A wide variety of recreational activities isn't necessarily a requirement for all travelers. While some vacationers would be happier staying at a hotel offering numerous recreational activities, other hotel guests are perfectly content with one or two recreational options, or they simply want a relaxing place to stay. While it doesn't provide a very extensive array of active recreational amenities the Rainbow Reef Beach Hotel may have what everything you really care about.

Water and Fitness

Since the hotel features a swimming pool, guests don't have to go far to relax during a long day of fun in the sun. Although a long afternoon at the pool may be just what you need for a little rest and relaxation, you might also enjoy a refreshing swim before going out for the evening.

Tennis

The hotel doesn't have tennis courts on site for guests to use, so if you're a tennis enthusiast, this may not be the right hotel choice for you. This isn't a big issue for most guests, since there are plenty of other activities available.

If you really have a passion for the game, you might want to compare this hotel to other ones that offer courts – especially those hotels which are the most highly rated for tennis. Some other hotel choices worth considering include Sam Lord's Castle Resort as well as Sandy Lane.

Golf

Although there isn't a golf course at the Rainbow Reef Beach Hotel, if hitting the greens is something you don't want to miss out on, the hotel can help arrange for you to play golf at a local course. The closest golf course is Rockley Golf Course, located 1.6 miles to the west of the Rainbow Reef Beach Hotel. This par 70 course has a total length of 5,610 yards. Greens fees are as follows: $92.00 (2 times around 9 hole course). For more details, the course can be contacted at 246-435-7873.

Watersports

Despite the fact that the hotel doesn't offer watersports, you can visit one of the vendors situated on the shores of Barbados. With a few phone calls, visitors can obtain what is needed from one of these providers.
