Hotels in Barbados

An aerial view of Barbados’ and its 97 km coastline is enough to lure you for a secluded spot of snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, surfing, strolling or even sunbathing. But then it has other attractions as well, all of which together make tourism a big business in Barbados. Even the locals are friendly and obliging which adds to the feeling of being welcome.

It is a small and quaint island, perhaps the smallest of the east Carribean islands. Besides the exotic beaches, Barbados also has an old world English charm about it. There are Anglican churches, like the St. James Church, which give the island that distinct character. Then you will also see some very old portraits of English aristocracy. Some of its major tourist attractions are Bridgetown harbour, Carlisle Bay, Sam Lord’s Castle, Folkestone Park, Holetown a town that dates back to the 1600s. The streets around Bridgetown, for that matter all over Barbados, are wide and you would find rum shops scattered in the area. Bridgetown is the island’s only natural harbour. Sam Lord’s Castle built from limestone echoes with legends about his adventures. The legend goes that he harboured here in order to lure ships onto Cobbler’s Reef and then later steal their cargo. The castle still retains an array of paintings and furnishings from Sam Lord’s time.

Guests could also take in a museum of a different kind on the marine. This one has fishing and ship building exhibits.
