About Tamarind, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

Tamarind, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort sits on Paynes Bay Beach in Saint James, so the beach is part of the stay rather than a trip away from it. The resort is rated 8.8 by 177 reviewers. Days here can start with a swim and end with a drink at the bar while the evening entertainment gets going.

Water is the focus. There are three outdoor pools, including one for adults only, plus a sun terrace, sun umbrellas and outdoor furniture for lounging. If you prefer to be more active, the resort has water sport facilities on site and snorkelling. A fitness center covers workouts, and the spa/wellness center, beauty services and hair salon services cover the pampering. Garden grounds and a terrace give you a quieter place to sit between swims.

Because this is an all-inclusive resort, meals and drinks are part of the plan. The restaurant is the base for dining, and themed dinner nights add some variety. Guests can order room service, and special diet menus are available on request. In the evening, entertainment staff run the programme. Families can also use the games room, table tennis and billiards, while children have kid meals and a kids' club.

The practical side is easy. Free WiFi and free parking are available, there is a 24-hour front desk, and the concierge service and tour desk can help with plans around the island. Currency exchange, a minimarket on site, laundry, dry cleaning and luggage storage cover the small things. Business and meeting facilities are available too. Check-out is at 11:00 AM, and a deposit may be required at the property.
