The House, Barbados

Like staying at a generous friend's house, with the bar always open.

Paynes Bay, St James (west coast) · $$$$

The friendliness and service at this boutique hotel on Barbados' west coast make it feel like staying at a generous friend's house. It's child-free and all-inclusive, and there are few better places to unwind. Premium-label drinks and water sports are included. Much of the team has been here for years, and it shows in the smiles and the warm care given to every guest.

Good to know

An intimate, adults-only all-inclusive, so it suits small groups who want to switch off. Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, which helps with corporate booking and loyalty points.
