Almond Beach Village Resort, Barbados

By , About.com Guide

Almond Beach Village Resort: Background

Almond Village is a family-friendly all-inclusive property on Barbados' west "gold coast". A second family-friendly property, the Almond Casuarina Beach Resort, is on the white-sand Dover Beach on the south coast of Barbados. Another resort, the Almond Club & Spa features romantic getaways.

Barbados is a small Caribbean island that's been much developed in the last twenty years. (Read about family vacations in Barbados.)

Barbados is perceived as “the most British” of the Caribbean islands, and is considered a safe, friendly island. Known for high-end resorts such as Sandy Lane, prices may be higher than on some other Caribbean islands. Barbados is especially popular with UK visitors who take packages offered by several UK vacation companies.
