Virgin Holidays View
The Turtle Beach by rex resorts not only has a fantastic location on the beautiful sands of Courland Bay, but is also proud to boast that it has the largest lagoon-style swimming pool on the island - great for sun-worshippers of all ages. Whether you choose the swim-up bar or the beach bar, you can take your choice for that sneaky afternoon cocktail! For those more active, the water sports centre offers a wide range of sea-based activities, including sailing and scuba-diving with everyone from beginners to the more advanced catered for. Dining is usually a casual affair and Kiskadee Restaurant always offers a great selection of Creole and international dishes. After dinner, you can enjoy some authentic Caribbean entertainment, including steel pan, local bands and cultural shows. And from Mar-Jul, giant leatherback turtles come and lay their eggs right on the beach. Later, the baby turtles hatch to make their perilous way to the sea - a wonderful sight to behold!
