Barbados
About Barbados
For an introduction to the Caribbean, Barbados cannot be bettered. In an area of 166 square miles, it offers everything that the discerning holidaymaker might desire. Superb beaches are lapped by the Caribbean Sea - yet many are almost deserted. The South Coast is lively with restaurants, bars and nightclubs: the West Coast is somewhat quieter, although it has some of the finest hotels and restaurants on the Island. The East and North Coasts are rugged and wild with spectacular scenery - a must for the photographer experienced surfer or wildlife enthusiast. This enormous variety of landscape, from tropical gardens and plantation houses to the wild Atlantic Sea at North Point, makes touring the Island a pleasure. All over the Island is green and lush - thus earning the name "Little England".
Barbados has one of the most famous hotels in the Caribbean – The Sandy Lane Hotel, complete with golf course. Other well-known hotels include Royal Pavilion, Coral Reef Club, The Sandpiper and Cobblers Cove.
