My husband and I have been to Barbados 4 times and are going back in November. There is so much to do for such a small island, the people are super friendly, the diversity and quality of restaurants is amazing, swimming in gorgeous calm torquoise waters on the south and west coast is simply unparalleled. How could anyone resist? Best bet: take a lunchtime catamaran cruise to swim with the sea turtles, there are many of them but our favorite was Cool Runnings.

In Oct of 2005 we went to a timeshare (RCI Exchange) on the southern tip of the island. Well after 3 days at what is marketed as luxury (I'd rate it as "zero") we left after getting a reservation at Accra Beach Hotel.Lets start by saying the roads in this squalor pit are atrocious at best. From entering at customs to leaving we were treated at best indifferent and mostly down right rude. And we are white and always acted "please thank you etc".
The hotel which we paid full boat for was certainly nice but no way was it 4 star and the staff where jerks to the core. I have been to some of the rudest places on earth (Belgium France Seychelles) and this place takes the cake.When asked by the only kind person we met (the pool bartender at Accra) if we'd come back we said "not a chance in hell" The beaches are a joke (20 feet wide at Accra and most where the same) the roads crumbling the restaurants decrepit and the people rude and pushy. Go to the South Pacific or even Seychelles (prettiest place on the planet) but stay away from Tijuana in the Caribbean.

Report This5.miserable american

lolI find the "miserable American" statement hilarious.
Surely this comes from a cold rude indifferent northern euro. Maybe you are happy with this type of treatment because this is how you act in daily business. The difference in euro attitude can be found in the 8 hour drive from Dusseldorf to Munich. Munchen are kind and warm like most southern euros. Barbados had the aire of No. European. Long pants must be worn to the hotel restaurant??? Ridiculous.Never once greeted with a smile by the more than dozen restaurants and bars we went to. NOT ONCE IN 7 DAYS.
In fact the hostess at the Accra restaurant merely pointed in the direction of some tables while grunting "over there" to seat us. We were appalled at every turn on the rudeness of its peoples.Mind you this is 4 years removed. I have better memories of our Belgian GP Formula 1 trip. The 10 days in Seychelles where paradise compared to this squalor pit.
Amazing how some find us miserable yet love our money and can't wait to visit or live here!!!We welcome you with open arms no matter how rudecold or indifferent you are.
