Barbados' Bougainvillea Beach Resort,owned by Gordon and Maria-Nancy Seale and Chris McHale, was named after Maria-Nancy's favourite flower. The bougainvillea cascades in multi-coloured blossoms from the balconies and gardens throughout the property. (Please click photo above for instant reservations!)
"The hotel was designed so that when you stand in the lobby and look down, you can see (and hear) the numerous waterfalls and pools, you can see the lush gardens and you can see the ocean. "We wanted to bring everything Caribbean to our guests in the first glance." offers Sharon Hugh-White, marketing and sales manager of the hotel.
Christ Church Parish -
Located in Christ Church Parish on the southern coast of Barbados, just five miles from the airport, the Bougainvillea Beach Resort began building in 1995 when sister hotel, The Sand Acres, situated next door, found the demand was so great that they were always sold out. Each room or suite at The Bougainvillea has views towards the ocean, garden and pool area.
Another thing I liked about this hotel is that it has made a commitment to help keep Barbados free from pollutants, such as cake soaps and harsh detergents. Awarded "The Green Globe Certification", at the World Travel Market in London, England, in October 2001, the hotel also has "Green Globe Certified" workers on property who maintain their ecological commitment.
Activities - Our deluxe one-bedroom suite was spacious, bright, and spotless. The bedroom was furnished with a comfortable king-sized bed, sturdy end tables, a double dresser, plenty of closet space, and French doors that opened out to the garden below. The bathroom was larger than my last office and equipped with liquid soaps, shampoos and conditioners provided in dispensers on the wall.
The fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and living room were decorated in soothing peach, green and cream tones. The hotel's namesake - bougainvillea - bloomed profusely each day, and from the balcony were views of the sea, the pools, gardens and waterfalls.
My husband and I are not big fans of air conditioning, so we opted for open doors. Warm wind circulated the fragrant night air; the sound of surf washing against the shore, mingling with the gentle "tweet" of tiny tree frogs sent us into a deep and restful sleep each night.
