Tamarind Cove Barbados

This is the story of our perfect honeymoon. Perfectly us, that is. And far from perfect. Our trip was the exotic escape that we expected. If you are looking for nightlife and bustling activity-this place is not for you. If you want relaxation, privacy, and romance-this place is definitely for you. If you don't like nature-this place isn't for you. If you like bike rides through the lush forest or a hike with the staff botanist this place is for you.

When we pulled up, there was someone waiting to greet us with peach and anise scented towels to cool our faces. We were escorted into the lobby and offered fresh Tamarind Margaritas. We were taken by golf cart on a tour of the grounds.

To our great surprise were upgraded from standard rooms to one bedroom suites at no extra cost. The rooms and maid service were fantastic and could not have asked for better rooms.

Tamarind Cove has two restaurants: Tangiers, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the Caribbean-centric, open-air Sasso, open for dinner only, at different times depending on the week. Our favorite restaurant was Sasso. A Bistro you will find inside the Cove. Sasso offers Mediterranean inspired cuisine with a touch of their own. Both the restaurants served great food, although we were only at Taramind for 7 nights, I could see that the menu could NOT get monotonous even if you stayed for 14 nights.

I highly recommend Tamarind! It is truly a peaceful sanctuary. Beautifully designed hotel with all you could wish for!
