Description:
Upgrades on flights and accom available call for details extend your stay, take the kids we can adapt to your requirements.
Little Bay is the location, quiet and secluded with 14 acres of gardens beside the beach.
There's a permanent breeze which helps cool you down in the sun, and the waves are great for boogie boarding - otherwise you can relax, take it easy, and watch the experts whizz up and down the waves on their wind- and kitesurfers - it really is spectacular! Studios with kitchenettes are available if you like the flexibility of self-catering, though if you'd rather be eating than cooking, the 2 restaurants will look after you. All rooms are comfortable, but we highly recommend you upgrade to the newer, deluxe Ocean View Studios and Suites. If you fancy a night out, St Lawrence Gap is not far away by taxi, otherwise enjoy the tranquillity of this secluded hotel.
