For CPL Fan Stay guests travelling as a group, these shared experiences turn a cricket trip into a full island getaway, together.

Your Experience at the Resort - The Fan Zone
Cricket season does not pause when the tournament moves off island. Throughout the CPL, catch every match live at Lantern Bar and Sam Lord's Grill, where big screens, cold drinks, and a crowd of fellow fans keep the energy going from first ball to last. For evening fixtures, settle in at Burnt Cask Rum Bar for a rum flight and a front row seat to the action in our adults only lounge.
Whether Barbados is playing or you are cheering on a favorite from another island, the Fan Zone brings the tournament to you, every match, every day, right on property.
