We spent 7 nights at Carimar and fell in love with Meads Bay! The hotel is perfectly situated along a mile wide beach with luxury resorts within walking distance for fine dining and cocktails. 4-5 other restaurants are within walking distance as well as a grocery store. Housekeeping was great. The front desk helped us with reservations and recommendations daily. We used the free bikes to explore a bit, but the roads are not the best and there are no sidewalks. Most frequent visitors rent a car. The taxi rides were pretty much a minimum of $20. Also, we used the new gym- it had all we needed: 3 pieces of cardio, free weights, and an all-in-one resistance machine. Overall, the sand and water are beautiful! No crowded beaches or loud groups. This hotel is ideal for a peaceful week of laying on the beach!!
