Wyndham Grand is taking reservations now for its newest resort, the 422-room all-inclusive Wyndham Grand Barbados, Sam Lord’s Castle Resort & Spa. The secluded oceanfront hotel marks Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ entrance into Barbados and will begin welcoming its first guests beginning Oct. 12 with select amenities, followed by a formal grand opening in early 2024.
