Have you made a Will?

The Cliff is absolutely stunning, where abouts are you staying? might help with restaurant advice, you'll love it though, great place!

[Jasandjules]

Take suntan lotion, and a brolly....

Lunch @ Sandy lane

Or if you like pushing the boat out

Dinner @ Sandy Lane

[rude-boy]

You might want to make a trip out to the Malibu Factory. If you do don't get confused between the 'rasta boys' and the other's running the wave runner franchises on the beach there. My mate and I did and nearly started a full scale war. Glad we sided with the rasta boys though, the rest of the afternoon was most chilled

Don't forget the beaches are all public, watch out for the lucky lucky men

[Tuska]

Take your license and hire a mini-moke. Best way to see the island.
Go over to the wild east coast and watch the surfers.
See the plantations.
Goto 'Lone Star', another great resturant.
Also, all beaches are public beaches and not allowed to be private, so take a walk along the coast in front of 'Sandy Lane' and do some celeb spotting. (keeps the missus happy)
Play golf at the Royal Westmorland.
Take a speedboat trip to see the turtles and do some snorkeling.
Buy some Alovera in a whiskey bottle from a beach trader. (great for sun drenched skin)
Find out it smells like BO and throw it away.
Goto see a game of cricket in Bridgetown.
Take US dollars, dont worry about barbados dollars, you wont need any.
Have fun.

I don't know if its still there but there was a great bar in Bridgetown called the Harbor Lights (yes that's how its spelt) All you could drink for $15US.

massively overrated. We've stayed there. Never again. The other restaurants are much better and have the same wines at lower mark-ups.

[Zod]

You did well to get the Cliff at such short notice.

Try Calabaza and Tides as well.

[BoozyHughesy]

Champers is a nice relaxed restaurant too, lovely cocktails downstairs

[Fittster]

Woah! You're Going to Barbados

Rubbish record but it makes me smile.

Was there yesterday!

There were NO hurricanes.


Recommend the Sandpiper hotel and Sandy Lane restaurant.

Lovely island.

Only downside is the number of Brit tourists there, bit like Knightsbridge-on-Carribean.

[scoobykev15]

go to the mount gay distillery just outside bridgetown to buy your duty free rum.firewater!

[munky]

The Cliff is very good, as are Lone Star, Carambola, The Tides, La Mer, Il Tempio, Calabaza and Daphne's. THere are also some great informal places dotted about, we went to some hidden away place called The Garden, run by a family.. was a night they don't normally open but they opened just for us. The mid west coast (the St James and St Peter areas) is where the best restaurants are, generally. On the more rugged East Coast there's a great (informal) place called the Round House as far as I recall.
Sandy Lane is an expensive hotel but the restaurant isn't highly rated so didn't try it

[cloggy]

Go to 'Grooteboers' in St James for cheap dinner and drinks and say hello to my half scouse/Dutchman friend Hans for me.

Hiya

I hope you have a nice time, despite the possibility of adverse weather......

I can recommend "Blue Rare" in Holetown (T: 246-432-6557), if you want the best steak in the West Indies!! Speak to Paoula (owner) and she will really look after you!! (Say Scott and Leyla say Hi too!!!!!)

Also "The fishpot" restaurant is great for a romantic meal overlooking the sea at sunset and beyond. Great menu and excellent service. It is owned by a chap (Andrew?) who owns runs the delightful Little Good Harbour Hotel over the road. http://www.littlegoodharbourbarbados.com/restauran... T: 246-439-2604

Bookings were essential for both when we were there!!!!
