… spectacular west coast of Barbados. Barbados is the most eastern island in the Caribbean, and is a tiny dot on most world maps with an area of 430 square kilometres. Barbados has a population of about 260,000 - which is quite high considering its size. With 97 kilometres of coastline, Barbados has much to offer its visitors in terms of water sports and beach activities. The island is 34 kilometres long by 22 kilometres wide, and the highest point, Mount Hillaby, is just 373 metres and is located near the centre of the island and just west west of the breathtaking Scotland district. This dramatically rugged area comprises about one sixth of the island and meets the Atlantic in the northeast of the island. This is a clay area with jutting rocky spikes and ridges, and of course, breathtaking views. Bridgetown, originally called "Indian Bridge", is the capital and commercial centre of Barbados, with about 80,000 inhabitants. It is a busy port with a natural harbour inlet, known as the Careenage, and is well utilised by pleasure craft and fishing boats. The family-owned and managed Coral Reef Club is situated in 12 acres of tropical gardens on a long white sandy beach on the sheltered west coast of Barbados. A recently carried out extensive refurbishment enhances the unique qualities of this cottage style resort. Five special Plantation Suites have been added, each with its own plunge pool, to provide the ultimate luxury in a traditional Caribbean style. The management and the friendly, well-trained staff create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Coral Reef Club is a premier Barbados hotel and Caribbean resort. It is one of the most elegant luxury hotels in the Caribbean, an ideal holiday location for a relaxing Barbados, Caribbean vacation.
