We were so pleased with the cleanliness of the property as well as the constant maintenance going on daily to keep the resort looking its best.... More

We went here to get married and despite some decidedly unseasonal weather, we had a fabulous time. The setting is great, gym very good but what made the holiday was the staff and the food ! Very friendly staff ( special mention to Safiah at the Sugar Cane and Merica) and delicious food ( hence the need to go to... More

The Tamarind is located on the beach in Paynes Bay. The location couldn't have been better. The hotel was refurbished two years ago, and is now in very good condition. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is very good. The "full board" meal plan is highly recommended. The hotel has complimentary wifi in all guest rooms... More

This was our third visit to Tamarind with our two daughters (aged 2 and 4) and we felt that we couldn't have asked for any more from this holiday. We had a ground floor ocean view suite which, in addition to having the luxury of gorgeous views of the ocean, proved relaxing and practical with the girls in tow as... More
