Barbados

4* Colony Club

Colony Club has been restored to its former glory following significant renovation of its ninety-six guestrooms, suites and public areas. This comes as part of a US$7 million refurbishment program.

Established by a British expatriate in the 1950s, this hotel is considered one of the more discreetly elegant hotels on the western coast where old world charm is coupled with new world standards of quality and comfort. Located on the famous platinum west coast of Barbados, the hotel is set in seven glorious acres of lush tropical gardens complete with waterfalls and swimming lagoons that lead down to the sea. It sits north of Holetown near one of Barbados' best beaches.

Every guestroom and suite has been refreshed along with new fixtures in all the bathrooms and expanded amenity facilities consisting of tea and coffee makers, complimentary bottled water upon arrival, bathrobes, slippers and beautiful new toiletries, all of which are now offered as standard. Most of the hotel's air-conditioned rooms are near the water, and the others are scattered throughout the gardens. The rooms have either a balcony or a patio.

The Laguna and Orchid restaurants have been given a contemporary new look with beautifully designed furnishings and décor and new menus blending Bajan influences with international, modern cuisine. In addition, the Orchid Room will provide an intimate dining experience for twenty select guests each evening.

With each improvement designed to enhance the guest experience, no area of the hotel has been left untouched. An elegant library just off the lobby has been added offering a selection of books, local and international newspapers and various board games.

The hotel has an upgraded pool terrace, features new sun loungers. A complimentary beach service offering water dispensers and cooling Evian sprays are also available to quench the thirst and provide a cooling respite from the midday sun.
