Address: Dover, Barbados
Opening onto 450m (1,476 ft.) of white-sand beach, this posh south-coast resort opened in 1998 and was named after the turtles that sometimes nest on the nearby sands. Its an all-inclusive property, drawing families, couples, and honeymooners. An open-air lobby opens onto the beach. All midsize rooms have ocean views, wicker furniture, ceiling fans, and voice mail. Beds have fine linens, and each one-bedroom suite offers both a queen-size bed and a sofa bed. If needed, free rollaway beds are provided. Bathrooms are luxurious, with tubs and showers.The open-air restaurant, Chelonia, serves international, nouvelle dishes that are -- especially for Barbados -- rather artfully experimental. The casually elegant Waterfront offers informal food such as design-your-own pizzas. Casual Asiago serves pleasant Italian fare. For diversity, Turtle Beach offers a dine-around program with its other tony properties, including Crystal Cove and Coconut Creek. Theres also nightly entertainment -- calypso, jazz, cabaret, and more. |
