Our Take: Tamarind offers tailored experiences that cater to families, couples, and business travelers. 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. Meanwhile, lovebirds can indulge in a sunset cruise for two or a couple's spa treatment. And if you're at the Tamarind on business, you'll stay productive with en-suite Internet access and a fully equipped business centre. Tamarind also boasts newly renovated rooms and suites that feature oversized balconies, iPod docking stations, and flat-screen TVs. Another bonus: Because Tamarand sits on a 750-foot strip of Paynes Bay Beach (on Barbados' west coast), guests have access to plenty of complimentary shoreline activities, including snorkeling, windsurfing, and paddle boarding. When you're ready to eat, indulge in a beachfront feast at one of the three on-site restaurants. Though recent visitors praise the family-friendly dining atmosphere, they also say the revolving menus can get repetitive during long stays. For a change of scenery, hop on a free water taxi and try the cuisine at the other Elegant properties dotting Barbados' west coast.
