The Bar/Lounge at Sandy Lane

"There are four bars and four restaurants, including the super-fancy L'Acajou and, new for 2009, a casual beachfront restaurant and wine bar, Bajan Blue"

"The hotel provides personalized beachside services, such as reserved sun loungers, cold towels and colder tropical drinks, treats like sorbet and fresh fruit, periodic misting with Evian water…even sunglass cleaning! Water-sports activities include waterskiing, kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing, banana boat rides, and more"

"Decked out in signature pink, the 112-room Sandy Lane is the creme de la creme of Barbados -- indeed, it's one of the most luxurious resorts in the world -- known for unparalleled service and distinct touches"

"And when you arrive, make use of the hotel’s complimentary unpacking service (staff will pack for you on your way out as well) while you grab a bite or a drink at the four onsite restaurants or seven bars"

"At just 166 square miles, tiny Barbados is easily explored by car"

"Recreation is on an unprecedented scale, with an enormous free-form pool ringed by cushioned lounge chairs and soothed by the sound of crashing waterfalls and fountains"
