Round Rock

Barbados


Close to the surf shops and the kitesurf launch point, the rooms here are not particularly atmospheric or stylish, but those at the back, overlooking the sea, catch a fresh breeze and are very appealing. The spacious deck is a good place from which to watch the action on the water below. The convenient on-site restaurant serves decent meals.
