Almond Beach Village


Almond Beach Village - St. Peter, BarbadosThis resorts does what every resort should do; they ask the parents what is working and what's not in their Mini-Club for 2 to 4 year olds and their Kids' Club for 5 to 12 year olds. And this is just what you want. Someone responsive to what matters to you.

Almond Beach Village - St. Peter, BarbadosDonna Maxwell, the resorts' program director says, "Over the years, we've responded to parents suggestions, moving the bulk of the Kids' Club outdoors, with fun activities such as swimming races, snorkeling, pool Olympics, and kayaking. We also added attractions families can enjoy together, such as puppet shows and outdoor fairs."

Almond Beach Village - St. Peter, BarbadosAnd Almond Beach Village does something special to incorporate the culture of Barbados into the family experience. The resort offers Calypso dancing and limbo on the pool deck. In addition, you can get involved in the arts and crafts using natural elements found on property. But our favorite would have to be the "Taste of Barbados" program where you can sample nut cakes and other local sweets. Bring it on!
