SET Sports Tours
Every
year, SET Sports Tours organises netball tours to Barbados
in association with the Barbados Netball Association. We
offer the best prices and work with only the best suppliers.
We expect a good number of schools and clubs to attend this
year's event, which takes place during the May half-term,
as well as many local sides, thus creating a great festival
atmosphere. Our programme features a wide range of great
activities and educational excursions, offering terrific
value for money.
Our fantastic venues
Accommodation will be in one of our excellent NetFest hotels. Tourists will stay on a bed and breakfast or half-board basis (as required) and be able to enjoy anything from 2 star villa resort accommodation to 3 star studio hotels with views of the beach. All hotels have air-conditioning or fans, swimming pools and en suite bathrooms.

The hotels…
Barbados NetFest guests will stay in one of our NetFest partner hotels. Example properties are shown below:
Sunset Crest **
The Sunset Crest resort is Barbados' most popular property for visiting sports groups, be they schools or clubs, and many groups ask to return to the same villas year on year.
The pool area, short walk to the Caribbean sea and quiet tranquility of the resort lend a special atmosphere to any visit. All villas are self catering and regularly refurbished to ensure your group enjoys independence and luxury.
With a restaurant and bar on site and a nearby supermarket- you'll find everything you need right on your doorstep!
Coconut Court ***
The Coconut Court resort is located right on the edge of a white sandy Caribbean beach – says it all really! The excellent pool area, spacious rooms, excellent food and friendly staff are all reasons why this hotel is one our most popular.
As with our 2 star option, breakfast is available as a supplement, although with simple kitchenette facilities provided in each room groups can easily make their own!
