Default Anybody been to an ALMOND in Barbados???

I see you get no replies, so let me try:
You know Barbados, right? So you know where those two hotels are located.
You know one is in Sunset Crest, and one right outside Speightstown.
One is quite large, one is not so large.
The beach Village is aparently more family orientated, and have a lot of
facilities for children and families. While the Almond beach club is more
targeting couples.
Renovation... I was in Barbados in november/december, and A LOT of
renovation is going on at hotels. Competition is getting harder I guess, and
they are also prepearing themselves for world cup cricket in 2007, that
Barbados will host.
I did not move around a lot in Barbados this time, I did not even bother to
go up to the west coast. But I saw that Caribee hotel, Sierra Beach Hotel
and Casuarina were all closed for renovation. Lots of others were open
while renovating. Among them were Accra. Coconut Court was just finished
with their renovations.
I think you had better contact the two hotels to ask before you make up
your mind. Living in a construction site is hardly ever a great idea.
