Abandoned Luxury Holiday Resort - The K Club Barbuda - Urban Exploration

We visited Barbuda in February 2014 during a sailing trip. The K Club used to be a multimillion luxury holiday resort for the chosen ones. Lady Diana with both princes used to come here for holiday. Most of the Club is still intact, no signs of vanadlism visible. This is probably due to the fact that Barbuda is only visited by sailors and that not by many as the Island lies pretty off track the usual sailing routes in the Carribean. The resort is easily accessible from the beautiful Lady Diana Beach - there is no security patrolling. In more than 48 hours we spent in Barbuda we have only seen 4-5 sailing boats visiting the island ( at least where we anchored ) The resort is abandoned for 11 years but the website is still in use:
UPDATE 2015 - seems like Robert de Niro himself bought the property in order to reopen th eclub in the future! Great news!

Indigenous Names of the Caribbean Islands

The Caribbean islands was inhabited by the Amerindians for some 4000 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. Therefore, of course, they had their own names for the islands.

There were 2 distinct groups.
1) The Arawak’s – Also known as Taino.
2) The Caribs – Also known as the Kalinago

Cuba – Some authors think it was names after the town of Cuba in the Beja in Portugal, but I am almost sure it is a derivation of the indigenous name, Cubao, its way to close for it to be a coincidence. Although the meaning is not sure Cubao may be translated to “Where the fertile land is abundant”.

Jamaica – This one is easy because I think most persons know that the indigenous name for Jamaica is Xaymaca, which of course, Jamaica is derived from. The meaning of Xaymaca is “land of wood and water or land of Springs”

Hispaniola – for those that don’t know, Hispaniola is the name if the whole Island that includes the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. So, the original names might have been Ayiti or Kiskeya, Ayiti of course became Haiti. Ayiti means rough earth or mountainous land. Kiskeya means Mother of all lands.

Puerto Rico – Which means rich Port in Spanish. Indengous name was Boriken which itself means “land of the Valiant and noble Lord”.

Anguilla – which means eel is some form of early Spanish was named Malliouhana by the Taino natives it means Arrow Shaped Sea Serpent because of its shape.

St. Martin – This refers to the entire island, not the different parts as you know St. Martin is shared by the Netherlands and French. The island is named after Saint Martin of Tours because Christopher Columbus named on St. Martin’s Day. 11 November. The original indigenous names where Soualiga or Oualichi which means “land of Salt”.

St. Kitts – Which has a formal name of Saint Christopher Island, Ingenious name was Liamuiga which means “fertile land”

Nevis – Which is derived for the Spanish phrase “Nuestra Senora d las Nieves” meaning Our lady of the Snow”. The Carib name was Oualie, meaning “land of beautiful waters”.

Montserrat – named after the Virgin of Montserrat of Montserrat mountain near Barcelona in Catalonia in Spain. Its Carib name is Alliouagana, which means “land of prickly Bush”.

Barbuda – Which most lightly means “bearded” original Carib name was Wa’omoni meaning “land of Herons or Large birds”

Antigua – ancient in Spanish – original indigenous name is Waladi which mean “land of Fish Oil”

Guadeloupe – named after the Virgin Mary, venerated in the Spanish town of Guadalupe. With the indigenous name being Karuhera. Means “island of beautiful water”

Dominica – named after the Latin word for Sunday after the day Christopher Columbus spotted the island. The Caribs named it Wai'tukubuli which means “Tall as Her Body”

Martinique – The name evolved from the original name giving to it Martinica to Madinina Which mean “island of flowers”. There are claims that Madinina is the Carib name of the island but there is evidence it was also called Jouanacaëra meaning ‘the island of Iguanas

St. Lucia – names after Saint Lucy of Syracuse. The Carib name was Hewanorra meaning “land of the Iguanas

St. Vincent – so named because it is said Columbo “discovered” it on 22 January, the feast day of Saint Vincent of Saragossa. The Carib name is Hairouna meaning “land of the blessed.”

Grenada – Not totally sure the original of name Grenada, one theory is it names after the town of Granada in Spain. The indigenous name is Chamerhogue, but I could not find the meaning of this word.

Barbados – Derived from the Spanish word Los Barbados, meaning “the bearded ones”. The indigenous name is Ichirouganaim with possible translations meaning Red land with white teeth” or just “teeth” about the coral Reefs.

Tobago – Which has no other recorded name other than that of Tobago which means tobacco pipe. It can be indigenous as the word for Tobacco has roots in native Taino/Carib languages.

Trinidad – So named because the full Spanish name was “Isla de la Trinidad” which means the island of the Trinity”. The original Indigenous name was said to be Iëre meaning “land of the Hummingbird” but it has been accepted that that was a corruption of the Awarak work Kairi which mean simple “island”.

Pineapple Beach Club Antigua resort tour

Our first time back following the June 2016 sale by Sandals to Elite Island resorts in Feb/Mar 2017. The resort has been renamed from The Grand Pineapple to the Pineapple Beach club. Not too many changes, some nice improvements but nothing drastic. It is still a slice of heaven and absolutely the friendliest people.

A walk through tour of the Pineapple Beach Club resort in Antigua filmed using my GoPro Hero 4.

After passing through security the road leads down to the hotel. On the left is the Pineapple Grill a la carte restaurant, open four nights a week and converts over to a disco on Thursdays.

Next is the hotel's reception with beautiful gardens that stretch around in front of some of the accommodation.

Continuing past the shop and tortoise enclosure you can see more of the gardens before arriving at the bar/lounge. The evening entertainment is usually performed on the stage.

Next up is the activities centre, snack bar and large pool. Some rooms look over this area with rooms in the high floors having a view of the sea and more of the beach. Suites are coming soon in a newly renovated building. (March 2017)

Coming back through the bar towards the beach, follow the path behind the waterfront rooms to find (Miss Mary's) The Outhouse. This is a must for lunch. Sophia makes a mean rib too.

This is the end of beach with views along the length. It is clearly well located for the bar.

I walk back through the lounge towards the dining area. The dining area to the left is Topaz and on the right after the buffet area is Chef Pietro. Chef Pietro is an Italian themed A La Carte restaurant and open 3 nights/week. The buffet area is on the right first.

The quiet pool (no music played here, only at the larger pool) is opposite Chef Pietro dining area and is close to the day bar, The Aqua Bar.

Coming on to the pristine sand of the beach. There are plenty of loungers located on this idyllic beach. The shore is protected by a reef that is perfect for snorkeling and holds plenty of fish. The waves are never that big, the other side of the reef can be different.

Beachfront accommodation surrounds the beach with the garden and Garden View rooms in the background.

There's a beach volleyball court and the water sports centre at the end of the hotel's beach. There are three Hobie Cat's with a larger one promised for rides. Talk to the water sports team who will gladly take you for a sail. Walk along the rest of the beach at Long Bay for opportunities to see more fish in the turquoise ocean or do some shopping at the vendors mall.

Not shown are the tennis courts behind reception. The views from the Outhouse (formerly Miss Mary's) would make it worth the climb alone, only the food is great too.

This was filmed on a day when England played a cricket ODI against the West Indies at the nearby Sir Viv Richards cricket ground, it was spectacularly quiet as a result as a result. It isn't normally like that.
