Though recent visitors praised the family-friendly dining atmosphere, many said the dishes were subpar at best. When it's time to eat, travelers can indulge in a beachfront feast at one of the three on-site restaurants. Another bonus: Because Tamarind sits on a 750-foot strip of Paynes Bay Beach (on Barbados' western coast), guests have access to plenty of complimentary shoreline activities, including snorkeling, water skiing and paddleboarding. Tamarind also boasts Caribbean-inspired rooms and suites with oversized balconies or patios, flat-screen TVs, minifridges and free Wi-Fi access. Meanwhile, lovebirds can indulge in a sunset cruise for two or a couples spa treatment.
Kids can participate in educational activities through the Flying Fish Kids Club or join their parents on the family-sized daybeds surrounding the three pools. Tamarind offers tailored experiences to a range of travelers.
