Hotel Information: This compact resort is set into a hillside amid gardens and waterfalls. Orchids bloom in the open-air, marble-floor lobby; a two-story coral-stone atrium is adjacent.

Insider tip: The open-air Friday-night Fish Fry at Oistins attracts hordes of locals and visitors for music, dancing, beer, rum, and food such as grilled fish and barbecued chicken from open-air food shacks. Oistins, a colorful Barbados fishing town, is 1.5 km (1 mi) from the resort.
