The 10 Amenities South Point Has Covered (So You Can Pack Less)

Looking for a quick answer? Here are the top amenities that let you trim your packing list without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

1) Complimentary Wi‑Fi (Rooms + Public Areas)

Stay connected with free, high‑speed Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel. That means no need to pack hotspot devices or worry about roaming data while you plan your next outing.

2) Pool and Beach Towels Provided

Fresh towels are placed on pool sun‑loungers, and additional towels can be collected at reception for beach use. Skip packing bulky towels and save suitcase space for souvenirs.

3) Kitchenettes in Every Suite

Every suite includes a kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, coffee maker, and basic crockery—ideal for light meals and beverages. Pack fewer utensils and leave travel kettles and camp mugs at home.

4) In‑Room Dining Service

Prefer a quiet morning or a cozy night in? Order restaurant‑quality meals delivered to your suite. No need to bring snacks for every meal—enjoy convenient dining without stepping out.

5) On‑Site Dining and Drinks at Driftwood Restaurant & Bar

Dine on beautifully prepared dishes and sip expertly curated cocktails without leaving the property. Continental breakfast is available daily for an additional fee, and Happy Hour runs Friday–Sunday, 4–6 PM, with buy‑one‑get‑one‑free cocktails. That’s one less reason to pack picnic gear or barware.

6) Saltwater Pool with Loungers, Umbrellas, and a Poolside Bar

Make the most of a restorative saltwater swim with sun loungers and umbrellas at the ready—plus beverages from the dedicated poolside bar. No need to bring portable shade or extra pool accessories.

7) On‑Site Grocery/Convenience Store

Forgot an everyday essential? The property’s grocery/convenience store has you covered for basics and quick bites. Pack lighter knowing you can top up on the go.

8) On‑Site Dry‑Cleaning Services

Travel with fewer outfits and refresh them as needed. On‑site dry cleaning helps you extend your wardrobe without packing your entire closet.

9) Family‑Friendly Perks: Highchairs, Art Supplies, and Childcare

Families can streamline packing thanks to highchairs and art supplies available for little travelers. Supervised childcare is complimentary, and babysitting is offered for a surcharge—making it easier to plan a date night at Driftwood.

Arrive stress‑free: a one‑way airport transfer is available for USD $40 for 1–4 persons when arranged directly with South Point Hotel. The property is less than 10 km from Grantley Adams International Airport (roughly a 15‑minute drive). Contact the hotel at least 24 hours before arrival to schedule your pick‑up.
