I would like to begin with the fact that this 5 star rating is due to the fact that this was exactly what we wanted and needed for our 25th anniversary.
We had a room with a beach view right near the garden pool where only 3 rooms actually face. It was peaceful and perfect. The room was spacious and super comfortable but I could see us taking any room and being fine as there are only 10 rooms in the building. The maximum amount of people at the pool was 3 couples.
The proximity to Miami Beach was incredible and it was almost like having your semi - private white sand beach to yourself. If you wanted, they would bring chairs, but we never used this service as we were way to random. There are also shuttles that go three times a week to various beaches which we took advantage of one day. The driver was amazing.
The staff is outstanding. Every recommendation, every conversation made the trip memorable and the two of us enjoyed the friendly banter as well as knowledgeable recommendations. It didn't matter who was at the front, it was the same all of the time.
The resaurant was delicious; it is a little on the expensive side, but the staff was great about recommending other options. It is a 5-10 minute walk into town where there are fruit stands, a grocery story and plenty of places to eat especially if you like fish.
It was our first trip to Barbados and will most definitely not be our last. This was a random selection for us and we were not at all disappointed.
