The West coast is a lovely place to stay quieter than the South and the beaches are wonderful especially Payne?s Bay Beach. The whole coast is lined with trees :o) The south is mostly cement. 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 where the settlers first landed. In addition to this our guide from Glory Tours was wonderful and knowledgeable http://glorytours.org We fell in love with the Island so much that day we ...

Barbados seems to embody all that I want from a holiday in terms of things to see, do and preferably EAT at the end of a busy day's seeing and doing! ...

Palm trees, crystal seas and endless sunshine is what I, like many others, was expecting from my week in Barbados. The postcard-perfect scenery was certainly there, but the island turned out to offer so much more and left me with a thirst for exploring more of the Caribbean. Armed with plenty of suncream, books to read on the beach and a suitcase full of clothes that rarely see the light of day in the UK, my boyfriend and I set off on the seven-and-a-half hour Virgin Atlantic flight from London Gatwick direct to Bridgetown. Leaving the plane after a pleasant flight the 31-degree heat hit me instantly as I walked down the steps of the plane at Grantley ...
