The Turtle Beach Resort is located in the charming parish of Christ Church on the Barbados Island. Barbados is an independent island state in the Common Wealth of Nations, with a rich British history. Just a short walk from the beachside resort, guests may enjoy the nightlife and dining of St. Lawrence Gap. The Gap, as locals call it, is something of a bridge between island culture and English colonialism, offering unique live entertainment and bands through several pubs and nightclubs. The resort sits along a 1,500-foot beach of soft pearly sand, the cyclic nesting grounds to hundreds of hawksbill and leatherback turtles. Barbados's sea turtle population has recovered since a conscious effort began twenty years ago to eliminate poaching. Now, many seasoned turtles have grown accustomed to human contact and several snorkeling outfits offer the opportunity to swim amongst them.
The resort's atmosphere drifts in a breeze of unhurried informality. The Turtle Beach Resort's lagoon pool and rock garden compliment the free-form pool, landscaped by tropical foliage. Guests socialize around live music performed nightly at the poolside gazebo. Several choices in dining are available at the Turtle Beach Resort. Chelonia Restaurant serves a la carte gourmet lunch in an open-air veranda. Dinner becomes a formal affair, with menu entrees such as peppered mahi mahi, and poached mussels. The Waterfront Bar & Restaurant offers a casual fare of tropical drinks, imports and grilled cuisine. All-inclusive room- rates include food, house wines and bar drinks.
Suites at the Turtle Beach feature large balconies, with white sheer curtains dressing the balcony threshold. Interior décor is bright and comfortable, with tile flooring and luxuriously upholstered rattan chairs. Enjoy splendid relaxation and recreation accommodations beachside at the casually sophisticated Turtle Beach Resort.
