Apart from the weather sometimes being a bit dodgy this place is the business. We stayed on the West Coast (Gold Coast) at the Tropical Escape hotel. It was our honeymoon and we could not have chosen a better place. It is a three star hotel and fairly small with 50 rooms but with breathtaking decor, they got their ideas from a top hotel in Miami.
We were on all-inclusive so the food and drink flowed for at least 12 hours a day and we both put on a stone in weight in two weeks. It was a last minute deal and we had £450 off the brochure price each, but we must have drunk that much in cocktails alone. The food was good, but not comparable to a resort we stayed at in the Dominican Republic. (Another story)
The locals are really friendly and even the street sellers don't hassle you. If you give them a polite 'no thanks' then they leave you alone. In the centre of Bridgetown you get a bit hassled with cab drivers wanting to show you the island, but as soon as they here you are English and not American then they seem to want to invite you home for dinner.
One thing you have to do over there is take a bus ride. That is by far better than any ride at Alton Towers. Our driver had a bottle of beer in one hand and a jacket potato in the other, so I wonder what he using to steer the bus with ??
The other thing you must do is watch the sunset over the horizon about 6 o'clock. Absolutely breathtaking, it's something you will always remember. Really, I can't fault it apart from as I said before the weather could have been better. It was probably the rainy season but we didn't care too much. It rained solidly for the first two days, but when the sun came out you certainly knew about it, but it was very humid in the evenings.
A true paradise island, I do miss it and the friends we made while we were there.
