Colony Club Hotel Saint James in Saint James, Barbados

General Description:	The colony club hotel is located on seven acres of pristine beachfront on the popular western shore of st. James, barbados island, against the blue waters of the caribbean sea. The colony club is one-half mile from holetown, the historic village and first settlement on barbados. The island's vibrant capital city of bridgetown, referred to locally as "b-town, " boasts shopping and pastime just six miles down the coast. The area features many golf courses and historic sites. The colony club hotel's entrance boasts an open-air reception area flanked by a peaceful koi pond. A freshwater swimming lagoon amidst plants and palms meanders through the property towards the open sea. The ocean waters of the western shore are warm and welcoming for swimming, snorkeling and jet skiing. On the beach, the sunset bar is a popular setting for evening soirees with its rattan furnishings and cabanas upon a redwood boardwalk. After dark, the colony club features live calypso or jazz performances. The laguna restaurant overlooks the lagoon and beach from its open-air dining veranda, and offers fare from hamburgers to pork piccata.
