Top Hotels and Resorts Barbados

If you are headed to the Caribbean for the very first time, a great place to begin is with Barbados.

Here you will see the most beautiful Barbados beach resorts and Barbados hotels meant just for the most discriminating visitor. As soon as you are set to plan your vacation, here are a couple of hotels in Barbados we are sure you will enjoy.

The Crane Hotel

Elegant, timeless, breath-taking; all are words used to describe the Caribbean’s first resort hotel, The Crane Residential Resort. Located on the beautiful Crane Beach, the resort is the perfect blend of old-world sophistication and natural island charm. The modernity of the hotel coexists peacefully with the dramatic backdrop that nature has designed, creating a wonderful experience for travellers seeking a resort which has all the features of a contemporary hotel, while still retaining the feel of a secluded island hideaway. Indeed, the only thing perhaps more famous than the resort itself is the beach on which it is located. Declared by Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous as one of the top 10 beaches in the world and also copping the 23rd spot on CNN’s list of the world’s top 100 beaches; the Crane beach, renowned for its tranquillity and picturesque views, is a favourite of both locals and visitors. The petal soft sand and stunning aquamarine sea represents the Barbadian beach at its finest and the playful waves are perfect for water sports.

Widely appreciated as an executive hotel, in truth no one is left out at the Hilton Barbados. There is a variety of dining options from casual, to elegant, to beach fare for the whole family.  You can dine in the quiet indoors or eat outdoors in the sunlight and admire the unique large model lighthouse on the ground floor.

There are 350 rooms, 77 of which are executive rooms with access to the business lounge, all with views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea and breezy balconies.

Radisson Aquatica

Like an exquisite diamond carved from rough rock, the Radisson Aquatica sits along an outstretched pier in Carlisle Bay, Barbados. The resort shines brightly as a brand new holiday hallmark on this majestic island. Recently refurbished, the Radisson’s accommodation and surroundings have proven themselves to be a cut above the rest.

The hotel itself sits on a piece of paradise, cradled by white sands and crystal clear seas. Carlisle Bay is a quiet peninsula on what is otherwise a busy coast with direct access to the capital (5 minutes), shopping malls and complexes or pulsating nightlife, restaurants and bars (10 minutes). There is frequent bus service along the main road.

Guests are encouraged to get their feet wet on location with water sports closely located to The Radisson like sailing, snorkeling, paddle boarding or scuba diving, or to simply dip their toes into the on-site swimming pool.

Mango Bay Hotel and Beach Club

Holetown is the hub of St James parish, a couple of streets of treats paralleling the slim but sandy beach. Good restaurants and shopping are abundant, and you can also find casual eateries and bars. The new Lime Grove complex also houses an art gallery and spaces for occasional entertainment. It’s a great spot for couples.

Tucked away behind all this, right on the beach, is Mango Bay. This attractive, mid-range property crosses Caribbean chic with elements suggesting a small Spanish village. It’s all bejeweled with tropical landscaping around a free-form pool. Night-time brings out the splendor, when blazing torches light your approach past a grand fountain.

Its 76 guest rooms are unfussy and nicely appointed. All have furnished balconies or patios viewing either the garden or the sea.
