<p>This three-pearl hotel with 66 rooms on the south coast of Barbados received a makeover when new owners took over in 2014. The most notable feature here is the hotel's prime location on Dover Beach -- ideal for both sunbathing and swimming -- plus there are two outdoor pools. </p><p>Modern rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, as well as balconies -- some of which overlook the turquoise sea. Guests can drink and dine at the property’s beachside restaurant and bar, and more options are within walking distance along the touristy St. Lawrence Gap<br></p><p><br></p><p>The standard pool view rooms are located on the landside and look onto a large central pool and beautifully manicured grounds.  Featuring incredibly spacious layouts with large en suite bathrooms, roomy living and sleeping spaces and expansive patios, the pool view rooms offer more living for less and are ideal for groups, families or couples.  The furnishings reflect a distinctive blend of Caribbean styles with vibrant colors, large wicker living room sets, teak wood patio furnishings, locally hand crafted wooden desk and chairs, one locally hand crafted queen bed and chest of drawers.</p>
