Hi my name is Jessica Normans and I've recently been on holiday to Barbados. It was such an amazing trip and wanted to share with you where I stayed and why I stayed there.
I hope some people will find this information to be of use as I've heard of others not having such a good time in Barbados.
The Almond Beach Village in Barbados is a very
luxurious resort which is ideal for any big event
such as a wedding or honeymoon! It is however not
cheap, but you pay for quality for anything in life
and this is quality at its best.

When you first step inside the complex you’ll be
overwhelmed with the scenery and luxury that
surrounds you! What really gets your attention
though is all the detail and personal touches that
are presented to you. When you arrive you’ll get a
scented towel and a nice cold refreshing drink
(alcoholic is the mood takes you!)
Now for the accommodation, there are many types
available going from standard all the way up to a
presidential suite! Even if you go for a standard
room you’ll still get a first floor room that is
situated among the tropical gardens of the complex.
So whatever you feel like choosing, you’ll be
undoubtedly overwhelmed in luxury.
If you go for a Deluxe garden view room, you’ll be
higher up in the complex with views of the gardens
from above. There are a few other different types of
deluxe rooms which are just different views. You can
choose from either an ocean or a beachfront
property.
Above the Deluxe rooms you have the Superior rooms,
these are much larger rooms offering the same types
of views however. They have sitting areas outside so
you can enjoy the view much more while relaxing.
You’re then moving up to the suites which have
separate bedroom and living areas. This is going on
a whole new level of luxury, however the price can
start increasing quite a lot at this point due to
the demand of these. You will need to book in
advance at most times of the year.
Then of course you have the most expensive suite,
the Presidential one! It is ideal for 2 close sets
of partners to share a suite because it has 2
bedroom areas, 2 bathroom areas. You also have then
easy access to organise things with each other such
as going to dinner, going to the spa etc. But
definitely enough privacy when you want to just be
with your partner.
Whichever type of room that you choose to book, you
should be safe in the knowledge that you are going
to be booking yourself into a quality establishment
and that you have no worries about your holiday
accommodation!
There are a lot of things you can do on-site as
well, in the next section I’ll be talking about
different excursions that are available plus other
amenities which are on-site for you to use as much
as you like to make your holiday as enjoyable as
possible at the Almond Beach Village Barbados.
Now what kind of resort would be complete without
having some on-site dining facilities. So far we’ve
talked about all the wonderful types of rooms that
are available, but if you’re spending some decent
money on a holiday you’re going to want somewhere
nice to eat as well! This is not a problem for the
almond beach village Barbados. There are 5
restaurants to choose from each offering up a
different type of dining experience.
The resorts main restaurant is called Horizons, a
good name for somewhere which has views as amazing
as this one. It is open for breakfast which is a
buffet style and then again at lunch for another
buffet menu or an a la carte menu! Then for dinner
there is a continental cuisine a la carte menu which
changes each day so you’ll never get bored of what
to choose from! For those of you from Britain or
perhaps those who just want to experience a bit of
Britain, there is a “High Tea” served in the
afternoons each day. You may be on holiday, but you
might be missing hope just that little bit.
No one is going to get bored here with some of the
activities that are available at Almond Beach
Village Barbados! You have a choice from ten, that’s
right, ten swimming pools and there are also two
Jacuzzis to choose from! Perfect for those lazy days
when you just want to sit around and go for a swim
while you wash away those thoughts and problems that
you’ve left behind.
For those who like a bit of golf, there is a nine
hole golf course available, so don’t forget to bring
your clubs with you. And for those who want to burn
a bit more energy, you could always try the tennis
courts which are open both during the day and a
night when it’s a bit cooler for you.
You should also try and take advantage of the spa
services which are available, they also include
facilities for a manicure and the pampering
treatment which you will probably find very
relaxing! Massages, facials and much, much more! Who
could possibly say no to that? You should note,
these extra spa services cost separately and can
either be paid in advance or at the time in the
local currency. You might find it better to book
before you go, it can be a little bit cheaper this
way.
There are a lot of Excursions which you can take
around the island itself and I would encourage
anyone who goes to take advantage of these. They are
not something which you can do everyday at home!
Just to name a couple, you can go turtle feeding or
how about for the more adventurous a 4x4 tour to see
some sights you wouldn’t normally be able to get to?
You may be slightly surprised about some of the
things you see!
