After Sandy Lane, there are a handful of superior 5* hotels in Barbados. This blog looks at Cobbler’s Cove, only 4* but another favourite with the international glitterati somewhat more private. Would you like award-winning international cuisine? Cobblers Cove is a foodie haven. It is one of only five hotels and restaurants in the Caribbean to be invited to be a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux organisation.

The main restaurant at Cobbler’s Cove sits at the edge of the beach and overlooks the Caribbean Sea and this perfect setting and outstanding local and international cuisine has won the Barbados Gold Award six times; you can even join an early morning trip with Barker, the hotel’s personal fisherman, and then the French trained chefs will prepare your catch for you to enjoy the same evening. Enjoy the freshest local produce on the wonderful terrace restaurant, or take afternoon tea in the sitting room of the Plantation House.

A warm and welcoming luxury hotel, with friendly and attentive staff for all your needs.

Cobbler’s Cove is a wonderfully pampered experience for those wanting true 5* accommodation and service. Call us at Barbados Travel Deals for a great deal on this exceptional holiday. 0845 6434 606/01977 524235

Do flying fish actually fly? It does kinda look that way as these Barbados flying fish shoot out of the water and glide for thirty metres or more! Wonderful to watch; flying fish in Barbados have become a national emblem and are a big part of the Bajan diet and a regular offering to Barbados tourists. Flying fish cutters (sandwiches) – a must have when on your luxury Barbados holidays.

Of course there is a wealth of variety of fish in Barbados, particularly dolphin, red snapper, barracuda, kingfish and tuna. When on your luxury Barbados holidays prepare to be told a hundred times that dolphin is not ‘Flipper’ – Bajans love telling you this as their dolphin is a lovely (albeit not pretty-looking) fish, not a friendly porpoise.

Watch the Barbados fishermen at work down at Oistins village or up north of Almond Beach Village hotel near Speightstown.

There are plenty of opportunities for fishing in Barbados and Barbados fishing around the waters of Barbados. Let Barbados Travel Deals sort out the necessary arrangements for your Barbados fishing holidays or go direct to one of many Barbados fishing companies who will take care of you. 

If fishing is your kind of activity, you won’t go far wrong with fishing in Barbados as the highly organised fishing charter companies will often pick you up from your hotel and drop you back at the end of the day.

Barbados sea fishing charter companies offer various options, full day/half day – your bait and tackle and even drinks throughout the excursion.
For added reassurance, these professional crews are usually led by a Captain and your health and safety is of primary concern.

Most popular catches for Barbados fishermen include;

• Wahoo
• Atlantic Blue and White Marlin
• Swordfish
• Dolphin (Mahi Mahi or Dorado)
• Yellow Fin Tuna
• Atlantic Sailfish
• Albacore

And I can add, for any romantics reading, that I had the most perfect first date with my Bajan husband, after he speared (yes, speared) a Barracuda and then he cooked it for me on the beach.
