The nearby Barbados Gold Club is an 18-hole course with preferential tee times and partner discounts. A boutique in the lobby sells clothing, swimsuits, souvenirs, beach reads, and straw hats. The on-site spa offers manicures/pedicures, beauty treatments, salon services, and a variety of massage treatments (including in-room couples’ massages). An indoor kids' club (dubbed Adventureland) and a playground with a trampoline and swings provide further amusement for children. There are also a decent-sized fitness center, an outdoor tennis court, and a game room with pool table, air-hockey, and table tennis. If the water is too choppy for swimming, there are three pools (and one poolside bar) that should distract quite nicely: an adult-only pool with a swim-up bar, a lap pool, and a lagoon-style pool with waterfalls. The teal water is generally calm (Maxwell Beach is sheltered by two breakwaters), and the resort uses a flag system to indicate changing sea conditions. Here are loungers, palapas, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks, all free to use (other water sports are available for rent).
Bougainvillea sits on Maxwell Beach - a beautiful, remarkably clean stretch of white sand.
