TREASURE BEACH ST JAMES

TREASURE BEACH is a small , intimate hotel which enjoys a superb location on a typical white-sand beach at Paynes Bay , at the heart of the sophisticated West Coast . Situated amid luxuriant , tropical gardens bursting with palms of varying sizes , bougainvillaea and hibiscus , Treasure Beach has just 35 suites , which form a horseshoe shape around the freshwater swimming pool . About half the rooms face the gardens , with the remainder facing either the pool or the ocean . Dining here is a rewarding experience in the split-level dining room with retractable roof , from where you can enjoy the views across the swimming pool to the sea beyond . The restaurant serves international cuisine , using fresh ingredients from the Caribbean to create a wonderful fusion of flavours . Room service is also available for more intimate dining . The hotel offers a range of water sports from the beach at the hotel ( paid locally ) but can also arrange golf , riding , tennis and a variety of other activities nearby . A major appeal of the hotel is its intimate , cosy atmosphere and its ease of access to all the attractions that the island of Barbados has to offer . Treasure Beach underwent a major renovation several years ago , when two new Luxury Suites with private plunge pools were added on the edge of the beach . Treasure Beach is now one of the most luxurious and desirable boutique hotels on Barbados .
