Barbados

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. ...

Pros: beautiful beaches, friendly natives, Sam Lord's Castle
Cons: too far to drive there!

Barbados is one of my all-time favorite vacation spots, and I have been to Hawaii, Cancun, Aruba, Key West, so my standards for a good tropical vacation are pretty high!

Okay, it's been many many years since I've been to Barbados so please...

Pros: Great Caribbean destination, Incredibly friendly people
Cons: Looong flight from Miami, can rain sometimes

We stayed at Almond Beach Village, and everyone was great to us. We got a tremendous bargain from Skyauction. The island is beautiful, and the people are very polite and courteous. We rented a car, and had a great time getting lost and seeing the...

Pros: Impeccable weather, fabulous food, culture, world's best rum
Cons: Beggars, crazy drivers

Where to begin...

First and foremost - the postcards don't lie. Barbados is as stunning, both physically and culturally, as the travel brochures and TV ads depict it to be. To fully experience and enjoy bajan life, though, you have to...

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

DH and I just returned from a one week stay in Barbados. We found our apartment on the internet and certainly had a few trepidations about what we might find when we arrived there. We were met at Grantley Adams by the owners of the Rosalie ...

Pros: Beautiful island
Cons: Abusive people, very expensive

The Island
Gorgeous, with plenty of beaches to know and things to do. Surfing, wind surfing, snorkeling, diving, relaxing and drinking beer. Whatever you like, you can do it in Barbados, and no mater what you will find some world class scenery....

Pros: warm weather, enjoyable
Cons: none

Sitting in my personal villa at the Coral Reef Club, a squeak come from a tree. I look up and, behold, I see a monkey staring at me, or rather, my breakfast and banana. I peel the banana and toss it to the ground. The monkey comes up and eats next to...

Pros: sun,sea,sand and ambience
Cons: the prices of goods and services

So i finally saved enough money to go to the west indies!!>>As the plane circled over Grantley Adams International Airport my heart thumped as I saw the aquamarine ocean beneath me.........
Barbados is a beautiful island of 166sq km in the eastern...

Pros: Beaches, Fish, Climate
Cons: Summer humidity, local panhandlers.

I have been to Barbados about 7 times now. We have travelled during the summer and winter months. I can honestly say, you are best to go between November and March. The summer months are brutal. The humidity is a killer. During the winter months,...

Pros: small enough to spend most of your time enjoys every hour of the day
Cons: prices might be a little expensive

I has been my pleasure for almost 17 years. When i left England with my mother in 1967, I was relocated to the beautiful island of Barbados. This small island had been my life for almost 16 years before coming to the USA.
I recommend it anyone who...

Pros: Great Beaches,,snorkeling,the flying fish is delecious!
Cons: The Men are aggressive at times...Everything quite pricey down there..bring plenty of $$$

O.k..Let me preface this review by first stating for the record that I am a single, white female who visited Barbados on my own..
I will say now that I would NEVER advice a single woman to go to Barbados alone...Unless you're comfortable with the leers, the comments,,the street vendors and beach vendors harrasing you on a constant basis..
I'm really sorry to have to write this type of a review,,but I must be honest, and if it will help some other lone female traveler like myself,,,then good.
Barbados has alot of fun beaches, things to do,,and the people in general are very nice and friendly...
I would definitely suggest staying on the west coast though,,,NOT in St.Lawrence Gap(where I stayed)..There's too much "local riff raff" hanging around the area...
West coast is more expensive but you'll get better treatment...and you'll be better off..
All in all,,,Barbados was an interesting place to visit...but I doubt you'd ever get me down there again...
At least not with out an escort!!!

Pros: Beach, restaurants, people.
Cons: Prices, shopping.

We just came back from Barbados and really liked it. We stayed at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion on the west coast. Very nice place. Great beach, good service, friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this resort. The downsides (which applies not just to the hotel) are: expensive food, high taxi prices, not very good shopping. Bring lots of cash for watersports guys on beach if you're into that. Also, if you want to buy liquor for use while on the island expect to pay $35 US and up for 1 bottle. Duty free prices are very good but only if you have them send the bottles to the airport to pick up when you leave. As far as restaurants go definitely try The Cliff (make reservations before you leave U.S.), Calabazza, Calambora, Tides. Average cost for two will run $130 and up U.S.

Pros: beautifu Island, beaches, people,
Cons: Not enough time

On my last trip my husband and I planned on a taxi our last trip but the fare is horrendous. Imagine this for US$65.00 per person we visited Harrison’s Cave, Orchid World, St Johns Church, Bathsheba, Had a great Lunch Visited the Reserve and drove through the West Coast including Holetown . In addition to this our guide from Glory Tours was wonderful and knowledgeable http://glorytours.org http://glorytours.org We fell in love with the Island so much that day we decided to rent a car from Stoutes Car Rental http://www.stoutescar.com/ http://www.stoutescar.com which also proved a wonderful decision.

My husband loves Sporting Clays on arrival my husband was very quick to discover Kendal Sporting

We where very fortunate to meet Richard Bradshaw one of the directors of the Club. He was a great instructor and gave me a thorough education on the correct way to handle a rifle and a pistol. Before this experience I was nervous about rifles and pistols but thanks to my new education from Kendal Sporting I am now alot more confident.
I had a fantastic lunch at the Club It was a wonderful day one of three we spent at the facility.
