Cheap Barbados Holidays
Affectionately known as 'Little England' Barbados is a surprisingly diverse island with beautiful beaches, stunning natural beauty and a very warm welcoming culture. If you are looking for cheap Caribbean holidays why not consider Barbados.
Best Beaches in Barbados: There are beaches everywhere. Along the East coast they are wide and wind-blown. Here the shore is pounded by the Atlantic making it a delight for the surfers who come from all over the world. On the calmer South and West coasts, you may walk for miles along unbroken white sand beaches, sometimes stopping at a cluster of coral rocks jutting out to sea.
Things to do: Go sailing on a catamaran, Play a round of Golf, visit Barbados Wildlife Reserve, take a rum tour and discover how Barbados rum is made and for the adventurous take a surfing learning course. You will be spoilt for choice.
Accommodation: We highly recommend Accra Beach is one of the nicest beaches along the South Coast of the island. This beach is also known as Rockley Beach and is located in the Rockley area of Christ Church. As if being located on an amazing white sandy beach in Barbados isn't enough, Accra Beach Hotel is in the best location.
Getting around: Barbados doesn't have any car-rental agents affiliated with major international rental chains. There are, instead, scores of independent car-rental companies, some so small that they are based out of private homes. So hiring a car might prove difficult. Good news is it's possible to get to virtually any place on the island by public bus.
Weather: Year round Barbados has days and days of glorious weather. Bridgetown is reliably hot with almost no variation in temperature. It hovers just below 30C in the peak of the day and sidles down to the mid 20s at night. Seasons are defined by rainfall and humidity. The dry season, from December till May, can still see some rain but is, for the most part, dry and sunny. Rain falls in short storms that quickly give way to clear skies. The average high temperature stays around 28C which is kept bearable by relatively low humidity.
