Barbados is a great place to go and well worth the extra money it costs to get there. We went to Barbados in 2005 and stayed in the Sandridge Beach hotel on the west coast near Speightstown. We will be returning to the island this year but will be staying on the south coast instead as we felt quite isolated on our last visit. The hotels are a bit run-down but the food is excellent and the people are very friendly. I would advise travellers to do some research before you go see www.barbados.org as there are lots of places to see. If you hire a mini moke then it is quite safe to travel around the island yourself to see the sights and discover some of the unspoilt beaches away from the hotels. Don't miss the Oistins fish fry on a Friday night where they cook fresh fish and have a street party afterwards. The buses are cheap and going on a boogie bus it an experience in itself. As with all caribbean islands there are street traders that try to sell you various shell's and jewellery but they will leave you alone if you say no.

Advantages: Hot weather, small island gives easy access to all areas, beautiful scenery and theres so much to do and see Disadvantages: The sea is very rough down the eastern coast, you get the occasional local on the beach near to beach side restaurants/bars trying to get you to buy them drinks, some places are expensive
