""Beach ambassadors" pass by frequently with cool drinks and frozen "treats"

"Guest room decor is stylish and contemporary, the beach is scenic, and the three-tier lagoon-style pool complex is picturesque and inviting"

"Try to book one overlooking the beach for the best view"

"Off-site, guests can go horseback riding on the beach, tour a chocolate factory, explore historic plantation houses, learn about the crafting of Mount Gay Rum and enjoy special access to the Apes Hill Golf Club"

"A four-star, all-inclusive Barbados hotel on the island's west coast, offering contemporary design, a choice of pools, attentive service and rooms with patio doors that overlook the gardens or beach"

"Those whose tastes run toward more refinement would do better at Colony Club or, for a similar all-inclusive alternative, the slightly more expensive Turtle Beach"
