The toilets in the guest center are large and accessible, and outside vendors are happy to offer everything you want to see from your cabins.

Hastings Boardwalk, Azure and I accidentally discovered this trail because it surprised me at lunch at a restaurant called Tapas and sat there. This was the first Barbados trail with sweeping views, seats and retreats, located approximately one mile from Rocky Beach to Bridgetown. The stairs start below the Accra Beach Hotel, which runs parallel to the highway to Hastings. A short stop from Coconut Palace is also complemented by a well-organized scenic view and a landscaped garden where guests can enjoy views of the south coast and sunsets.
