Jessica Taylor, Travel Counsellor For very special dining in Barbados, consider treating yourself to a meal at the Cliff restaurant. It’s on a cliff on the West Coast in the open air with the sea lit up underneath. It’s certainly not cheap, but I thought it was an amazing experience and worth the money.
Oistins on the South coast is best on Friday nights with cheap freshly cooked fish to eat on the beach. I found a choice of music and dancing - hip and current for the ‘youngsters’ and great ‘Golden Oldie’ classics for the more mature! St Lawrence Gap is well known as a party place but late at night visitors can find the strip of bars just too busy and too loud.
My two-week trip was with Bajans and I stayed in private accommodations but I did check out three hotels in Barbados. The Villa Nova is beautiful but secluded and not on a beach. Crystal Cove is pretty but very compact and bijoux with a very small beach. The Crane is also gorgeous with great rates at the moment but it is slightly out of the way.
Michelle Elgin, Travel Counsellor I also recommend Friday night at Oistins -a great opportunity to meet the locals. And for restaurants in Barbados, my vote also goes to The Cliff – one of the top restaurants in the world. Ask your agent to book it for you before you go. Great food and a fantastic atmosphere – the best dining in Barbados.
