Frommer's Review
Midway between Bridgetown and Oistins on a .8km (1/2 mile) sandy beach, this resort was created when two distinctly different complexes were combined. The present resort consists of buildings scattered over 20 hectares (50 acres) of sandy flatlands. The showpiece is the newer (inland) complex, housing one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens -- perfect for small families. These units look like a connected series of town houses, with wooden balconies and views of a large L-shaped pool. The beach is through two groves of palm trees and across a narrow lane. The more modestly furnished older units lie directly on the beachfront, ringed with palm trees, near an oval pool.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; beach snack bar; 3 outdoor pools; 2 tennis courts; fitness room; sailboat rentals; scuba diving; snorkeling; poolside activities for kids; salon; coin-operated laundry

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
