Similar in many ways to its sister property, Almond Beach Club, the Village caters to both families and couples. You can still enjoy a romantic vacation while traveling with your family thanks to the children's program here, where the little ones will enjoy supervised fun while the two of you play a round of nine-hole golf, enjoy watersports right on property, or just lounge around the long expanse of sand. The Village also has a romantic wedding site: a stone sugarmill. We watched a wedding during our stay here when vows were exchanged in the historic setting.

You'll feel the elegance and refinement of Barbados and Britain at Glitter Bay, constructed as the home of shipping magnate Sir Edward Cunard. The Mediterranean-style structure, with white stucco walls and Spanish clay roofs, is located on a half mile long beach. Glitter Bay's sister resort is the Royal Pavilion (see below), so guests enjoy reciprocal privileges and services of both resorts. You can also golf at the island's new golf course, the Royal Westmoreland.

This elegant property is designed for guests looking for the finest money can buy: from a grand entrance lined with the finest boutiques such as Cartier, to the 72 junior suites that overlook the sea. In your room, you'll be pampered as well with twice daily maid service, a private terrace or patio, and a decor that combines elegance and tropical splendor. Children aren't permitted at Royal Pavilion during high season. The sister property of this resort is Glitter Bay, and guests share facilities and services with that property. Guests also enjoy golf privileges at the Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed course, the Royal Westmoreland.

This 248-room all-inclusive resort is more than a hotel, it's a regular tourist attraction. Built in the 19th century, this castle was the property of the pirate Sam Hall Lord who, according to legend, lured passing ships onto the east coast rocks. Of course, no real castle would be complete without its resident ghost, and at Sam Lord's they say his truly still rests on his four-poster bed.

Hotel Features: beachfront, casual and fine dining, health club
