited the Mount Gay Rum distillery and tried out a few tipples whilst we were there. It's still my favourite rum almost 2 years on!
There was a small pottery factory on our travels where we purchased some great souvenirs (and I believe Jus Chillin' had their sign from) and not so far away from that factory was (from memory) a monkey / animal sanctuary with an old fort. Though the name escapes me.
I'm not usually a great traveller and was a little apprehensive about the flight from the UK but we couldn't have asked for a better time and wouldn't hesitate to get on a plane to get to this paradise again in the future!
I don't know where to start, I can honestly say I had a fantastic time at 'Just Chillin' in Mullins Bay. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome.
The villa is just perfect, it felt like home from home with all the comforts you would expect. The rooms were lovely and spacious, my room had a balcony which was perfect to sit out in the morning/evening. The ensuite bathroom was large, very clean and up to date with great shower. All the rooms have air condition for a comfortable nights sleep.
The groundfloor has a great lounge area and then a lovely big table outside that we used for meal time. The villas share a pool, which is secluded and always kept pristine. There are lots of beds to use and we only saw one other family at the pool while we were there, it was quiet and relaxing.
Mullins beach is a quick walk away (3 mins), and the beach and Mullins Bar are fantastic. Lovely beds, really tasty food and cocktails, with a picture perfect view of your idyllic Carribean beach. At times the beach can get busy but this is to be expected with such a great spot, plus we were out in the Easter holidays. The staff at the bar are very friendly and make you feel at home, its a perfect environment to relax and 'chill' out.
I highly recommend the villa and Mullins Beach, I had a lovely time and it was a holiday to remember.

Luxury accommodation which exceeded our expectations in every way. Excellent indoor and outdoor living areas, linked with close proximity to the swimming pool (bottom of the garden), beach, Mullins bar and other eateries, made our family stay exceptional and memorable. Jus Chillin is very well maintained and looked after by daily maid service providing laundry and cooking services - what more could you ask for to Just Chill Out!! Thoroughly recommend and hope to return in the not too distant future!

Jus Chillin has everything you need to enjoy your stay in Barbados, the villa is beautifully decorated, bedrooms are all lovely. The best part of the villa for me is the outside terrace, lovely to sit and enjoy your gin and tonic in an evening. It's a very short walk to the beautiful mullins beach and the beach bar, if you don't fancy the beach then the pool is just outside your private garden.
Overall it's a fantastic place to enjoy Barbados from, which is why we are booked for next year already.
