Our opinion
Treasure Beach is cosy and intimate amid pretty gardens on a west coast beach.
Hotel description
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 forming 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 serenity of views across the swimming pool to the sea beyond. The restaurant focuses on Mediterranean 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 and 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 a couple of years ago when two new Luxury Suites with their own plunge pools were added on the edge of the beach. Treasure Beach is now one of the most luxurious and desirable small hotels on Barbados.
