Finding the ideal accommodation should be one of the first things to check off on every travel checklist. This is true when you are given the opportunity to visit exotic places like the beautiful island nation of Barbados. If you are a bit meticulous or visiting with your family or in a group, carefully planning your accommodation will make your travel experience more memorable and hassle free.
The Internet offers all travelers the opportunity to find various attractive hotels online. Many travel guide websites offer information on the best locations for every budget, occasion, or mood. Barbados is among the most sought after travel destinations, so it’s worth knowing how to use these travel guides to determine when is the best time to visit and where to find the best accommodations.
Travelers looking for more accommodation options, for example for a more intimate and private location in Barbados, can opt for cozy aparthotels.
An apartment hotel in Barbados is perfect for group or family travelers, as most offer two-bedroom apartments that can accommodate up to four people. Group travelers can save a lot on accommodation costs as the rates are relatively cheaper. They also allow travelers to have full control over meals and personal convenience with their home-style settings, amenities, and appliances.
Compared to hotels, these properties tend to be smaller but still offer excellent services and high-quality amenities. A typical unit consists of a living room and dining room, with a separate bedroom (or two bedrooms). Each unit is also equipped with appliances such as a refrigerator, coffeemaker, stove, and microwave, giving it a “home away from home” feel compared to typical hotels.
Apart from this, visitors also have access to services such as pool areas, spas and lounges, internal restaurants and entertainment areas. To keep visitors at ease with the security of their stay, the apartment hotels also have 24-hour security, intrusion detectors, and video surveillance.
A perfect example of a pleasant Barbados aparthotel is St. James Apartment Hotel, a well-known luxury property located on the west coast of the island. Formerly known as “Beachcomber Suites”, it has undergone extensive renovation and transformation into a luxurious yet intimate Barbados accommodation.
Visitors will definitely delight in the elegance of St. James, both inside and out. The facade is characterized by elegant balconies and double French windows, and a sophisticated brown-beige color scheme. The unit’s interiors feature an elegant combination of wood and wicker furniture and Italian-made kitchen facilities.
St. James is located next to world-class establishments such as luxurious spas, restaurants, tennis courts, and golf courses, making it an ideal choice for people wanting an elegant Barbados lifestyle experience. For the more adventurous and nature lovers, St. James also has an additional unique attraction: visitors can swim with friendly turtles that frequent the blue waters in front of the property.
If you are in the process of planning a trip to Barbados, remember to choose the accommodation that fits your budget and best suits you and the needs of your group or family.
