Why we love YOUNG ISLAND
A property which we believe creates the atmosphere of a true barefoot Caribbean holiday - set on its own private island away from the stress of everyday life. It is pure escapism which is a rare experience to achieve nowadays. Young Island appeals to a wide range of guests, and couples looking for some variety and a sense of adventure will be attracted by the option to spend a few nights during their holiday sailing through the Grenadines.
The location of the resort, on a totally private island just off St Vincent, has to be one of its best assets - a 'Robinson Crusoe' setting, but one that is not too remote as St Vincent is just minutes away by boat. To further enhance this experience, guests can book special packages which include a few nights cruising the Grenadines on the hotel’s private catamaran. Combine all of this with tasty food served alfresco by the waters edge, and the result is the perfect, understated hideaway holiday experience.
HOTEL LOCATION
A 25 minute drive from Argyle International Airport, St Vincent to Young Island dock plus a further 3 minute ferry ride to the island. A 20 minute taxi ride from the capital Kingstown. Young Island is a 35-acre triangular shaped island, 200 yards off the southern coast of St Vincent. It rises gradually to an altitude of about 150ft above sea level.

Why we love THE ATLANTIS HISTORIC INN
One of the chicest and most talked about boutique hotels on Barbados, The Atlantis Historic Inn dates back to the 19th century when the island’s original railway dropped off its passengers on the east coast for a ‘seaside’ holiday. In 2009, owners Andrew and Patricia Warden, immaculately restored the property creating an appealing unpretentious luxury that many people now seek for their holiday. Its spectacular position on the undiscovered east coast blows you away - the breezes here are constant, but cooling and delightful.
The nine oversized rooms are seriously romantic - imagine throwing open the bedroom shutters to the wild Atlantic Ocean waves, slipping back into the luxury of a four-poster-bed and watching the sun rise in the Caribbean - this is the place to do it. There's also a great restaurant, again with views to die for, smack bang on the Atlantic Ocean.
Family run by very hands-on owners who understand the meaning of unpretentious luxury, this is the perfect place to spend a few days and to combine with a west coast resort. We believe satisfied guests will doubtless return for longer.
HOTEL LOCATION
On Tent Bay, St Joseph at Bathsheba on the east coast of Barbados, with a transfer time from the airport of approximately 40 minutes and just a 30 minute drive through lovely countryside from the busier and better known west coast of the island. The capital Bridgetown is 40 minutes drive away.

Why we love SANDY HAVEN RESORT
This is a privately owned and extremely genuine boutique luxury on Negril’s famous seven-mile strip of fine white sand. Its location gives guests a great choice of local bars and restaurants which allows them to embrace the local vibe. There are 33 guest rooms with a choice of garden or ocean view, and the top category suites which directly face the ocean each have a private spa soaking tub – all rooms are superbly appointed with pampering extra touches and amenities definitely above the norm. The design is exquisite and contemporary with a stylish nod to Jamaica in terms of the art and décor.
There are two restaurants and bars, a pool, spa and fitness centre and of course a fabulous beachfront with unique beach cabanas. Guests can choose from various meal plans and the hotel can arrange exciting activities and tours as well as recommend other local spots for lunch or dinner ... although Sandy Haven’s own Bongos Restaurant and the Almond Tree Beach Bar & Grill are hugely popular.

Why we love LITTLE GOOD HARBOUR
Little Good Harbour offers something a little different for discerning Barbados visitors, particularly due to its location away from the busy and developing West Coast. It’s a refreshingly different, small and private beachfront hotel, close to a quiet fishing village on the island’s north west coast.
The historical aspect is certainly part of the appeal of the property, and the original 17th century Fort Rupert has been carefully and tastefully restored to create the restaurant, bar and two of the hotel's luxury suites. The other buildings which house the one and two bedroom suites are delightful Caribbean-style guest cottages and very in keeping with the environment, as are the oversized villa-style three bedroom Vineyard suites. It’s for discerning guests seeking a relaxed resort.
The 20 luxurious 1, 2 and 3 bedroom suites are furnished with a fusion of Balinese and Caribbean décor that creates a distinctly tropical ambience. The hotel's fabulous, and now renowned, water's edge restaurant, The Fish Pot, has become an increasingly popular lunch and dinner spot for hotel guests and visitors alike.
HOTEL LOCATION
Within a peaceful little fishing community (a coastal hamlet known as ‘Sherman’s’) Little Good Harbour, St Lucy is on the site of the historic Rupert Fort, dating back to the 17th century. Located just an hour's drive from the airport, 12 kms from Holetown and just 3 kms from Speightstown, where local amenities can be found.

Why we love JAMAICA INN
Jamaica is one of the most naturally beautiful, diverse and popular destinations in the Caribbean, and Jamaica Inn allows its guests to enjoy all of the beauty of the island from a peaceful and relaxing haven. We love the fact that you can lose yourself in the tranquillity that envelops the hotel, with no reminders of the outside world. The entire property is stylishly decorated but its crowning glory has to be the huge furnished balconies and verandas extending from each suite, providing fabulous open air living rooms. The hotel also boasts some spectacular signature suites, two of which - Cottage 6 and Cottage 7 are simply out-of-this-world!
Jamaica Inn has been one of the best loved hotels in the Caribbean since the 1950’s. It is a small and perfect all-suite hotel resting on 700ft of Jamaica’s premier private beach which is equally as good for swimming as it is for sunbathing. This privately owned property has been in the same family for over 60 years and has an incredible history of famous guests with stories many times told. To this day it remains one of the best loved hotels in the Caribbean, with wonderfully attentive staff, management and owners.
HOTEL LOCATION
Located on a private cove with an offshore reef two miles east of the Ocho Rios town centre.

Why we love EAST WINDS
East Winds has been a favourite property for many years and the excellent management and staff team they have in place really works. Guests can be assured of a truly exceptional all-inclusive hotel experience.
The variety of food is unbeatable - a different four-course gourmet menu is served most nights, accompanied by carefully selected wines stocked from several countries. The ambience is relaxed and the staff are so friendly that you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The owners are totally committed to maintaining the wonderful qualities now expected at this superb boutique hotel and guests, mainly from the UK, can be assured of a perfect holiday retreat.
The location of this boutique hotel is perfect - on one of St Lucia's most sheltered bays, and there’s an atmosphere of quality and exclusivity in the boutique style cottages scattered around the gorgeous gardens. It’s certainly a sought after winter retreat, and particularly popular with families and honeymoons in the summer. In short, it’s an 'all-inclusive' with a difference; low key and informal, yet elegant and very private.
HOTEL LOCATION
On the north west coast of St Lucia, 1 hour and 15 minutes by road from Hewanorra International Airport. The local airport at Castries, George FL Charles Airport (formerly known as Vigie) is a 15 minute drive away.

Why we love BEQUIA BEACH HOTEL
Like Bequia Beach Hotel’s owner, Bengt Mortstedt, we fell head over heels in love when we first stepped foot onto this pretty little island in the Grenadines! Bequia is an unspoilt, natural and incredibly charming paradise island.
After acquiring land on Friendship Beach, Bengt decided to build a hotel based on his very best hotel experiences during his extensive travels of his working life, and this has really paid off. The hotel has an elegance of a bygone era – the 1950’s. We adore the concept of Beverly Hills-style pool cabanas, the Oliver Messel inspired stylish rooms and the relaxed warm welcoming atmosphere.
Since its opening in 2011 the hotel has developed a following of repeat guests, mainly from the UK, who love the modern colonial style that combines elegance and charm with a unique modern flair. They also love the location, on Bequia’s best stretch of beach with views across to Mustique in the distance. It is the perfect spot from which to indulge in quiet relaxation, experience Bequian life and activities, plus a chance to sample some delicious local cuisine.
Visit Jack's Bar, set on the pristine Princess Margaret Beach, famous for their Jack’s Fried Chicken, Tempura Okra & The PM Burger
HOTEL LOCATION
On the south east coast on Friendship Bay, 10 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from the capital Port Elizabeth.

Why we love CURTAIN BLUFF
Very much a traditional Caribbean resort of quality. Its success lies in its longevity and continuity; particularly in terms of the high service standards and the wonderful dedicated staff with a fabulous hands-on management team who interact with guests. It has a unique position on a bluff with two sandy beaches and clear, blue waters. The renowned wine cellar is truly spectacular with 12 different champagnes and over 400 wines. The stunning spa with its spectacular waterfront location offers 5,000 sq ft of pure indulgence!
This world class resort and spa lies on the southern tip of Antigua, on a peninsular extending out into the azure Caribbean sea. Established over 50 years ago and maintaining the same private ownership, Curtain Bluff has become one of the leading hotels in the Caribbean today. Elegantly appointed beachfront guestrooms and lavish suites are cooled on the bluff by gentle ocean breezes. Gourmet cuisine is part of the exclusive-inclusive price at Curtain Bluff, plus bar drinks and numerous land and sea sports.
