Virgin Holidays View
Tucked away in a quiet resort on the picturesque West Coast of Barbados, The Palms Resort is made up of two nearby apartment complexes – the Halcyon Palm and Travellers Palm. Each offering well-equipped accommodation. Halcyon Palm is the larger of the two with 1-bedroom apartments nestled around tropical gardens and a swimming pool. Travellers Palm, although slighly smaller than Halcyon Palm, is where the main reception is and another pool. You can probably already picture yourself chilling out by the pool with a cocktail in your hand, soaking up the sound of the tropics. The nearest beach is a short 10-min stroll away, where you can dip your toes into the Caribbean Sea. At Travellers Palm you'll find a small café and bar serving breakfast and light meals throughout the day. You'll also be spoilt for choice in the local Holetown area which has a good selection of bars and eateries serving everything from Italian, Chinese, pizzas and local Bajan specialities to top notch 5-star restaurants.
