The Soco Hotel - Adults Only  

On Barbados' sun-soaked south coast in Hastings, a boutique, adults-only spot sits right on the beach. Surf in Barbados Surf School is a 3-minute walk and Lanterns Mall is about seven minutes on foot. The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is 0.9 miles away and Rockley Golf Course about 1.6 miles. Nearby beaches include Accra, Rockley and Worthing — perfect for sea-breeze mornings.

This uncluttered, chic hotel blends South Beach style with Caribbean flair across 24 ultra-modern rooms. Expect white leather bed heads, crushed bamboo and veneered furniture, air conditioning and private balconies with ocean views. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with premium bedding, iPod docks, DVD players and 42-inch TVs. Bathrooms come with separate tubs and showers and bidets. Friendly service and a 24-hour front desk keep things smooth.

An all-inclusive vibe meets laid-back luxury: outdoor pool, onsite spa and massages, beachfront restaurant with pool views, plus a bar/lounge and limited-hours room service. Concierge and wedding services are available, and the hotel runs shuttles to local shops (surcharge). Free self-parking is on site and an airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected while you work or plan days out.

Restaurant at SoCo serves Caribbean cuisine by the beachfront with alfresco, pool-view dining. Expect great food and drinks that lean local and fresh, plus a bar/lounge for sunset cocktails.
