Advantages: Good restaurants, shopping Disadvantages: Not so nice beach
...out! The night-life in Holetown is not that exciting.....but if you prefer to spend your evenings just enjoying a relaxing drink like I do, then this is probably the place for you. It's very easy to relax in Holetown.
The shopping here is very good, it is easy to pick up some cheap bargains and also leave with some of the authentic gifts....don’t forget to buy some rum before you leave!
The only thing that disappointed me about Holetown is it’s ... ...sometimes, and we noticed it didn’t really happen when we visited other beaches on the island. People are friendly in Holetown though, and they do make you feel really welcome. Despite this, it is easy to get to other beaches nearby, as public buses run through the town constantly. ...

Advantages: Very Scenic, Close To Shops, Restaurants And Watersports Disadvantages: Traffic can become very busy, Size of beach varies
...Barbados on my transfer to Holetown you soon realise that the town is one of the most scenic on the island. I also noticed the large traffic jams that developed during the rush hours, however this doesnt really matter if you get a taxi as the drivers knew the area very well and always found a quicker route.
One of the most talked about issues regarding Holetown are the beaches, or lack of. When i was there the beach was at most 2-3 meters wide and ... ...i'd definately go back to Holetown due to the facilities and the fact you can do everything you want, be it a relaxing pool side holiday or an action packed watersports one, within the one town.
*Edit* Just a quick note to say that during my two weeks i saw Billy Ocean (the singer) Gary Lineker (tv sport presenter) and a family in the same hotel saw Tony Blair (PM of England) his wife and children! ...

Advantages: Home to some of the best people yourll ever meet Disadvantages: Roads by the beach can be very fast
There was a lovely little place called o cristals just over the road, by a lovely beach. There is not alot of beach by holetown, but you dont have to go very far at all really to find one. So isnt really a problem. There was alot of beach by fitts village and you could walk down and up it to find where you wanted to swim as barbados never allows anyone to privitise the beach. There is some amazeing beautiful things to see and we also found ourselves ... ...We rented jet skis from people off the beach, the 4 stroke engines go like hell. The 2 strokes go fast even with two people on. I will always have warm and loveing feelings for barbados and its amazeing people. They are so helpfull and are great to talk to. Barbados gave me a true feeling of being human and how much a person can enjoy themselves and enjoy being around others. Even if you didnt know them. This was my secound time to barbados, and ...
