Many travel writers have focused on Barbados as it offers a wealth of features that make it a most desirable Caribbean destination for Canadians. Their descriptive articles have beautifully set the mood for a Barbados experience.

Barbados is popular because of the mix of natural beauty, geographical variety, unparalleled beaches, unique climate and a plethora of accommodations to please every budget.

One can delight in choice of lifestyles from a breezy mountain inn overlooking dramatic Atlantic waves, to a sprawling luxurious world-class beach resort on the white sands of the Caribbean or a cozy comfortable guesthouse nestled in lush gardens minutes to a choice of spectacular beaches.

Great Duty Free shopping is a short bus ride from anywhere. Bustling Bridgetown, the capital is International in flavor. Holetown and Speightstown offer the charm of browsing in more historic and quaint settings.

Bajans (also known as Barbadians) welcome you to their many activity centers. St. Lawrence gap on the south coasts boasts “the place to be” for nightlife. The west coast beckons you with “happy hours” at the numerous beach bars & cafés.

Bathsheba offers East Coast tranquility mixed with dramatic views and is a ‘surfers paradise’. One can live in cut offs or beach wear and be a ‘beach bum’ by day and don formal attire for elegant torch-light dining & dancing by the sea at night.

From International fare to sumptuous Bajan cuisine the varied menus pamper the palate. Oh yes, don’t miss out on “flying fish”, peas & rice & cou-cou-local specialties.

(Check the alliteration) The sea, sun, surf and sand entice you to participate in sun-tanning, snorkeling, scuba-diving, sailing, swimming with giant sea turtles, submarine touring on the reefs, scouting the many hiking trails in the mountains plus taking safari day-trips that introduce you to multiple enclaves of Bajan delights.

You deserve a visit to the many entertainment venues where you will revel in jazz or sway to calypso, reggae and hip-hop beats and then to be ‘lulled to sleep by’ lapping waves, chirping crickets and musical wee tree frogs.

Sugar cane, hence rum production, which was once the number one industry, has now given way to tourism. The indigenous population numbers 265,000 and is expanded annually by approximately 2 million tourists. Literacy is 98%, unemployment about 10%, crime is low and the overall standard of living is higher than most of the other Caribbean islands.

Come taste Barbados. Put in your diet, its addictive.
