“Can't wait to go back!”
The hotel was just as in the pictures and I was not disapointed at all. What a wonderful place to stay, very convenient to the local stores, restaurants, banks, post office or prepare your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of storage for clothes in bedroom and bathroom. Safe in room was very convenient. The entire suite is very spacious and the balcony offers beautiful views at all times. We staid in 407. It was very quiet and peaceful. Took a tour of the island (hired a driver, arranged by front desk) and had lunch at Sand Dunes restaurant on the east coast. Very good local food. The entire tour took 6.5 hours but so well worth it to hire someone who can take you places and tell you about the history of it all. Also went to Plantation one evening, food was ok but the show was a lot of fun. Oistins on Friday night is a must do. Taking the small white vans is so easy and cheap ($1 US each way) and it's a fun experience. Walked the boardwalk, which is very nice. You need to walk a little ways to get to it, take a left at end of driveway and walk until you can access a beach from the street, walk that beach then the boardwalk is at the end of that beach. The beach behind hotel is small but not ever crowded, and neither is the pool area. We had the entire pool area to ourselves for several hours one day. The constant breeze really helps. We also saw sea turtles in the water just left of the hotel. Felt very safe in Barbados, can't wait to go back.
