Feb 17,2022Nothing has been easy for anyone, anywhere for the past 2 years. But probably what was most difficult was anything related to travel. My experience with Noreen Harrington at Exceptional Villa made my plans to celebrate a big birthday with all of my family not only totally stress free. She made the experience a pleasure. The only sad part about my experience is that I'll miss Noreen.

Feb 13,2022Sinead was very helpful. Any questions I had she responded quickly and arranged everything we requested. This is our 3rd time using Exceptional Villas and we will continue to use them every year for our family vacation.

Feb 09,2022Both Yvonne and Julie have been wonderful to deal with throughout our booking. We have had to rebook our trip to Barbados a couple of times due to Covid restrictions and they couldn’t have been more accommodating! We have just arrived and the villa has totally exceeded our expectations. We’re looking forward to our time on the island and visiting all the restaurants Julie has helped us with reserving! Thank you! Xxx

Feb 04,2022Exceptional is correct! The pre-arrival planning was excellent and so important to A perfect trip. On -Site team was the best I have ever experienced, both personable and professional at the same time. Of course the house, setting and beach is amazing but it’s the people that make it. Thank you everyone for a perfect 60th birthday!!

Jan 24,2022Great service from start to finish. The team we worked with was very helpful and responsive throughout the booking process. The only improvement I could suggest is perhaps being more prepared and transparent on how the pricing around meals works out (we were confused as to how our meals on site would be charged) - but other than that, they got us sorted out! Would definitely use again

Jan 22,2022Elaine and Sinead were an exceptional one-two punch! Elaine provided many Villa rental options to meet my requirements and flawlessly transition me to Sinead who did the heavy lifting on the week's Itinerary! Sinead was a pleasure to work with as we coordinating the week for my wife's birthday. She was professional and extremely responsive to planning the week. Sinead provided additional recommendations on activities, restaurants, and logistics for the week. She provided unbias recommendations and was very knowledgeable on Turks & Caicos.

Jan 17,2022I recently returned from Allamanda Villa in Jamaica which I booked with Exceptional Villas. When I booked it 8 months I found Exceptional Villas to be very responsive with my search parameters. When I was concerned doing this online, the owner Alex put me at ease. Concierge Noreen helped me do the rest of the planning. Noreen was very helpful and responsive with all the details. Villa Allamanda was as awesome as promised. I loved the house, the staff (especially Michael the Butler, Mrs. Kerr the chef, and Rohan the driver. I feel like they are family. The home accommodated all 11 of us nicely (adults and children). We had the best vacation! I definitely would use Exceptional Villas again! Highly recommend them.

Jan 11,2022Our experience working with Sinead at Exceptional Villas was, well, exceptional! She responded quickly every time, patiently answered all of our questions (no easy feat in the midst of a COVID surge), and arranged many services for our family. She always was kind and thoughtful in her responses and consistently tried to anticipate our needs. It was such a pleasure to work with her and we are very grateful for her time and energy.

Jan 02,2022Noreen with Exceptional Villas was fantastic throughout the process of picking the right villa for our trip through arranging everything perfectly for our stay. She was very patient with my very specific questions and request and helped make the trip something very special to remember. I would not hesitate to use Exceptional Villas again.

Dec 18,2021Last January after spending Christmas and New Year in lockdown we decided Christmas 2021 would be very different! We got in touch with a couple of travel agents to help us plan Christmas 2021 in Barbados. The minute I spoke with Yvonne from Exceptional Villas I knew we were in the right hands. She sourced us the villa and then introduced us to Julie Kirby from Exceptional Villas. I can only say that Julie is a Godsend. She has literally organised everything for us, no request from us was too big or too small for her. We are four days away from travelling to Barbados for Christmas 2021 and I can’t thank Julie, Yvonne and Exceptional Villas enough for making this happen.

Feb 21,2022We haven’t made it to the house yet so I can’t comment on that part (airline issue) but Julie, our contact at Exceptional Villas, could not possibly have been more helpful, more communicative or more on top of things. Professional and kind, Julie arranged every detail of our trip including car rental, airport transfers, menus, etc. We are thrilled to say we had an exceptional experience with Exceptional Villas. Thank you!
