| If you are going to stay at The Beach House | | | | is no exception. The advice given to me was |
| in Barbuda, then I would make the following | | | | to regard your suite as your own beach house |
| comments to you. | | | | on your own beach, and when you treat it like |
| | | | that, then everything falls into place. No |
| The first thing is don't even try to bring | | | | televisions, are a welcome feature, after all |

| from anything else the ambience of the resort | | | | |
| isn't right for kids, and they don't let you. | | | | The suites all have a large sitting area, and |
| | | | very comfortable King size, goose down four |
| You need to own an oil well to come here, | | | | poster beds, which look out right onto the |

| a salt water pool surrounded by wooden | | | | mostly OK, sometimes very good, and |
| decking, but honestly, the beach is just so | | | | occasionally brilliant. |
