Fodor's Expert Review Ocean Two

St. Lawrence Gap, Dover, Christ Church, Barbados Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Couples and families are drawn to this sophisticated, high-rise resort on Dover Beach as most accommodations are residential-style suites, with sitting rooms and full kitchens—even a dishwasher and washer/dryer. A few are standard hotel rooms, and all but a handful of "bay view" two-bedroom suites have a full ocean view. A 150-foot-long pool stretches between the eight-story building (with elevators) and the reef-protected beach. You'll find plenty of water sports equipment to enjoy, along with an adults-only plunge pool on the rooftop with a poolside bar and evening canapés. Dine in your suite (grocery delivery available) or at Taste, the open-air restaurant.

PROS

  • stunning ocean view from sitting rooms
  • beautiful beach and inviting pool
  • in-room spa services

CONS

  • showers only, no tubs
  • Taste restaurant could be more tasty—and it's expensive—but plenty of dining options nearby
  • room furnishings could use updating
