Barbados is the easternmost Caribbean island. It is considered relatively flat in comparison to its island neighbors to the west in the Windward Islands, the island rises gently to the central highland region, with the highpoint of the country being Mount Hillaby, in the Scotland District. [340 meters (1,100 ft) above sea level]. The island is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, east of the other West Indies isles. The climate is moderate tropical, with a wet season (June-November) and a more dry season (December-May). The island is well developed, and there are internationally known hotels offering world-class accommodation. Time-shares are available, and many of the smaller local hotels and private villas which dot the island have space available if booked in advance. The southern and western coasts of Barbados are popular, with the calm light blue Caribbean Sea and their fine white and pinkish sandy beaches. Along the island's east coast the Atlantic Ocean side are tumbling waves which are perfect for light surfing, but a little bit risky due to under-tow currents.

Shopping districts are popular in Barbados, with ample duty-free shopping. There is also a festive night-life in mainly tourist areas such as the Saint Lawrence Gap. Other attractions include wildlife reserves, jewellery stores, scuba diving, helicopter rides, golf, festivals (the largest being the annual crop over festival July/Aug), sightseeing, cave exploration, exotic drinks and fine clothes shopping.
The Crystal Cove Hotel is one of the island's many all-inclusive resorts but it is worth mentioning because it has one of the most unique pools you will find! Instead of the common, square pool that was poured into the ground at the time of construction the Crystal Cove has three pools that area tiered and that were naturally formed, these pools all come together at the Cave Bar that is located behind a waterfall in the pools! A perfect place for your family to go and explore!

The Tamarind Cove on the other hand is known for it's quiet, secluded atmosphere that is perfect for any couple, family, business meeting, or solitary seclusion retreat. It has 110 guest rooms located in several 3 story, Mediterranean-style buildings and a new restaurant called the Tangiers that is mostly an open air restaurant that doubles as an entertainment venue for the nightly shows. If a person were to want to just sit and enjoy their time on vacation sipping margaritas and enjoying nice meals and good company, the Tamarind Cove would be the place to be.

If however you find yourself wanting an exciting, fun-filled vacation with late-nights and late-mornings that Turtle Beach resort would be your best bet. It is located in the prime location to allow easy-access to the vibrant nightclubs and the hottest hot-spots of Barbados. The Turtle Beach also features three restaurant to choose from and a 1,500 foot beach that is made up of nice white sand, and if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time of the year you might just get to see the influx of sea-turtles that come to lay their eggs on the "turtle beach" (catch that name game?).
