A wide variety of recreational activities is not something everyone requires to enjoy the perfect tropical vacation. While some vacationers would rather stay at a hotel with a lot of recreational activities available, other hotel guests are perfectly content with very limited recreational options, or they just want an attractive, comfortable place to get away from it all. Even though this hotel doesn't offer a long menu of active recreational amenities the Divi Heritage Beach Resort may have everything you need in a vacation retreat.
Water and Fitness
Since this hotel is located on the water the lack of a swimming pool isn't much of a handicap for most guests, since they can just head to the beach whenever they want to take a refreshing swim. As a matter of fact, even when there is a pool available at a hotel many travelers actually rarely use the pool while vacationing in Barbados.
Tennis
Tennis enthusiasts will be particularly pleased with this hotel. More than likely, you won't have any problems finding an open court, considering that the hotel has 22 rooms and 1 court. This averages out to approximately 53 guests sharing each tennis court, which is a favorable ratio, compared to most other hotels in the region. The hotel offers the option of playing on a lit court, so you can play into the evening hours. This is ideal for vacationers who want to spend their day pursuing other activities.
If you are looking for some other choices that are good for tennis, investigate Sandy Lane and Sam Lord's Castle Resort. These hotels have some of the best tennis amenities in the area, so you might want to weigh those options against this hotel before making a final decision.
Golf
Even though there isn't a golf course at the Divi Heritage Beach Resort, if you'd like to play some golf during your vacation, the hotel can assist with reservations at one of the local courses. The nearest golf course to the Divi Heritage Beach Resort is Rockley Golf Course, located 0.7 miles northwest of the hotel. This is a par 70, with a total length of 5,610 yards. The standard greens fees for using this course are as follows: $92.00 (2 times around 9 hole course). For more information, you can reach the course at 246-435-7873.
Watersports
Though you won't find watersports on site at this hotel, you can look for vendors along the shores of Barbados. With a few phone calls, travelers can schedule a sports activity using equipment and services offered by one of these providers.
Family Activities
Although families are certainly welcome at the Divi Heritage Beach Resort, you should keep in mind that this hotel doesn't offer very many family-oriented amenities. Since there aren't very many kids' amenities at the hotel, guests who will be vacationing with children should focus on their top priorities and evaluate some other options before making a final decision. In fact, you should also check out our list of hotels that are rated best for family vacations.
Entertainment and Nightlife
Tourists who are seeking a holiday filled with exciting nightlife and live entertainment may want to consider some other options.
