All Inclusive Archives

All-inclusive holidays are becoming increasingly popular these days, and with good reason. If you have ever been on one yourself you’ll understand just how much more enjoyable they can make your valuable time away and how much money they can actually save you in the long run. If you have never been on one before, here is a summary

Money. Imagine not having to carry money around with you wherever you go. Image not worrying about leaving your wallet on the beach when you go for a swim or having to find the right change to buy a drink. This is the peace of mind you get with all-inclusive holidays as you can get everything you need without a pound in your pocket

Travel.  A lot of resorts don’t have their own food outlets or restaurants and so you have to venture into the nearest town each time you get peckish or want and evening meal. This is not only costs you travel expenses each time but also eating at external restaurants every day soon pushes up your holiday costs. All-inclusive resorts have restaurants on site and usually offer a range of different food options. So no need to travel long distance to satisfy your appetite

Luxury. You go on holiday to have all your concerns taken away and not have to want for anything. Like luxury cruises, all-inclusive resorts are so convenient when you want a quick snack or cheeky drink that you’ll begrudge having to make anything for yourself when you return home.

An all-inclusive holiday in Barbados is the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.

Lovers of Golf will be in their element with some fantastic courses to choose from on the island. Here is our guide to three of the most beautiful and most challenging golf courses in Barbados.

Rockley Golf Club
The oldest golf club in Barbados, Rockley Golf Club is located on the picturesque south coast and is ideal for golfers of all ages and abilities.

The course features some testing holes and lengthy par threes, with the tricky par five being the most taxing on the course.

The Rockley Golf Club is set in beautiful scenery, and prices start from $78 for non members playing nine holes. Its club house is one of the friendliest on the island and is a great way to finish up a challenging round.

Barbados Golf Club
The Barbados Golf Club is a stunning course set in beautiful grounds in Durants in the south of the Island. The course was approved by the PGA European Tour to host the PGA Seniors Tournament in 2003, and the course has been host to the Barbados Open on numerous occasions.

The course was subject to renovations to its environmentally friendly design by Ron Kirby and the course presents a challenging game for golfers of all levels.

Highlights of the course include two “returning Nines” which includes a triple green bordering one of two lakes, and a chain of coral waste bunkers through four holes making for a challenging but exciting course.

Royal Westmoreland
The Royal Westmoreland 18 hole championship golf course is set on an exclusive Barbados estate and country club within a community of secluded luxury homes and holiday villas offering spectacular ocean views.

The grounds of the Royal Westmoreland is home to US Masters Champion Ian Woosnam who says the par three holes are some of the best he has played worldwide.

Highlights of the course include an old coral stone quarry, ocean views and the tricky 12th par three green which is lined by a ravine.

The course’s colonial style club house provides the focal point with its fantastic location, affording stunning views of the tropical grounds and coastline.

Barbados is a great holiday destination for golf lovers, and Almond have all-inclusive Barbados holiday packages at three magnificent resorts.
