Hotels [edit]

Hotels in Barbados are generally quite expensive and of high level. Some budget guesthouses are located in the place called Saint Lawrence Gap on the south end of the island. It is better to book a hotel in advance, as it may be hard to find a room just after you arrived to the island.

How to get there [edit]

Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) is one of the largest transport hub in the Caribbean and takes a huge amount of daily flights from USA and Europe, as well as from neighboring Caribbean countries. Thus the flights to Barbados are relatively cheap.

When to go [edit]

The climate of Barbados does not have a pronounced seasonality. The air and the water are warm all year round. There is no sweltering heat on the island due to the constant trade winds from the Atlantic.

Keep in mind that maximum amount of rain is from June to November. So the best period to visit Barbados is a period from December to May.
