Name: Stunning New Luxury Beachfront Condo - Allure 202
Address: Brighton Beach

One of the most popular starting off points for serious divers. Several wrecks offer beginning to advanced depth exploration.

Paradise Beach and Batts Rock Beach are just 3 miles (5.2 kilometers) north of Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados. Take advantage of this convenient location for a quick beach trip if you have a free half day on your arrival or departure date.

During your vacation, make a longer trip to Paradise for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Look for colorful coral and tropical fish around the occasional rock formations in shallow water.

Arrange scuba excursions to interesting shipwrecks in deeper water. If you’re relatively new at diving, investigate the barge Lord Combermere resting in 40 feet (12 meters) of transparent water or Lord Willoughby in 60 feet (18 meters). Both are off the shore of Paradise and Batts Rock. You’ll find coral, small fish and sponges. The Charles Bank ranges from 50 to 140 feet (15 to 43 meters) in depth and is an excellent spot for many varieties of coral.

The highlight for most divers is the SS Stavronikita, lying bow to stern at 70 and 100 feet (20 and 30 meters). The 365-foot (111-meter) Greek freighter caught fire in the Caribbean and was towed to Barbados for salvage. In 1977, the Barbados Parks and Beach Commission bought the vessel, salvaged valuable items and did an environmental cleanse, then sunk it to create a wreck for diving. It’s located 400 yards (366 meters) off the shore near Paradise Beach.

Explore the underwater ghostlike shadows of the structural features. Observe how coral is forming on the ship, gradually turning the man-made vessel into a part of the subsurface barrier that protects the western beaches.

You’ll find several reputable dive crews on Barbados. Arrange your dives before you arrive to be sure you can reserve the days and sites you desire.

Back on shore, picnic in the shaded area between the two beaches or wander to the fishing village in nearby Freshwater Bay. To reach Paradise Beach by car, enter and park through the Batts Rock entrance. Buses and taxis from Bridgetown are very convenient.

The month of September is their off season. So the resort was not crowded. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good. The adult rooftop pool and Oasis were closed for renovations. I received a letter from the resort advising me of these closures well after my trip was booked and about a week before the trip. That left only two pools, both of which are small and only one swim up bar. Our first full day the pool on the adult side with the swim up bar was closed until about 3 due to staff power washing the pavers on the walkway around the pool. The next day the pool was being cleaned so we were told we couldn’t sit around the bar area for a while. Give one pool was already closed for renovations, cleaning of the pool and pavers around the pool should have occurred before or after hours. Also, the beach and beach furniture was not kept up at all during our stay. It would have taken very little to clean the beach to make it more appealing for use. We had spa treatments which we really enjoyed. The views from the spa are wonderful and the staff is great. Dining at Oro (the only restaurant for which you have to make a reservation) was a real treat. And, breakfast every morning was really good and again the staff was very friendly. We went to the fish fry at Oistin’s but didn’t eat because the lines were long. But, there was a band and entertainment - it was a good vibe. Overall, besides the issues with the pools and the beach, I would recommend the O2 Beach Club and Spa

Não tinha informação sobre um dos restaurantes estar fechado, me incomodou pois só tinha 2 opções e para 1 semana de hospedagem não foi bom. Não gostei do meu quarto, pois queria cama king e recebi um quarto com 2 camas e que não eram boas. Reclamei bastante, mas apenas no dia seguinte conseguiram outro quarto, aí sim foi muito bom!
