Almond Beach Village

This superb family resort, spread out over 32 acres of attractive, landscaped gardens really does have a proper village atmosphere to it, courtesy of the friendly staff and excellent facilities.

It's fantastically child-friendly with all kinds of daily activities for 4½-16 years, from reggae dancing classes to pool activities (there's also a FREE crche for babies and toddlers from newborn-4½ years), but the resort realises that parents or couples need a little time on their own too, and offers a child-free

(no under 16s) section of the resort, including 3 interconnecting pools and an Italian adults-only restaurant.

While the kids have fun in their club - you can have fun trying out the huge range of activities FREE in the excellent all-inclusive package. There's a 9-hole, par-3 pitch 'n' putt golf course and water sports generously include water-skiing. On land, there's floodlit tennis and a fitness centre for a calorie-burning workout. Dining choices include Italian, Bajan and continental. 3 weekly floor shows and a nightly disco keep everybody in high spirits the whole night through.
