Melanie understood my requests and provided me with a perfect fit, for what I had requested. It all flowed smoothly, and she was available to contact when I requested some extras.
Melanie, sorry this is so late. You are wonderful at what you do. I totally recommend you!

I'd like to thank Melanie a lot for her constant support before and during our vacation. I started an Email exchange with Melanie several months before my arrival to Barbados. She was very friendly and helpful and provided us with car booking and surf lessons. We had three surf lessons (3 days in a row) with instructors (Bruce and Paul) and then we rented surf boards. Melanie gave us boards and racks to fix boards on the top of the car. Melanie was always available on the phone and advised us the spots to go that day - it was what we expected because "you have to know Barbados to understand where good waves are. The forecast will not tell you much"
I definitely recommend Melanie if you are planning a trip to the island no matter where you are from.
Enjoy Barbados and have a safe trip!

Melanie helped me plan my surf trip with one of my buddies from New York who is extremely hard to please. The condo we rented was much more beautiful on arrival than what we saw online(when does that happen). Melanie also took care of our car rental and was super helpful with surf spots, dinner recommendations, etc. I am stoked recommend Barbados Surf Trips and will be booking future trips through Melanie!

Melanie helped us find a great home for the duration of our stay. She gave us a guide with restaurant suggestions and activities that was spot on! We loved everything she recommended. She also went out of her way to update us daily on where to surf! We absolutely loved the island and will definitely come back to Bathsheba soon!

I rarely write reviews. If somethings average, why bother? There are plenty of people who want to take your money, Melanie was special, she worked hard to make sure my surf session was perfect. She let me know in advance what I would be rideing and was even kind enough to snap a few pictures (new screen saver @ work!). We even surfed 2 different spots! And I really don't think I could have found either of them on my own.
