“The Sands hotel is in a great location on the south coast of the island, just a


10-minute walk in to St Lawrence Gap. On site, a fab pool area


with plenty of sunbeds looks out across the


ocean, and just steps away is the beach.


The main restaurant is also beachside, serving breakfast,


lunch, afternoon tea and dinner to a very good standard, and I was impressed by the variety of room types, from studios to three- bedroom apartments, nearly all with ocean view or ocean front.”


Best for: Hipster vibes


With its turquoise-and- white colour palette mirroring the aquamarine sea of Worthing Beach just steps away, this Mango Bay Group all-inclusive resort exudes a cool chic vibe. The beachfront setting and a streamlined saltwater pool make it the perfect stay for keen swimmers, while the fitness centre, spa and non-motorised


THE SANDS


watersports add to the health and wellness- focused vibe. A choice of 151 rooms


includes studios and one, two and three-bedroom suites, along with two- bedroom oceanfront penthouse suites, all of them furnished in a contemporary style. Two bars and two restaurants – a beachfront space serving Caribbean and international cuisine


and the rooftop à la carte restaurant Noir – ensure personal service from staff who quickly get to know their clients. The resort’s location


is nigh-on perfect too – it’s just a 15-minute drive from the airport and capital Bridgetown, while the restaurants, bars and nightclubs of St Lawrence Gap are within walking distance. thesandsbarbados.com
