The Sandpiper is the smaller, quieter counterpart to Coral Reef Club, sharing the same ownership and the same attentive style of service. Around fifty suites sit in dense tropical planting a few steps from a sheltered stretch of beach just north of Holetown.
The tree-house suites and larger villa suites are the ones to book, with private plunge pools and outdoor living space screened by foliage. Interiors are light and unfussy, favouring pale wood and rattan over anything more decorative.
The Restaurant at The Sandpiper has a reputation beyond the hotel's own guests, and the beach bar is a pleasant place to lose an afternoon. It suits couples and small families who want the west coast without the scale of the bigger resorts.
