Lovely place to stay, staff are very friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and spacious, the shower needs some urgent attention thou. All the meals we had were very good, the bar was lively and fun with Shane running the show. The rum tasting is a great hour spent at the bar with Michelle, informative and great fun.

Just experienced the best rum tasting event with Michelle at Soco. We have laughed and gained some knowledge about the rums from Barbados. A great event for the guests to get together. I’m looking forward to next weeks event, I’m off for a nap now.

Excellent rum tasting by Michelle. Was a great time and the rum was delicious. A fun time had by all fro England US and Canada. The bad boy was the best. Michell was great host and kept everyone entertained and enjoying the rum and cakes. Wondering when we can do it again.
