Fodor's Expert Review Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados

Rooms in this high-rise hotel overlooking pretty Carlisle Bay, just south of Bridgetown, are modern and sleek with espresso-color furniture, sparkling white linens, and each with a desk with ergonomic chair, comfortable sitting chair and ottoman, 42-inch flat-screen TV, a mini-refrigerator, and the latest in-room technology. Vacationers love the magnificent white-sand beach—and its crystal-clear water and gentle waves—that stretches completely around the bay, as well as its proximity to The Garrison Historic Area, local restaurants, and other activities. At the same time, businesspeople find the location (and meeting space) convenient to Bridgetown. A breakfast buffet and other meals are served at the Aquatic Club restaurant, which is located on a long pier that extends into the sea; Neptune's Grill, on the beach, serves breakfast, lunch, and all-day snacks.
