Barbados Travel Forum

I got a great deal to Barbados in September with my husband (35) and my daughter (1). My mother (65) heard about it and is now joining us along with my grandmother (85). Then my sister (43) thought my daughter would need company and so she and her husband (45), son (8) and daughter (2) will also join us. My brother (38) is single and thought a trip with the family would be fun. Then my mother-in-law (65) caught wind of the trip and is also coming along.
This is the first time to Barbados for all of us. We will be coming in mid-September for a week. We're staying at the Accra Hotel. Any comments or information on the hotel and the area it's in?
Can anybody suggest things to do? We range from ages 1 to 85. (yes those were ages in the brackets.)
What might be a good way for us to get around? We'll probably end up traveling in a pack of 8 adults, 1 child and 2 toddlers. We'd take up a whole bus just by ourselves...If we rent cars we'd probably need to rent three cars and none of us has ever driven on the left side before.
What to do!?!? All suggestions welcomed.
Good thing we're a close family. :)
Does anyone know if Harrison's Cave is really going to be closed?

Wow, that sounds like fun-filled family vacation.

There are so many things you can do in Barbados

Barbados is an ideal place to go on lovely driving tours or to go on a Catamaran, do water sport, go golfing or on a 4x4 Safari or just have to chill out on the beach.

I would recommend:

The North Point.
It is such an amazing place. See the magnificently beautiful rough and wild landscape. The waves at North Point can rise fifty feet up the cliffs. Last time when I was there the ocean was very calm, but even than it is a great place to visit.
Don’t forget your business card and paste it on the wall of the bar. Many thousands of cards are on the walls already.

Bottom Bay and Crane Beach:
May favorite bays. Do not forget your camera.

Orchid World:
If you like Orchids this place is amazing.

Bathsheba:
If you have time to drive along the beautiful east coast you should stop in Bathsheba.
Maybe carry a small barbeque grill and meat and drinks and you can have the best barbeque spot you ever wanted - right on the beach or in Barclays Park.

Oistins Fish Market
On most Friday nights, you should head to Oistins Fish Market for a few hours of food, drink, music, relaxation and fun!

Catamaran cruise
Best of all (at least for me). 3 hours sailing with food, drinks, snorkel, swimming, music and a lot of fun.

There are millions others things to do. I can only mention a few.


Wish you all a fantastic time in Barbados.
