Escape to a world of endless summers and sun-kissed beaches, where the dazzling ocean greets you every morning and a painted sunset settles on the western shores of the Caribbean every night. Located on the “Island of Eternal Summer
Barbados is a relatively flat island that rises from west to east in a series of terraces at its highest point, Mount Hillaby, which is 1,100 feet. On the western side of the island, the sea is relatively calm. However, on the east side, where the waves of the Atlantic arrive, the coast is much more rugged. This is a perfect option for a family vacation in the Caribbean or a special vacation on an island. It also stands out for its excellent diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, sailing and boat cruises at its best. There is easy access to horseback riding, tennis and golf with special rates.
The island has one airport, Grantley Adams International, which is a thirty (30) minute drive from the capital, Bridgetown. Barbados is served by several international airlines, including Air Canada, American Airlines, British Airways, Air Jamaica, BWIA International and Virgin Atlantic. Barbados, with over 900 miles of paved roads, is considered to have one of the best road systems in the Caribbean.
The resorts range from $52.00 dollars a day to $141.00 a day. Two of many options!
