Rendezvous

Name: Rendezvous
Rating: 4.5

A beachfront boutique hotel for couples looking to reconnect in an intimate setting.

One of the world’s first boutique hotels dedicated to couples only, Rendezvous is perfect for relaxation, fine dining and fun. Enjoy candlelit dinners and couples’ massages, stick your flag in the sand for beach service or relax in one of the day beds in the beautiful rockery garden by the lazy river.

Enjoy breakfast and lunch buffets at The Terrace Restaurant, which transforms into a romantic candlelit setting for gourmet dinners. Regular themed evenings include a Caribbean night and popular beach barbecue. Head to the Trysting Place for an elegant fine-dining experience, with delicacies including shellfish bisque and herb-crusted red snapper. Malabar, the intimate à la carte restaurant, sits beneath a giant sail, and the lively Champagne Bar has free tastings at the nightly Bubbly Hour.

The rooms feature fine detailing complemented by traditional Caribbean style. As the focus here is on reconnecting with your partner, you won’t find any intrusions such as televisions. Premium Garden View Rooms offer a tranquil setting while the gingerbread-style Beachfront Cottages are located right on the sand. For incredible sea views, choose the spacious split-level Luxury Beachfront Suite.

Kuoni Insider

I went here for my honeymoon and it was an amazing experience. Rendezvous is a fabulous hotel for adults only, where you can do as little or as much as you like. There are daily activities like water aerobics, volleyball, archery, beach games and cocktail making at the pool bar. We had a great time and my husband tried archery for the first time and loved it.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff are friendly and you only have to stick your flag in the sand for service; they even brought us drinks round the pool without even asking. This hotel goes above and beyond. Oh and the food is out of this world. Book the air-conditioned restaurant for fabulous dining.
