Fodor's Review:
Perhaps Barbados's best-kept secret, this small seaside inn on the southeast coast is the sweetest deal we've found on the entire island. Forego the flashy accoutrements of a resort and, instead, claim one of these stylish suites as your own. With no in-room noisemakers and no children around, the only sounds you will hear are the gentle surf and your own conversations. Hands-on British owners Adrian and Margaret Loveridge purchased Peach, the first hotel designed by noted architect Ian Morrison, in 1988. In 2004, they renovated and refurbished the entire property. Decor in the spacious suites, arranged in whitewashed Mykonos-inspired buildings, is elegantly spare. Each has a large terrace or balcony and a stocked bookshelf; bathrooms have showers only. Besides lazing in the pool and windsurfing at nearby beaches (a five-minute walk), guests enjoy swimming and snorkeling among 120 noted varieties of tropical fish in a "rock pool" naturally created by the sea, joining 5-mi (8-km) early-morning or late-afternoon walks, and stargazing at night. You're advised to rent a car.

The Best Bargain In The Caribbean
Posted by apter from New York on 1/28/08
Don't tell all your friends about this place. It is a jewel and the bargain of the century. If you can handle not having air conditioning, which by the way is not necessary, and can accept towels that are not as fluffy as you might want, then this is the place for you. Great location, great food available if you like, wonderful hosts, close to the airport. A real bargain.
Return trip
Posted by kpjgojo from NYC on 3/6/07
My boyfriend and I visited in the winter of 2002 and returned for our honeymoon in 2006. It was difficult to have to wait so long between visits. The P & Q staff are exceptional at making each and every person's visit personal and perfect. The food is fantastic and Margaret and Adrian make your vacation all about you. While one can easily visit the rest of the island through public transportation or car rentals, who wants to? Once you've checked in, you won't need (or want) to leave. The beauty of the island and the sea isn't marred by tourists and time seems to stop and fly by when visiting. I can't wait for any opportunity to visit again.
