This superb family resort, spread out over 32 acres, has attractive, landscaped gardens and a proper village atmosphere to it, courtesy of the excellent facilities. It’s fantastically child-friendly with all kinds of daily activities for 4-15 years, from Calypso dancing classes to pool activities (there’s also a FREE nursery for babies and toddlers from newborn-4 years), but the resort realises that parents or couples need a little time on their own too, and offers a child-free (no under 16s) section of the resort, including 3 interconnecting pools and an Italian gourmet adults-only restaurant. While the kids have fun in their club – you can have fun trying out the huge range of FREE activities in the excellent all-inclusive package. There’s a 9-hole, par-3 pitch ‘n’ putt golf course and water sports generously include water-skiing. On land, there’s floodlit tennis and a fitness centre for a calorie-burning workout. Dining choices include Italian, Bajan, seafood and continental. 3 weekly floor shows, daily entertainment and a nightly disco keep everybody in high spirits the whole night through.
