Barbados Reviews

A while ago I did a review of simonseeks.com - a new website that allows you to write travel reviews. My review obviously didn't go down too well with the guys at simonseeks, as they never posted it on their website, so I'll post it on here for my 50p... A Beginner's Guide to Barbados ************************** I've just ...  Read the complete review

I first went to Barbados at the grand old age of 3 months, and have been going back there ever since. The airport is of course the first port of call for any visitor, and they've recently decked it out, so it's much nicer than it used to be! Still, expect the heat to hit you like a ton of bricks (tip: wear shorts/skirt on plane, even ...  Read the complete review

Barbados "Little England". Barbados is one of the more expensive Caribbean Islands to visit. But I have to say it's one the safest Caribbean Islands and the locals make you feel so welcome. The island is only 24 miles long, so you can easily see the whole island during your stay. We hired a car, this was fantastic. They drive ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

You've got Malu's travel challenge to thank for this one - it reminded me that I haven't written about Barbados.......yet. I've been to Barbados three times in the past ten years, each time for two weeks holiday. Since it's not the cheapest venue in the world, both to get to, and also to stay in, I guess you could say I must like the ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Having travelled to barbados, I would like to share my now fond memories of a really beautiful place, Sam Lords Castle. We travelled with virgin so the transfer from the airpot to the hotel was free (not sure if this goes for all bookings). Arrived for the start of what was to be a wonderful week of pure heaven, After checking ...  Read the complete review

I visited Baarbados last year for the first time and it was Heavan! Unfortunately, I only had a week in this tropical paradise, which absolutely flew by... now to describe my heaven, as im sure you al want to go there... ...Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the west coast of ...  Read the complete review

Well, a week in Barbados used to be only afforded by the rich and famous, not your average Joe Bloggs on the street, but lo and behold we went, my wife and my two young children. We went with Virgin Atlantic and stayed at the Silver Sands resort on the south coast, which was nicely situated, very quiet and peaceful. The south ...  Read the complete review

Now you are going to have to trust me on this one, I lived in the hot sun and warm sand for over 10 years. Quite simply there is something for everyone. There are the world famous beaches for the "physically challenged" of us who would just prefer to get a tan to make everyone at home jealous. Sit back and relax on Accra beach ...  Read the complete review

I went to Barbados last December, and it was the most relaxing vacation I've ever taken. It stays around 80-85 degrees in December, which is a welcome change from the 40 degrees in New York upon departure. The cab ride from the airport to the resort took about 30 minutes, and the roads are horrible. Don't rent a car. The roads ...  Read the complete review

My first trip to the Caribbean was last September when I spent a week at St Lawrence Gap in Barbados. I went on a British Airways package holiday and stayed at a hotel called Southern Escape that was directly adjacent to a white sandy beach. It all seemed dreamy. Pina coladas by the pool, beach chairs staring at a clear turquoise sea, ...  Read the complete review

One of the perks of being a travel agent is the free trips all over the world and one of mine last year was to Barbados. A group of 7 colleagues were going to test some hotels, posing as a group of friends and secretly rating the quality of service, cleanliness, etc. In five days we had 7 hotels to get through and we started as soon as we ...  Read the complete review

I Visited to Barbados in Feb 2001, peak season, armed with suntan lotion and the Rough guide. Being the more adventurous type I didn't hang around the hotel! I stayed for a week, which was enough to do everything but next time I'd go for longer as we were so busy doing stuff it didn't leave much chill out time on the beach. I went with ...  Read the complete review

Having been to Barbados four times and heading for my fifth, I know exactly what I am going to - HEAVEN! I love the tranquil sea and the postcard beaches. The friendly people make you feel like you belong to the island and that your not just another foreigner. Make sure you tour the island in a mini moke car, this will open your eyes to the ...  Read the complete review

Say "Barbados" and images of swaying palms, crystal clear water, smiling faces and Boogie Buses spring to mind. But what surprised me was you also get Trafalgar Square, English churches and extremely laid back Cricket. Now they may seem odd things to add to the list, but, give me some time and I'll explain... The only time ...  Read the complete review

I've been twice now, and you need at least a couple of weeks there to get adjusted to the way of life and to learn to take things easy. Everyone knows about the great weather and the beaches - which are all publically accessable. But its the people who really make the difference, the Bajans are so friendly and welcoming...and ...  Read the complete review

This place is definitely the biz. Having visited the Caribbean a couple of times and left with mixed feelings (Jamaica - too much hassle and Cuba – nice, but strange) I was very pleasantly surprised to discover a really fine place with outstandingly nice, decent people. I just wish we’d been for longer than a week. First of ...  Read the complete review

On my 6th trip to Barbados I went on a day trip on the Cool Runnings catamaran and boy was it cool! The boat isn't as big as Tiami etc. but that made for a good atmosphere. The crew were excellent, as were the food and drink during the day. The day was as relaxing or up-beat as you wanted. Music was played and drinks were free-flowing ...  Read the complete review

I visited Barbados last May and it is the most wonderful place that i have ever been to. It is well renouned for its beautiful sandy beaches and this is really true. The beaches are beatiful , with hot white sands and warm sea water. The people on the island are really nice and they always greet you as you walk by. I went on a boat trip where ...  Read the complete review
