Tamarind Cove
We decided to spend our Honeymoon at the Tamarind Hotel after reading reviews regarding the calmness of ocean waves on the west coast. We were quite disappointed as the water was not clam at all. We were also disappointed in the beach which was littered with broken coral and difficult on the feet. The saving grace for our honeymoon was the excellent and super friendly staff !
my wife,daughter&grandson had an excellent holiday for a full week this past december at tamarind cove. this was the fourth visit for my wife and i. we hope to return again vvery shortly. the resort is our favourite place to vacation.

Service seemed to be slow at meal times, but hey, you are on vacation!
Why You Should Go
I feel the resort is more suited to couples and romantics. There are things for children to do, but they are limited.

Hotel Description
Redesigned and reimagined, Tamarind rests on a 750-foot crescent of premium white sandy beach on Barbados' West Coast and is as family-friendly as it is an exclusive adult hideaway. Tamarind features fully renovated and modernized guestrooms, the addition of an intimate spa and relaxation space and two completely reimagined restaurants. Contemporary sun loungers, day beds and decks, transform outdoor spaces into outdoor "living rooms," providing flexible spaces for dining, drinking, relaxing and gathering. Tamarind simultaneously offers a romantic atmosphere for couples and great amenities for families, including a new Kids Club and Teen Lounge.
Tamarind is the perfect setting for couples, families, reunions & groups. This oceanfront resort consists of several hacienda-style buildings set on a vast swathe of white sand beach next to the azure blue of the Caribbean Sea. Secluded courtyards, marble fountains, and colonnaded buildings create a Mediterranean ambience in a Caribbean setting.
No fewer than three separate freshwater pools lie hidden within the hotel's gardens, each providing an oasis of privacy and relaxation in a tranquil setting. The exquisite landscaped gardens open onto a glorious 750-foot stretch of sandy shore...beachfront perfection unmatched in Barbados.
Tamarind features fully renovated and modernised guestrooms, the addition of an intimate spa and relaxation space, with a range of body services inspired by local ingredients such as Bajan sea salt and Barbadian Moscovado brown sugar, and two completely redesigned and re-imagined restaurants. Pool and communal areas at Tamarind feature contemporary sun loungers, day beds and decks, transforming outdoor spaces into outdoor "living rooms" and providing flexible spaces for dining, drinking, relaxing and events. Tamarind simultaneously offers a romantic atmosphere for couples and great facilities for families.
The changes at Tamarind are not limited to physical amenities alone; the hotel is launching a series of new programs that will be rolled out across the entire Elegant Hotels collection. These include the new "Aqua School", offering complimentary watersports and instruction, ranging from stand up paddle boarding to snorkelling, waterskiing and more, along with "The Flying Fish Kids Club", which encourages a range of fun filled activities for kids, while the "Club Tamarind" teen lounge provides a cool place to hang out with large-screen Wii, popular game consoles and disco nights.
