Lone Star Hotel

Barbados


Built right on the sands, this new low-rise boutique hotel has supremely comfortable rooms with stained wooden floors, vaulted ceilings and full-length sliding glass doors that afford tremendous sea views. It doesn't have the spacious grounds, and hence the privacy, that some of the nearby resorts offer but on the plus side you'll hear the waves from bed.

The attached high-end restaurant (mains B$70 to B$130) has a good selection of plates and is popular among well-heeled locals.
