Almond Beach Club
Hotel Information: This adults-only Barbados resort caters to singles and couples 16 and older. The compact, 2-hectare (five-acre) resort supplies tranquil daylight sunbathing amid a lush landscape of palm trees and tropical flowers, and lively after-dark entertainment and socializing; open-air shopping is nearby at a West Indian-style shopping village.
Amenity highlights: A courtyard with tall tropical plantings contains a large, two-level pool divided by a waterfall, an eight-person cool-water spa tub flowing into another pool, and a sunning lawn furnished with lounge chairs. In all, three freshwater pools are available for guests. The Caribbean Sea washes up to coral-rock formations along the resort's 91-meter (100-yard) water frontage. Above the rocks is a sand terrace furnished with lounge chairs—shaded by trees in mornings, but sunny in afternoons.
Insider tip: A visitor-oriented shopping mall is just across the street, with a West Indian-style open-air shopping village 365 meters (400 yards) away and another shopping mall 91 meters (100 yards) beyond that.
The majority of amenities, activities, and gratuities at this resort are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for the majority of amenities and activities (scroll up to the All-Inclusive Details section for more information).
Almond Beach Club & Spa All Inclusive offers 161 guestrooms in seven three- and four-story multicolored buildings (no elevators) that form a U-shape around a central pool-and-garden courtyard. Decor features cool tropical colors and tile floors. Ceiling fans and louvered panels or windows provide a cooling alternative to room air-conditioning.
