Virgin Holidays View
This is the largest resort in the Sandals chain and offers the choice of 3 resorts for the price of 1. Climbing up a fabulously verdant hillside are the Ciboney Villas, where there is a collection of villas with shared pools surrounded by bright flowers and the central Manor House, which boasts a stunning main pool with intimate cabanas. Across the road and fronting a beautiful stretch of white sand is the Caribbean Riviera with an amazing boardwalk that extends out to sea, offering numerous sun-soaking spots and tropical alfresco dining. Land and water sports abound and golf is available nearby at Sandals Golf & Country Club. 11 restaurants and 10 bars leave you spoilt for choice and, of course, the Red Lane® Spa is on hand for those wonderful rejuvenating treatments. As the name implies, this really is resort living on the grand scale, offering garden serenity or beachfront exuberance.
