Virgin Holidays View
This is a truly superb hotel with elegant surroundings, outstanding service and an enviable location on 2 white sand beaches lapped by gentle aqua waves, epitomising the Caribbean fantasy. The 17 tropical acres of gardens are beautifully tended and each of the buildings is romantically draped with brightly coloured bougainvillea — just adding to the delightful ambience. There's plenty to do during the day and you'll no doubt be tempted on to the beach by one of a generous array of water sports. Tennis and table tennis are popular and there's an 18-hole golf course* 5 min away. Wind down in the evening (if you haven't done so already!) with a delicious coconut crush — liberally splashed with local rum — while you watch pelicans dive and swoop for their meals. Your supper can be taken at one of the hotel's gourmet restaurants, washed down with an excellent claret from the wine list. An amazing holiday experience.
