Information on Barbados
A Barbados Briefing
Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.

When you visit Barbados, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean Island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados.
Barbados Expectation
Barbados is a very beautiful island, with lots of art, activities, night life, music, history and some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere. But what makes Barbados even more special, and the reason why so many visitors keep returning to the island year after year, is the people. Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome and special, in this lovely Caribbean Island. You will feel its your home and will want to come back again and again to Barbados: A unique Caribbean paradise, surprisingly sophisticated, friendly, fun and always Naturally Charming!

Some all-inclusive resorts are here including Almond Casuarina which is very near to the night life (St. Lawrence Gap). Included in this is the adult-hotel which is the Club and Spa.

Alternatively there is the Crane Hotel which has one of the top 10 best beaches in the world.
These are some other all-inclusive
Read a little about our nightlife especially in St Lawrence Gap.

You should also take a trip to a popular fishing village (Oistins) on a Friday night where you can get some grill fish, grill potatoes and tartar sauce. Afterward, you can go and see the locals and visitors dancing in the open air to some vintage oldies. This is a sight to behold. There is also craft sold at this location.–Barbados:164:298996

As you have been to DR, Mexico and Bahamas, it’s about time that you grow up and give up the all inclusives. Like you said, the hotel served rot gut liquor and was really run down. You paid for the food, booze and all so you have the felling that you need to stay on the run down resort to get your money’s worth. An all inclusive is great for the first trip overseas, but now venture out and choose your drinking and eating establishments and a club where people actually go. As for where to go, try Negril, Jamaicamon. I personally prefer the cliff side with the day’s being spent on the beach side.

Curacao is an option. Curacao is different because of the European-African-American influences.

Under Hotel/Resorts you find an all inclusive hotel Breezes not too far from Mambo Beach where young people come to chill and dance.

In the Dominican Republic I would recommendd the Barcelo Complex in Bavaro. There are five hotels and only one club so everyone goes there and its Pretty good. Of the five hotels in the complex I would advise the Palace which offers high end drinks and food. I would also suggest another hotel named Flamingo this is also in Bavaro but the club is the best on the east coast MANGU, there you will have locals and tourist.
