Barbados Hotel Recommendations
If the unforgivable happens and you are stranded in Barbados in either direction for your voyage of discovery to Bequia and/or St. Vincent and the Grenadines try one of the following hotels to salve your injured psyche:
The Barbados hotels we recommend have a wide range in pricing progressively from:
Southern Palms Beach Resort ( www.southernpalms.net ) our favorite and usual stopover - south coast
Treasure Beach (west coast) ( www.treasurebeachhotel.com ) friendly, comforting and very good
Crane Beach Hotel ( www.thecrane.com/ ) character to remember
Fairmont Hotels ( www.fairmont.com/ ) Glitter Bay and Royal Pavilion next to each other on the west coast. We enjoyed the Royal Pavilion in particular.
