Barbados

BARBADOS🌞

Barbados is my FAVORITE Caribbean island for so many reasons; the food, the beach, the people and the list goes on!

In Summer 2014 and Spring 2016, I traveled to Barbados.

I did not do the all-inclusive option as it was very expensive like the Bahamas.

Both times, I stayed 5 days in the St Lawrence Gap (tourist area).

Hotels: Rostrevor Hotel and Divi Southwinds Beach Resort both 4 stars

Highlights: Most evenings, I ate at the “Oistins Fish Fry” (a family member took me or I took the city bus). Also in the evening , the “Gap” is LIVE! There are people that sell street food and the burgers were the best I have ever tasted LOL.

I also tried a few of the restaurants in the “Gap” but honestly did not find the food to be very tasty and it was expensive as it is the tourist area. I will say that if you get a chance to visit you definitely have to try “Chefette” which is what I would consider the McDonalds of Barbados but BETTER!

Food 10/10 – Because of Oistins Fish Fry and Chefette.

Recommendations: Make sure to check out airline deals a few months in advance as the prices do drop every so often. Both times I paid roughly 350$ round trip from Toronto, ON. Barbados is an incredible island and the views are phenomenal ! If you want to take in all the sights and sounds I would recommend that you rent a car for a day or two to see the entire island.

Pros: Accra Beach and Miami Beach are both beautiful -Accra beach is across the street from Chefette.

Bajan people are very friendly and I love their accents!

The seafood is delicious and fresh!

The St Lawrence Gap is live at night Hal's Carpark Bar is so fun!! It’s an outside bar/car park with live music. There are also other bars.

Oistins Fish Fry usually has great entertainment as well.

Let's not forget it is Rihanna's home - YASSS QUEEN😍

Cons: Restaurants in the St Lawrence Gap are expensive.
