"Almonds Resorts" is a small family of all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean; Almond Casuarina Beach Resort is the third resort on the island of Barbados; the Almond Beach Village Resort/link] is also family-friendly, with a nursery. Meanwhile the Almond Morgan Bay and Almond Smugglers Cove are on St. Lucia.

The Almond Casuarina Beach Resort is on the white-sand Dover Beach on the south coast of Barbados. Barbados is a small Caribbean island that's been much developed in the last twenty-five 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, price point may be higher than on some other Caribbean islands. Barbados is especially popular with UK visitors taking packages offered by UK vacation companies.

"Casuarina", by the way, is the name of a tropical tree - many resorts are named for the Casuarina, in the Caribbean and elsewhere.
