The main building is almost 200 years old, and is beautifully complemented by the Plantation House, an ultra modern extension built in typically tropical architecture. Both buildings together hold 98 of the most luxurious rooms on the south coast. Further facilities include a lobby, a 24-hour reception, a safe, lift access, 2 bars, a restaurant and a theatre. Conference facilities are also available and, for a fee, it is possible to use the public Internet access and laundry service. Parking facilities are offered to those arriving by car.

The hotel is situated directly by Rockley sandy beach on the south coast of Barbados, only around 10 minutes from the city centre of Bridgetown and a 25-minute drive from the international airport.
