Why Barbados?
|
Barbados, the easternmost island of the Caribbean's Lesser Antilles, is a coral island formed in pre-historic times by erupting volcanoes. All that activity has left modern-day visitors a 21-mile-long playground for beachgoers, scuba divers, snorkelers, golfers, fishing enthusiasts and just about anyone seeking fun. You can even go to the horse races if you so desire.
The island is mostly flat. Its rolling hills, deep rifts and gullies provide a scenic home to colorful and interesting plants and wildlife. Its west coast boasts beaches of fine white sand bordering a blue-green Caribbean sea, while the Atlantic Ocean supplies the east coast with waves that inspire surfers and other water sports enthusiasts. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate, with average temperatures between 75 and 85 degrees.
Touring here can be done aboard historic ships, submarines, private sailboats or chartered yachts. Or, you may want to spend more time seeing the island's treasures through a dive mask. Coral reefs fringe the shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and scuba diving amid colorful, undulating sea gardens and bright tropical fish.
Touring on land can be done by rental car, taxi, motorscooter or even on horseback. Although the island's stunning beaches are captivating, you can find many attractions inland as well. Andromeda Gardens in St. Joseph Parish, for example, with its winding paths, ponds and abundance of orchid varieties, trees and other plants is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
In the evening, you may find visiting troupes performing opera and theater, and an annual jazz festival returns every January. Accommodations range from luxurious hotels and villas, to pirates' castles, to apartments with kitchenettes, to modest seaside cottages.
First occupied by the British in 1627, Barbados remained a British colony until internal autonomy was granted in 1961. The island gained full independence in 1966, and maintains ties to the British monarch represented in Barbados by the governor general. The British influence remains intact, however, as evidenced by the afternoon tea served at many hotels on the west coast, in St. James parish, and English is spoken throughout the island.

Barbados champersinc@caribsurf.com 246 434 3464 n 2006, owner Chiryl Newman relocated her popular restaurant and watering hole to an elegant old Bajan home renovated into a beautiful seaside restaurant -- on a quiet lane just off the main South Coast road in Rockley. Luncheon guests -- about 75% local businesspeople -- enjoy repasts such as char-grilled beef salad, Champers fish pie, grilled barracuda, or chicken and mushroom fettuccine napped in a creamy chardonnay sauce. Dinner guests enjoy dishes such as the roasted rack of lamb with spring vegetables and mint-infused jus, the sautéed sea scallops with stir-fried vegetables and noodles with red Thai curry sauce, and the Parmesan-crusted barracuda with whole-grain mustard sauce. The portions are hearty and the food is well seasoned with Caribbean flavors, "just the way the locals like it," says Newman. The cliff-top setting overlooking Accra Beach offers diners a panoramic view of the sea and a relaxing atmosphere for daytime dining. At night, particularly at the bar, there's a definite buzz in the air. Nearly all the artwork gracing the walls is by Barbadian artists and may be purchased through the on-site gallery.
Address: Skeetes Hill, Rockley, Christ Church. Closed Sundays.

Villas on the Beach 205, villa review Visited: May 2012
Posted by
Just returned from a week at Villas on the Beach -stayed in #205...a beautiful Villa, right on the beach. Amazing views...everything was perfect. Lots of room in the Villa, comfortable and well maintained.
The staff was attentive and very helpful. Our maid and chef, Sonia, was such a warm and kind person - she was a joy to be around and made us feel so welcomed.
We would recommend this location. Also the booking experience with Andrew at Where to Stay was perfect! Great service and follow up and we felt well taken care of!

Hibiscus at Merlin Bay, villa review Visited: April 2012
Posted by
We loved our villa—well decorated with interesting art work. The terrace is a good size, nicely situated with a view of the big pool and the Caribbean. We particularly enjoyed the plunge pool, but the best part—Coreen and Margarita. Coreen kept the Villa immaculate and did our laundry and Margarita made us delicious meals. We would stay at Hibiscus again should we return to Barbados.

Glitter Bay 211 Sea Wind, villa review Visited: March 2012
Posted by
Andrew and Where To Stay were very helpful. Condo was older, but nice enough. However, you will be disappointed, as we were, if you are counting on a water view. There is none!! Beach is nice. Staff was friendly. Winnie, the housekeeper, was very nice.
WhereToStay.com Note - Thanks for the review, to clarify the villa is in the Glitter Bay complex right on the beach but this villa does not have a beach view. its pretty clear from the balcony photos. It is however only 50 paces from the sand.

Rossomar Rentals, hotel review Visited: May 2008
Posted by miabella
I stayed here for ten glorious days. I had a very well kept room with a nice bathroom, a TV room, and my own balcony.
I was picked up from the airport and taken to any store or place I needed to go. The whole time I was here they provided transportation to take me anywhere I desired to go, and would go with me if needed to show me around.
The kitchen was wonderful and had everything I could possibly need to use. They treated me like family.
This experience was one I will never forget, and hope to have again. The host, Janice, was the best. She was charming, helpful, and just a delight.

Wemsea Villa, villa review Visited: February 2010
Posted by Evelyn
I can't understand the negative review!
My husband and I stayed at Wemsea with another couple, and loved every minute of it!
Jen and Rosie were very charming and courteous. We felt that they were never really there! The food Jen cooked was excellent, and the service from Rosie was an A+!
We enjoyed going shopping with Jen every day so she could decide which fish and which vegetable to buy. We had fun at the supermarkets, as well as while she was cooking. We chatted and laughed and can only hope that both girls are still working at Wemsea!
We will bring our friends next February. We are certain we will have another good week of fun and laughter with the staff!

Sweetfield Manor Historic Bed and Breakfast, hotel review Visited: February 2012
Posted by spivakfox
We just stayed here for three nights after a cruise on Windstar. We had not been to Barbados since our honeymoon there 25 years ago.
Barbados has prospered since then, and is a great place to vacation. Anyone who goes to Barbados and doesn't stay at Sweetfield Manor is missing out on a really special vacation - for couples, that is.
You wouldn't want to take kids under 16 to this place. Anni and George have made this plantation home into a lovely, welcoming home-away-from-home that is decorated impeccably with the most perfect touches everywhere. Anni's three-course perfect, visually beautiful (have you ever taken pictures of your breakfast before?) breakfasts send you off for your day with a full tummy.
George helps you plan your itinerary and your dinners and makes dinner reservations effortlessly. Their cab driver, Rodney, takes you anywhere with good cheer. The unusual, beautiful pool is a treat. You are not on the beach but you're nearby and there's a bus stop just outside the gates of the place.
Don't hesitate to book Sweetfield Manor now. It's an experience!

Coral Point 2- Dream Away Villa, villa review Visited: January 2012
Posted by
Andrew at WheretoStay.com did an unbelievable job of organizing and answering all of our questions pre-trip.
We had four couples and one baby which had never been to the island before. Andrew was extremely informative and got us ready to go.
Once we got down to the island, the Coral Point villa was spectacular. Private patio and beaches overlooking the Atlantic, how can you go wrong?
The staff, Julia, was so nice and very helpful in getting around the island. Her husband, Anthony also gave us a local's tour of Long Bay and even showed us how to open a coconut island style! It was a great trip for everyone of all ages.
Thanks WheretoStay.com!

Sweetfield Manor Historic Bed and Breakfast, hotel review Visited: January 2012
Posted by Alberta2
We arrived here from Northern Alberta after 23 hours of travel (bad flight connections) and 48 hours without sleep. Our hosts had made the arrangements to get us here from the airport, and after one look at us, sat us on the breezy porch and handed us refreshing rum punch. Their welcome made us feel like we'd just arrived at a dear friend's home.
We crashed into bed without really looking at our surroundings, so when we woke, it took a few minutes to realize that it wasn't a dream!
Our lovely room and large deck overlooked beautiful gardens complete with a delightful pool.
The only negative...How will anywhere else ever measure up to THIS!?

Rose of Sharon is a beautiful villa with a great staff. They keep the villa immaculate, cook great meals and do your laundry every day. We were a hyper bunch of 9 New Yorkers and they handled us perfectly. The beach at Sandy Lane is amazing. We would walk down to the beach in the morning and find our chairs and umbrellas waiting for us. We truly had a wonderful week.

Angler Apartments, hotel review Visited: September 2011
Posted by Samantha_gurl
This place needs to quit showing pictures as if it is directly right off the beach. It is about 100 yards to the beach and across a busy street.
I arrived on a rainy day, and was disappointed when the cab driver told me it wasn't directly on the beach. Her dogs are huge and not on leashes, so they just run up on you. One dog shook his nasty wet fur on me which made me very mad.
I told the owner I wanted to cancel and she said that was fine to just do it online. I said I needed proof, but she just said do it online. She still charged $100 against my card - even though I didn't stay here!
This place will cost you about $80. This experience has left a very poor taste in my mouth. I was so upset with this place that I didn't get to enjoy my stay. I booked a flight out first thing before daybreak the next morning.
The other people of this island seemed great, just don't stay here. I'm going to make sure everyone knows not to choose this place!

Palm Beach Villa 509, villa review Visited: August 2011
Posted by merrilank
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful family vacation at Palm Beach Villa #509 from August 11th - August 21st.
This place was everything it promised - beautiful decor, luxurious bathrooms, clean, bright, airy living space and a wonderfully equipt kitchen.
The beds were super comfortable, with high quality linens, and plenty of extra pillows and blankets.
We had our adult children and grandchildren join us, and everyone had an awesome time. Papa and Grammie were able to play with our adorable twin grandbabies in the pool while their parents walked out and snorkeled right in front of the villas.
The beach was fantastic! There was a little coral reef with beautiful fish. We enjoyed the lovely sunsets, wonderful climate, and friendly neighbors.
When we arrived, we found our villa furnished with pre-arranged groceries, air conditioning, and warm ocean breezes. Whoever prepared for our stay even left some adorable sand toys for the twins! That was very thoughtful. In addition, we were able to rent a crib which was delivered and set up with appropriate linens and blankets.
Everyone really enjoyed gathering on the large balcony for wonderfully prepared fresh fish. The only thing missing was a barbecue.
Housekeeping services were exceptional and anything we needed was just a phone call away. Restaurants and a grocery store were easily accessible.
We absolutely loved our stay, and are so thankful to have found this lovely resort.

Ocean's Edge Villa - Merlin Bay, villa review Visited: July 2011
Posted by
We recently spent a week with two other couples on the beautiful island of Barbados. After doing much research on the Internet, we decided to try Ocean's Edge as it had three bedrooms and three baths and was located on the beach. We could not have been more pleased with our selection.
The villa is one of eight villas located in Merlin Bay. This is a lovely property with a gorgeous beach. Although there are no private beaches in Barbados, this was as close as you could get.
Snorkeling was great right off of the beach as we were able to see a variety of fish and even see beautiful sea turtles, less about 100 yards off the beach.
The villa was even nicer than the pictures indicated. In addition, I can't say enough about the hospitable staff (Jenice and Pam) who took care of us while we here. We enjoyed three delicious meals a day cooked by Pam; and Jenice ensured our clothes were washed, folded and ironed daily and that the place was kept immaculate.
We were definitely spoiled while on vacation! We highly recommend Merlin Bay and Ocean's Edge to anyone visiting Barbados.

Sundown Villa, villa review Visited: June 2011

I was left speechless.
It was one of the cheaper villas. However, it offered first class facilities, staff, and beach; and immaculately maintained surroundings.
I could ramble on for pages! I give it 100% endorsement and recommendation.

Chateau Blanc Apartments On Sea, hotel review Visited: May 2011
Posted by jones1465
I stayed at this location for ten nights beginning 05/27/11. Like most Ma/Pa hotels in this part of the island, it has seen better days. The rooms were huge with decently appointed decorations, plenty of storage space and a full kitchenette with full sized stove/fridge. The location is great for anyone who wants to stay near St. Lawrence Gap or Dover/Worthing beaches. This hotel sits right on Worthing Beach. For the price, it seemed like a steal. However, there were drawbacks.
The maintenance/housekeeping and upkeep could use some improvement, even at this modest price. The office/management staff was less than helpful with any request being generally ignored. (I never got batteries for my remotes. I was told to go and purchase some myself.)
Getting your room cleaned every other day requires an argument with the housekeeper and then the job is only half done. My boyfriend ended up mopping my floor himself!
Now, for the real down part - there is no security at this location whatsoever after 5:00 pm when the receptionist leaves for the day. After that, the guests are on their own. There is no night staff, no security guard/watchman, no emergency contact numbers posted in public areas, no doorbell - nothing!
This building is at the end of a dark alley that dead ends at the beach. There is no one on property to help in case of any type of emergency. If someone gains entry into this building, there is little if anything the guests can do but fight off any attack and hope for the best.
Since the front door requires a pass code, even the police/EMT/Firemen cannot respond to any emergency if you are unable to open the door for them. Yet the pass code is posted on the back of every room door. Therefore, anyone who has ever been in any of the guest rooms has had access to the permanent pass code to gain entrance into this establishment.
If security is not an issue with you, you may enjoy your stay. However, if you are the least bit concerned about your own personal well being and the "what ifs" in life, I would definitely pass this hotel up.
There are plenty other lodging options in the same price range in the area that understand their responsibility to the safety and well-being of their guests and are willing to provide some level of evening/emergency assistance.
I believe the lack of hotel management experience on the part of this property's owner(s) is clearly demonstrated in that they simply do not understand the position they leave their guests in each and every night when they turn off the lights, lock the front door and go home, leaving their guests to fend for themselves until 9:00 a.m. the next morning. Unbelievable. You have been warned!
Room Tip: Go to another hotel.

Beach View #208, villa review Visited: October 2010
Posted by emale73
My fiance and I stayed here for a week and completely enjoyed it.
The rooms were amazing! We had a full kitchen, dining room and a living room area. The place was beautiful, and the staff was readily available to assist with whatever we needed.
It is located by the main road between Speichtown and Bridgetown, so getting around was easy. Some people have complained about the road noise, but I didn't notice it at all.
This place is tucked away so it is easy to miss, but you don't want to miss it.

We would highly recommend Sundown Villa, and even more so their Cook Sonya. She is a fantastic cook! Please pass along our compliments to the owner of the Villa and the property management company. Sonya really enhanced our experience.

Amore at Schooner Bay, villa review Visited: May 2011
Posted by Sharonllr
We loved this two-story villa. The master bed and bath were on the top floor, very nice indeed! It was not located ocean front, but had beautiful forage all around it. It was very peaceful. The pool was just beautiful, and the bay was perfect.
The housekeeping staff was great, too. The management recommends you tip them $30/40 a day, so if you're on a budget you might need to figure that in.
We found a great place for our morning - Latte's the Orange Street Grocer in Speightown. It was just a short walk from the villa. It's a must, with great breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well.

I stayed here with my fiancee and absolutely loved the place and the staff. Everything was top notch and exceeded my expectations.
Anything you want or need, just ask the staff and they'll take care of it. The place is quite peaceful and conveniently located to main north/south road on the west side of the island. The rooms are huge and very well maintained.
