Barbados is a nice island. You have the busy south coast full of
restaurants, bars, shopping and stuff like that. West coast is more quiet,
but still has some things to offer too. The busiest place on west is around
sunset crest area. It is a very very nice place.
Almond Beach Village is among the largest resort in Barbados. Located near
Speightstown, far up north on the west coast. I have been inside Almond some
few times, but it is a long long time ago. So my impressions about the hotel
itself is no longer relevant. But if I should go, I would consider the
location of the hotel as too far away from everything. I like to have
things nearby. I like to have many restaruants, bars and so on close to
where I live. And Almond Beach Village is _for me_ not the ritht place to
go. But you may have different criterias than me.
If I should come with a suggestion, I would consider Accra Beach,
Bouganvillea or Casuarina.
Accra Beach is a very nice, almost new hotel. Located very very good, right
on Accra Beach. Probably the most popular beach on the island. The hotel is
very nice, and have a beautiful pool area too. And you are very very close
to everything.
Be aware that there is sea view, and land view. Those that has not sea view
may be disturbed by traffic noise. But if you go for sea view, you will not
have problems with that.
Casuarina and Bouganvilla is also very nice and good hotels. Casuarina is
located in St.Lawrence Gap, a popular place to go at night. Even if it is in
the gap, it is not disturbed by noise from outdoor music, like many other
hotels around that area.
Bouganvillea is located near the gap. You can walk two minutes on the beach
and go trough Casuarina, and you are ritght in the gap. But dont walk the
beach at night. Then you have better take a taxi.
Bouganvillea is also a pretty new hotel. I guess it opened 3-4 years ago.
Beautiful!
I am not that good on All inclusive hotels. But Turtle Beach, next to
Casuarina, is a very very nice place. But very expensive!
And I think Amaryllis Beach Resort also offer all inclusive packages.
