Beaches and Business in the Eastern Caribbean

by kbvespa , Feb 18 '09
Pros: Good mix of sand, surf, tourist attractions, and action.
Cons: More crowded than other resort islands; bad traffic and confusing roads.
I have a business connection to Barbados, and have been there 2 to 4 times a year over the last ten years.  So, I thought I'd write a travel review from my perspective as a frequent visitor, but not really a tourist.The ...

An Island Beauty

by angeladok , Jun 22 '08
Pros: A wonderful island with many surprises.
Cons: None.
The best way to see Barbados is like a native. A four hour trip from Miami, Florida, its worth the time. First you will arrive and be surprised the you will have to walk down the stairs of your plane, but you walk into a beautiful fairly new airport. ...

by DGodesky , Feb 24 '08
Pros: Reasonable prices, clean, well maintained and great water sports for free.

Sea breeze hotel, Oistens, Barbados

by castaway2006 , Jun 28 '06
Pros: Lovely sea and sand. Good food
Cons: Disappointing overall. Don't expect 4* unless the new changes have radically altered it.
We stayed here for 1 week in Jan 2004. It was 4* Allocation on arrival holiday with Airtours (as was before they disappeared). The chances were we could be allocated Almond beach, which looked great and we hoped we wouldn't get stuck with the 'Sea ...

by rxtosew , Nov 02 '04
Pros: Good weather, lovely breezes, neat shopping; wonderful, friendly, courteous people.
Cons: The roads narrow and not well marked (NO signs), easy to get lost

Our Home away from home

by barbados , Jul 05 '04
Pros: Lots to do! Friendly people. A lovely, diverse island.
Cons: Expensive. Bridgetown proper seems dirty to some.
For the last 13 years we’ve spent the North American winters in Barbados. Flying in to Grantley Adams airport one is treated with a view of paradise that awaits. Barbados has a population of almost 280,000 people. About 80% of Barbados’ ...

Barbados, Grenada & Carriacou

by splodge , Apr 10 '04
Pros: The weather, the beaches & sea, the food and everything about Carriacou.
Cons: The cost of food and accommodation, although better value on Carriacou.
My boyfriend and I traveled to the Caribbean on 9th March 2004 for three weeks. The plan was to try and “backpack” to save cost and ensure we found accommodation we were happy with in a place we wanted to be, rather than what you’d get with ...

A holiday for the girls!

by pipw , Dec 23 '03
Pros: A great place for a girly holiday but actually it caters for everyone
Cons: Apparently drugs and violence but we didn't see any
In mid November we had the best holiday in Barbados and for £400 flight and accommodation (take a look at www.hotfootholidays.com). We stayed in Yellow Bird Hotel in St Lawrence Gap with a view of a stunning bay and just a stroll into The Gap with all ...

Barbados

Pros: The weather, the hotel, the guided tours, the water, the beaches, the landscape
Cons: Expensive restaurants, harassing salesmen on the beaches
We traveled May 2003 and stayed at the Blue Horizon Hotel. Another reviewer here also stayed there, but I have a different opinion than his about the hotel. We felt the staff there was quite friendly and helpful. In fact, the hotel was one of the best...

Barbados! Cheap Spices and Beautiful Beaches

by remnjava Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 22 '02
Pros: PLENTY of taxis available. CHEAP spices! BEAUTIFUL beaches!
Cons: A little too developed.
"HEY! Do you want a tour?" "Here! Let me take you on a tour!" No, thanks, we just want a ride into town which can be had for $1-2. Cab drivers were almost tripping over themselves to get your attention to take you on a tour.
