| SERVICES |
| What to expect: Popular with business travelers because of its proximity to Bridgetown, the hotel also appeals to adult leisure travelers desiring a tranquil beachside holiday with ready access to downtown duty-free shopping. While the hotel is located on the south coast's main street, its U-shape design, graced by a four-story waterfall, assures quiet. Locals favor the hotel for special occasions and meetings. Amenity highlights: Two pools lie between the main building and a 75-yard Caribbean Sea beach 125 yards away. One runs 45 yards in two channels through a narrow garden courtyard--graced by a four-story waterfall--leading to the beach. A good-size beachfront pool features a swim-up bar, with lounges and umbrellas on an adjacent two-level sunning area. Offshore reefs ensure calm-water swimming off the beach, which is partly shaded by tropical almond trees. Insider tip: Locals and visitors alike gather Friday nights for music, dancing, beer, rum, and food such as grilled fish and barbecued chicken in an open-air "fish fry" adjacent to the daytime fish market at Oistins, three miles away. |
