School Site Tours

Inspiring the next generation is key to sustaining the tourism industry. Through educational tours, the resort seeks to tackle this challenge. These tours are the perfect opportunity for students to witness first hand what a day in the life of hospitality professionals is like. The industry is vast, and this eye-opening experience inspires the young students to plan for their future careers as they can see real and relatable Barbadians doing the jobs they hope to one day.

Book Donations

We’ve connected with neighboring schools to donate over 100 story books and reference materials to expand the imaginations of students. We also continue to partner with local charity, ‘The Variety Club Barbados’, which provides school uniforms, books, backpacks, and school supplies to over 300 children from 200 families across Barbados.

As part of the ‘Pack for A Purpose’ initiative, guests are encouraged to use extra space in their luggage to travel with school supplies which are then donated to this charity.
