Tamarind Hotel

Barbados


Everything is discreet about this understated luxury resort, which has a hacienda motif, right on the beach at Paynes Bay. The 100 units are decked out in a restful palette of beachy pastels. All have balconies or patios and views of either one of the three pools or the ocean. The lushly landscaped grounds boast many fountains.
