The House resort in St. James, Barbados, epitomizes lavish luxury and indulgence from first greeting to final farewell. Nestled in the pristine opalescent beaches of the Gold Coast of Barbados, this adults-only, couples-oriented resort greets guests with a welcome beverage and "jet lag revival massage." Each couple is assigned a personal ambassador who has one simple task: cater to the guests' every comfort. Visitors can soak up the sun on the unspoiled beaches while personal ambassadors deliver cold towels, fruit and chilled beverages. Guests can enjoy complimentary use of personal watersports equipment such as snorkeling gear, boogie boards, windsurfers, kayaks and small sailboats. Water taxis can transport guests to area facilities that offer scuba diving instruction and excursions, parasailing and glass-bottom boat trips. The House's 32 guest suites are arranged around an open courtyard with a magnificent tropical garden and sparkling pond. The cool tropical ambience is actualized with a décor of immaculate white walls, curtains with sparkling blue accents, and mahogany and rattan furniture on resplendent floors of terra cotta tile with straw area rugs. The bi-level outdoor pool features a 15-foot jetted section and a scallop-shaped 36-foot swimming area. Complimentary full American/English breakfast buffets, high tea and evening appetizers are provided. Chefs at Daphne's have perfected an Italian menu with a Caribbean accent for seasonal lunches and year-round dinners in an open-air beachfront restaurant. The Deck is open 24 hours, serving breakfast, lunch and snacks.
Guest suites are spacious, open-air private residences and feature balconies or ground floor patios with full ocean or garden views. Fine white Italian linens and goose-down comforters wrap guests in luxury. Pale marble bathrooms feature twin vanity sinks, and suites are equipped with minibars, refrigerators and espresso machines.
