A Barbados Luxury Hotel, when is it a Hotel, and when is it not a hotel, is a relevant question when considering the Royal Westmoreland as your destination for the ultimate in luxury family vacations.

A traditional luxury hotel is enclosed in a relatively small area, with reception, dining rooms, bars all under one roof, and lifts, and the kind of similar trappings to this.

Royal Westmoreland on the other hand is a huge 750 acre resort and consists of privately owned luxury villas scattered around the world class golf course which has been beautifully laid out to maximise its scenic effect.

It sits on a ridge overlooking the Caribbean Sea, being around 5 miles inland from Holetown on the west coast of Barbados, but is so peaceful and tranquil compared to all the beach areas. If you want to travel into Holetown this is easily done and there you will find a host of restaurants and shopping malls if you suddenly need retail therapy and a bit of action.

The facilities include a swimming pool, Spa, Gym, Golf, Tennis, and pool access at the Colony Club, and use of the private beach area they have as well, where the Royal Westmoreland has its own part, and a shuttle bus to take you there and back.
