Looking for AI for my sister's family (2 teens 15 &amp; 16)for New Years Week/04. Wld. Almond Beach Village be a good place? Have heard mixed reviews on this property. Wondering if any of you have stayed there recently? What do you think? Suggestions? Looking for great beach for walking/swimming, beautiful pool area, nicely appointed rooms, great food, basketball court, pool tables, volleyball....basically a 'stay-at-the-resort' kind of place. Ideas??? <BR>Thanks, <BR>Turtle

Look thru the questions and you'll see some replys regading the Almond Beach Village. I asked the same questrion cause I am going there in June.

Have never been there but considered going at one time - I decided against it because I read some pretty negative things about it on the Internet. It seems to be a typical 'family place' though, but rather run-down and with indifferent service. But someone who has actually been there recently will no doubt be able to give you better information.

was there 2 years ago at the club and travel there for a day trip ,it was a good property,keep in mind that things are very expensive in barbados and the 4 stars is more like 3 stars in other country.<BR>you want to stay at the west side ,where the beaches were the best and you are free and safe to walk along,<BR>1 day we walked for 4 hours -from the club to the village,the most beatuiful beach i have even seen.<BR>you have to go all inclusive, because the price of food and dining will shock you system for years and years.<BR>i was in barbados twice , rented a car for 3 days each time , right hand drive<BR>small roads , no line on the road , no map to buy , no road signs, kind of hard to do, you can hire a taxi for a day to go the the east coast and south coast , they know the way and save a lot of lost time. shouldnt take more than 2 days to see the whole island<BR>very british . have fun,<BR>the most beatiful place i have ever been

Hi Turtle1,<BR>Almond beach resort is a very nice hotel, physical structure is good, service is good, atmosphere is nice, beaches are very nice and tranquil.<BR>The also have good entertainment laid down for you, with the Almond Beach band, and a number of other acts.<BR><BR>Staying at Almond would be a good choice, it's in the heart of Speightstown, only thing to get to Bridgetown you need to travel about 25-45 minutes depending on traffic.<BR><BR>If you or anyone has any questions about Barbados, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I will give you the answer, I live in Barbados, so it is easy for me to get answers.<BR><BR>I also suggest you subscribe to the newsletter &quot;Discover Barbados&quot; it is compiled with people like you in mind, that needs current and up to date information.
