The Settlers Beach Hotel sits back from the main road just north of Holetown on the west coast of Barbados. This small resort has just 22 villas set in 4 acres of tropical gardens overlooking a beautiful sandy beach. The beach sweeps along the bay and the water here is very calm, making it perfect for swimming. This is also a good section of beach to stroll along and heading south you can walk right down to Holetown itself. A wide range of water sports can be arranged directly from the operators who work along the beach and complimentary non-motorised water sports facilities are available from the hotel itself.
Right Choice

We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
