Barbados Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Sophisticated and developed, Barbados offers the best of beaches and posh hotels, in addition to more moderately priced family-friendly accommodations. The island’s west coast contains many resorts and the calmest waters in the area. Mullins Beach and Paynes Bay have soft white sands, gentle slopes, and barely-visible waves.
