Sam Lords Castle Barbados.
I was married in Barbados on 25th Feb 2000 at Sam Lords Castle; this was my second attempt at marriage and also my husband to be. So we decided to go away somewhere warm and inviting and do the wedding bit just for us instead of the worry of inviting hundreds of guests and all the hassle that goes with it.
When we set out on this task we were unsure as to where we wanted to go at first but decided on the Caribbean after ... ...and beverages
• Use of the Sam Lords castle for our wedding
• Lovely wee cart brought me from my room to where Alistair was waiting.
We had to pay extra for the photographer this cost us $260.00 for 24 prints and negatives and a lovely white leather bound album.
From the Airport:
We landed at Grantley Addams International Airport Barbados after a very long but pleasant flight. On stepping off the plane we were hit by the most ...

...of a really beautiful place, Sam Lords Castle. Get your timbers nicely shivered, because Sam Lord was a pirate, and a very bad man. Legend has it he lured ships this way with torches, so that they would get shipwrecked on the rocks. He would then loot the ship, the naughty man. You can read about him and his mistresses in the hall of the historic casle that forms the centrepiece of the resort. Below it is a mile long beach of pale vanilla sand, scene ... ...is safe if you happen to fall over (the rum is strong). They also have their own version of the Oistins Fish Fry here, and there's a Bajan night, but let's face it, every night is Bajan night on this fun-loving isle.
As we travelled with virgin, the transfer from airpot to hotel was free (not sure if this goes for all bookings). Arrived for the start of what was to be a wonderful week of pure heaven, a bottle of champane and a hugh bowl of fruit ...

Advantages: Attractive resort Disadvantages: Service going down, not much to see in the castle, not a swimming beach
...well as the legend of Sam Lord and his pirate ways. However when you get inside the castle it looks like a mini stately home. It isn't very big at all. Sure the views are very nice but the pictures can be very deceiving.
The resort is pretty nice as well, sporting 3 pools and a large range of facilities. Eventhough it is close to the beach, as it is on the eastern Atlantic side of the island, don't expect to go out swimming there as the sea is a ... ...of view of the explorer, Sam Lord's Castle is on the other side of the island from Bridgetown and St. Lawrence's Gap, where all the tourist things are. This makes it a real hassle if you want to go anywhere on the island and you have to resort to comparitively expensive taxis rather than the very cheap bus service.
Overall I would say this is a nice place to visit for the castle and a nice place to stay if you like to relax. But it you want to get ...
