"A remarkable, luxury property...of tropical gardens. All rooms and suites have private balconies or patios. There are four freshwater swimming lagoons."

"The Colony Club is an upmarket, civilised and unflashy hotel by an excellent west-coast beach. And though rates are high, lots of "extras" are included."

"On three lushly landscaped hectares, 13 km north of Bridgetown, one km north of Holetown...this property ranks with the Tamarind as the best value offering of Elegant Hotels of Barbados."
