Polly Gould, an expert in selling Barbados holidays, was wowed by the new Royalton Vessence Barbados 

Living between the UK and Barbados, I am fortunate to really understand, and regularly experience, the beauty, warmth and character of this incredible island.

I’ve stayed in most of the island’s hotels and I know that it takes something genuinely new and special to stand out. I can honestly say my visit to Royalton Vessence Barbados has done just that.

Running Barbados Inspired means I spend much of my working life sharing this island with my UK clientele, so when I was named one of the winners of Royalton’s September Barbados campaign, I jumped at the chance to spend a few days on property with Royalton market manager Paulina Grzelka.
