An avenue of perfectly aligned Royal Palms leads to the exquisite Fairmont Royal Pavilion. This magnificent resort is surrounded by eleven acres of lush tropical gardens and private ocean front property in the parish of St. James on the scenic West Coast of Barbados. The Fairmont Glitter Bay, sister resort of The Royal Pavilion, resides within the same property, a quarter mile away, and as a guest of The Royal Pavilion you will be encouraged to enjoy the amenities offered at both resorts.
All 72 ocean front deluxe rooms overlook the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean, and feature private terraces that open onto a seven-mile stretch of smooth white sand. All bedrooms are decorated in soft Caribbean tones, air-conditioned and furnished with king- or twin-size beds. Seersucker bathrobes and bathroom amenities are provided along with a fully-stocked mini bar, hair dryer, coffee maker, iron and ironing board, cable TV, in-room safes, clock radio, direct dialing telephone with voice mail, and twice daily maid service.
A luxurious three-bedroom private Villa set among spectacular gardens accommodates up to six guests. A spiral staircase leads the way to an upstairs bedroom with a lovely ocean view from the balcony. A sitting area and two additional bedrooms are at ground level with views of the colorful gardens. The Villa is approximately 1,100 sq. ft. and overlooks Cafe Taboras, the pool, and the Caribbean. The same amenities are provided at the Villa as in the deluxe rooms. Although it must be noted that certain amenities are not available at the resort, such as, sofa beds, refrigerators, kitchen facilities, or whirlpools, non-smoking rooms are available.
The Palm Terrace Restaurant overlooking the Caribbean features international and local cuisine in an elegant, romantic setting. A delicious lunch on the open-air terrace began with fresh Spicy Ahi Tuna and an entree of grilled Mahi-Mahi, Herb Jasmine Rice with stir-fried Vegetables and Tabouleh Salsa. I tried hard not to indulge my sweet tooth but was completely won over by the incredibly smooth and tangy Mango-Chocolate Torte placed before me. Who could resist?
Cafe Taboras is open for those seeking lighter fare, such as pizza, pasta, and other alternative menu items. You can also walk over to the Piperade Restaurant at The Fairmont Glitter Bay for a change of scene and cuisine, as this lovely restaurant, with it's Moorish arches and cool ocean breezes, sits so close to the sea you can almost feel the salt spray on your face. Guests of either property have full signing privileges beBook The Royal Pavilion Onlinetween hotels.
