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?). Check it out and book here at
