The hotel opened in mid 2008, so everything about it is brand new. The rooms are spacious, and it sits on a great stretch of Maxwell Beach. There are a nice selection of restaurants and bars to chose from. You can walk from the property into the Gap area if you want to try some restaurants.
What I wish I
could change:
I found the music in the area by the pool to be a little loud. The hotel said they were working on some accoustic problems, so I hope it will be fixed soon.
Why YOU should
go:
This is one of three Almond resorts in Barados. This property caters to both couples and families, although I think that Adults will prefer the Casuarina. The main pool is right by the beach, with a great pool bar. There is also a second chill out pool that is more laid back than the main pool.
Newly opened in 2008 after an extensive refurbishment. The all-inclusive property is set on the white sands of Maxwell Beach on the south coast of Barbados, and has extensive tropical gardens. Almond Casuarina Beach combines an elegant, natural setting with sophistication for singles, couples and families. There are three gourmet restaurants serving breakfast, lunch and a la carte dinner and a choice of four bars.
