Rest on pirate island. Barbados

Rest

Bearded island (Os Barbados) – got from explorers to its name, according to legend, because of the surprisingly lush vegetation of Fig trees that cover this amazing land. The island of Barbados, without exaggeration, be called one of the most picturesque and beautiful places in the Caribbean. Calm deserted lagoons with shining bright tones of turquoise water and a soft pale pink sand of the wide beaches are unreal. They look like sprinkled with powdered sugar candy in fairy tales.

Beauty serenity

On the beaches there is such serene peace, that everyone who is in this Paradise, inadvertently tries to chat in a low voice, because any loud sound just seems blasphemous in this pastoral picture. Here you can experience the full unity with nature, and even small crabs running about their business as if trying not to rustle the sand, and at the sight of the people they tactfully go in different directions.

It should be noted that in Barbados, the standard of living is quite high. It is possible that for this reason the locals are so peaceful and friendly. In addition, on the island, which is a dominion of the British Empire, absolutely everyone speaks perfect English, which is very pleasing tourists from all countries.

Introduction Barbados

To explore this amazing island the best time is from November to may. The rest of the year in Barbados lasts the rainy season. But even in the rainy weather, the temperature here remains fairly high-about 28 degrees and the sea water is pleased with their warmth.

Hotels in Barbados, not so much, so if you are planning to visit the island during the peak tourist season, the hotel booking should take care in advance – not less than six months. For example, if you decide today to book for the New year in Barbados, the legendary Sandy Lane hotel (room rates start from $3200 per night), alas, you will be deeply disappointed-the hotel of empty seats, most likely, will not appear.

Sandy Lane. Pearl Barbados

In Sandy Lane always leave the priority for their regular customers, so the number of available rooms at such a time is quite small. Such a stir around the hotel, Sandy Lane is clear – even those who had the pleasure to relax on the best resorts in the world, recognize that this complex – something special. The beach, which is one of the most beautiful in the world, a private Golf club, the best quality of service on the island, the most luxurious on-site restaurants and rooms with rare antique furniture leave no one indifferent. Each guest of the Sandy Lane hotel at the airport definitely met by the driver in a BMW or Mercedes, and honorary Shuttle Rolls Royce Phantom.

Luxurious resorts and public beaches

On the West coast of the island, which is considered a fashionable resort, the prices for hotel rooms in high season vary significantly: from $800 to $1500 per day. If on the West coast of Barbados you'll want to rent a Villa with 4-6 bedrooms, it will cost from $2000 to $4000 per day.
