Holetown (Barbados)

Holetown…..it hasn’t got the most flattering name, but it definitely has some good points! This is where I stayed for my two weeks of glorious Caribbean sun. Although I stayed in self-catering accommodation, there are many attractive hotels within Holetown.

There is some amazeing beautiful things to see and we also found ourselves in lots of secret beautiful places that felt all ours.
