We have done all inclusive in Barbados, however planning to spend time with GF’s family and friends. I don’t see this as an extra expense, instead a convenient way to holiday. Got picked up at the airport by baby cuz, followed by a delicious home cooked meal we brought duty free champagne for the table (trust me, it’s a black thang) .. we weren’t going to get that kind of welcome from elegant hotels.. planning to hire a car for a couple of days so that we can visit the north side, east side and back country of the island less travelled by tourists.
#edit
-Oistins and the Gap = party central
-Between BIMtown and Holetown = white safe and/or exclusive enclaves of all inclusive resorts aka the Ivory Coast waters are calm with many shades of turquoise..
North coast - empty sparsely populated
East Coast - newly established developments, coast is wild, sea is rough Atlantic facing
Back country - rural and basic with a few plantation houses, some now black owned
Back to our resort
loads of free water sports, pools, three meals (buffet mostly) food is okay, better outside the resort, service is ace, drinks are free, beach is clean, water is warm..
Liming in the back streets of BIMtown, during the day yesterday seeing Barbados through another lens
the term outside is for real in the night time.. Friday’s can only be Oistins and The Gap.. tourists arrive 6pm gone by 9pm. Locals arrive 9pm leave at 6am
It’s gonna be epic for the simple reason that baby cuz lives for Friday nights..
