Lastly, here are my notes...Mostly from this site prior to the trip:
Barbados
Accommodations:
ClearWater Apartments - Cheap, but nice - no A/C except in the bedroom, near Miami Beach
Accra Beach Hotel in Christ Church located on Rockley Beach
Sea Foam Haciendas | Ocean front rental apartments in Barbados
Food:
OPA. Yep, it is a Greek place and they have great food.
A little further down the road and right by the BoatYard is a place called DA KITCHEN
Oistins fish fry on Friday/Saturday nights
Tapas
Bars / Night Life:
Mojo's Bar - Meet "Garvey" (dreads and the Marley look). Plays in a rock band.
Mc Bride’s in the Gap is a cool bar
The BoatYard
Harbour Lights
Limelight
Shows / Entertainment / Tours:
Andromeda Botanical Gardens / Bathsheba (east cost, very pretty area)
THE PLANTATION: Also called the Roots and Rhythm Review
Of the two rum distilleries, I would recommend the Mount Gay tour if you are going to do just one
Catamaran tour - Tiami all day cat tour (covered boat)
Transportation:
Take the ZR's!!! The little white vans that are often pimped out and playing loud music. They are $2 BBD, but they are fast and helpful if you need anything.
Cab driver, Mike Gooding at 246-235-5985 or 246-423-5279 he will take good care of you. If you are in country, you do not need to dial the 246, only when you call from the states.
Other:
Bajun dollars (2:1 ratio)
Diving Operations:
*My Pick* Dive Barbados LTD (Now called The Dive Shop LTD) owned and operated by John and Mary Moore
Barbados Blue at the hilton
Hightide
Roger's Scuba Shak
Reef and Wreckers in St. Peter (if you wnat to go North, Reef and Wreckers are the best to show you Maycock Bay or Light House drop-off).
