In the Sunday Times yesterday, it refers to the ‘blinged up and flashier hotels……of the west-facing Platinum coast of Barbados‘. Although the west coast is the more affluent area, there are still great lowish-costing deals on the west coast for luxury options. Staying at Tamarind or Mango Bay will deliver everything you may want. The South coast is generally more affordable but still has amazing hotels on wonderful beaches. Bougainvillea or Ocean Two are favourites for luxury but easy access to the St Lawrence Gap and Oistins nightlife. I’m not sure that I agree with ‘better for watersports and nightlife’ as I love both coasts and if you want to just sail up the west coast on a catamaran on still turquoise waters (as we do), the west coast is it. If you want to party in St Lawrence Gap every night , then maybe the South coast is for you, but restaurants and bars are in abundance in Holetown on the west coast. Wherever you are, it’s easy by public transport or taxi to get to Oistins in the South for the ‘must-do’ Saturday night street party.

If you’ve been to Barbados before (or even if you haven’t) and you’d like the excitement of Barbados but then to escape from it all for some of your holiday, there are places in Barbados, but even better, take yourselves off to Palm Island or another hideaway in the Grenadines. Most islands are a short 45 minute/1 hour flight from Barbados. On Palm Island, you turn off all your Wi-Fi devices (there is very limited access) and forget television or word from the outside world (again, very limited on purpose).

Staying for a week at eg. The House in Barbados, exclusively for adults, peaceful and relaxing on the west coast of Barbados so you can do as much or as little as you’d like, then take a 45 minute flight to Union Island and a 10 minute private boat transfer to Palm Island. The idyllic Caribbean with no less than five beautiful white beaches and crystal clear turquoise water and easy access to the best scuba-diving and snorkelling around the Grenadines – think ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ (the movie, not scary people) at Tobago Cays.

At prices from£ 2,500 pp, this is a holiday of a lifetime, but you can even bring the price down with a different luxury Barbados hotel. Talk to us and let us help plan your special holiday. Call on 01977 524235/ 0845 6434 606 or email info@barbadostraveldeals.co.uk.

Exciting news that the new COUPLES BARBADOS resort is open!!
This brand new All-Inclusive adult-only resort is sited where the Almond Casuarina was, on the South coast on the beautiful Dover Beach at the far end of St Lawrence Gap and thus easy to walk into ‘the Gap’.

I am not well known for supporting the All-Inclusive service in Barbados, as I so want people to get out and about, but I do believe that it has it’s place. Certainly for wedding parties, and I believe that Couples Barbados is going to be a wonderful wedding destination. I only dismiss All Inclusive as I implore visitors to get out and about on the island as the island is your resort. Provided that’s understood, All Inclusive is of course perfect in order to manage your budget or simply not to worry about money once you arrive. Couples resort offers complimentary trips out and about on the island so I will be reviewing my All Inclusive concerns in a very positive light for this hotel. It ensures you see plenty of what Barbados has to offer without extra cost. Great!!

Couples Barbados has three wonderful restaurants, five bars, three freshwater swimming pools, a spa, a gym, floodlit tennis courts, plenty of different room types and many ‘extras’ that go the extra mile to make All Inclusive feel just that! Keep watching this blog for more info on those extras.

If you’re thinking of getting married in Barbados, there are many wonderful spots, but I believe that Couples Barbados is going to be highly successful following in the footsteps of its Couples resorts in Jamaica – elegant, romantic retreats that make you feel special.
