Fun In the sun , where to go & what to do

  • A really stylish romantic getaway on the West Coast of Barbados away from the crowds, and perfect for a Barbados Honeymoon.

    Imagine a Barbados Luxury Hotel perfect for a Barbados Honeymoon or a romantic getaway, on the west coast, yet quiet and peaceful, apparently far away from the jet skis, the glamorous yachts, and the throngs of pleasure seeking holidaymakers, and worst of all the beach hawkers. Little Good Harbour is such a place, and it gives you a chance to see what the local way of life is like on Barbados, and at the same time what it gives you is what you need, and that is a quiet place for relaxation and yet luxurious.

    Go to Little Good Harbour, and stay in one of the very tastefully decorated one bedroom garden cottages right beside the lovely swimming pool, and the historical Fort Rupert.

    What you will get is a downstairs with a verandah, a very comfortable lounge, a fitted kitchen, and conveniences like a CD Player. A kitchen may not be what you want if this is where you have chosen to spend your Barbados Honeymoon, but imagine buying an absolutely straight from the water fish from the local market in the romantic fishing village of Sherman’s, only a couple of steps away, and impressing your new spouse with your cooking skills on one evening. This could really be very romantic. Mind you there is no real need to do that with the absolutely top class restaurant only across the road called The Fish Pot which serves food that even Michael Winner approves of!! It is no surprise to find that the Fish Pot is rated by many as the best restaurant on Barbados, and to be able to sit and hear the sound of the waves makes a perfect end to a day especially if this is your choice for a Barbados Honeymoon

    Upstairs in your cottage you’ll find an Emperor sized four poster bed, and an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs also has the balcony with the view, absolutely ideal for coffee in the dressing gown before facing yet another day in paradise. This is just perfect for a romantic getaway, with only 21 rooms in this all suite hotel. It is significant that the numbers of guests who return to this little corner of paradise is very large indeed.

    The little things make a whole lot of difference. A few miles down the coast your sojourn on the beach would be disturbed by the roar of jet skis, and the persistence of the hawkers, whereas here at Little Good harbour it is just the occasional noise of the passing car that will disturb your reverie. There are lovely comfortable gazebos to relax in, and the pool is just an oasis of calm and tranquillity.

    All in all Little Good Harbour is still a well kept secret, and is without a doubt at all a place with fantastic accommodation set in lush and lovely gardens. It has a very laid back luxurious feel to it, and would be a good choice as a Barbados Luxury Hotel for a couple celebrating an anniversary, or better still a romantic getaway Barbados Honeymoon.

    The Internet gives you easy access to so much information that you can become overloaded. When traveling this is definitely the case. Friends and fellow travelers tell you to book your trip on line yourself – you’ll save hundreds of dollars. But is that really the case? Will you be able to access the best and lowest deals? Isn’t it quicker and cheaper to do it all yourself? Maybe – maybe not.

     

    Beware the discount web site. Don’t book on the first deal you see. It may claim to be the lowest fare, but you won’t know until you look around and surfing the web for the best price may take quite a while and time is money.

     

    Research of web sites stating they will give you best deal shows up many times as an incorrect claim. Many big travel web sites pay homage to their sponsors and advertisers, by showing their ‘deals’ only. In the airline industry, a number of small carriers are ignored and they may well offer the best deal for you, but you won’t know if their information isn’t displayed.

     

    Prices of air flights differ wildly on the Internet. Try it and see. Go to a number of travel sites and look for fares to Sydney, Australia. See what you get. And this is what you need to do when booking your travel through the web. It might then be worthwhile to see what a travel agent can get for you. Yes they do have a booking fee imposed on your tickets but, did you know that many of the best budget deals are not available on the web? Specific web sites are only accessible to travel agents.  UNTIL NOW!  STUART S. TRAVEL is a full service on-line travel agency.

     

    Remember that air fare prices change many, many times a day. It is going to be impossible to find the best deal. You need to be smart and organized and willing to spend a bit of time researching the best deal for you. Once you think you’ve found a great travel deal, remember to read the details to see if there are any restrictions. Will you be able to change your flight details? If so will it cost you? And how much? Those kinds of details. Things can change and your travel plans sometimes need to be flexible so make sure you know what it‘s going to cost you if you have to alter anything.

     

    So if you are going to book your travel through the Internet remember these points: shop around and compare prices; be prepared to be flexible; ask questions; don’t believe everything you read on the websites; read the fine print; give yourself plenty of time to find the best deal and; if in doubt, don’t book it. 

     

    If it all seems too confusing (which many web sites aim to be), go to your local on-line travel agent and see what deals they can do for you.

  • Welcome to The Barbados Blog, a Blog all about life in Barbados through the eyes of me, Garry Wynters, an expat 38 year old Scotsman. I’m a rat race escapee seeking a change of scene and a more laid back sort of lifestyle.

    Barbados is very much my new home and I plan on sharing with the world what makes this Caribbean Island such a unique country and a great place to live in. I’m most definitely here for the long term, I have spent about £3500 to get here on my flight, container and import duties for my belongings. So there is no way I’m going to be leaving Barbados in the near future.

    Through The Barbados Blog I will be sharing with the world my experiences both good and bad about my adventures and experiences on the Island. The aim of this Blog is to provide, anybody that is interested or planning on visiting Barbados a thorough insight into what Barbados is all about and what it has to offer.

    In due course I plan on The Barbados Blog becoming the number one resource relating to Barbados, for people thinking about moving here full time and for tourists alike. This Blog will be much more than just the ramblings of Garry Wynters.

    As I get more settled into life in Barbados, I plan on visiting all the tourist attractions, I will visit every beach that the island has to offer, I will take in as many good bars, rum shops and restaurants as I can, which will obviously be mainly in the name of research, I will also be discussing what it is like to actually live and work in Barbados.

    What I will be offering is an honest viewpoint regarding Barbados, so if I feel something deserves to be praised, I will do so, and likewise if something is worthy of my wrath it most certainly will receive it. The Barbados Blog welcomes comments and input from readers of this site, so if you feel you have something worthy to say, lets here it.

    If you want to find out if Barbados really is a paradise like Island, read The Barbados Blog on a regular basis and you will find out.

    I?m Garry Wynters ?The Wandering Scotsman now living in Barbados and documenting my adventures via my blogs, http://thebarbadosblog.com and http://barbadosphotoblog.com


    I?m also a director of two businesses in Barbados called http://awakenparadisepropertyconsultants.com and http://celebrationscaribee.com
