The nearby 4 star hotel issues inexpensive day passes, which entitle you to use all the facilities including: golf, watersports, childrens club, pools, restaurants, bars etc., these can be arranged locally. If water is not your thing - maybe a horseback ride through the historic sugar plantations is something to think about.

The best of Barbados:
No matter what your tastes there is something for everyone on the beautiful island of Barbados. It's very easy to get around independently, either on public transport (a trip on a reggae bus is an absolute must), or if you decide to hire a car. Whatever, there is so much to see and do that one visit to Barbados will not be enough. There are lots of historic sights, preserved sugar plantations and colonial buildings, nature areas, such as Animal Flower Cave, the amazing Harrison's Cave, beautiful stunning scenery along the rugged East Coast and of course the fabulous white sandy beaches that Barbados is famous for.
Dining and Entertainment:
Barbados caters to every taste in this department also.
Speightstown has it's own charm with several bars and restaurants within walking distance. If you wish to venture further afield - just a 10 minute drive will take you into Holetown where world class restaurants and evening entertainment awaits, a favourite celebrity haunt, it's not unusual to see several in just one evening.... For the more adventurous a visit to the famous fish fry at Oistins on Friday nights is a must, and will surely provide a memorable evening. All is within easy reach and a car is not a necessity if you wish to take a break from your day to day life. Relax and enjoy.
Other Activities:
Diving can be arranged previously including night dives with the fabulous Reefers and Wreckers Dive Shop a minutes walk away.
