Family Overview: Barbados

By Candyce H. Stapen
Sophisticated and developed, Barbados offers the best of beaches and posh hotels, in addition to more moderately priced family-friendly accommodations.

  • We are an extended family of 20 with 11 children ranging from 2 to 18 -4 families and a grandmother. We went to Mexico last January 1 and found it nice but not quite warm enough and not enough for the kids to do at the hotel. We went to Chel-ha and Telum but we would like for there to be lots of activities at the resort as well. We have a budget of about $1700.00-$1800.00 per person before taxes. Is there somewhere you can recommed for us?? Did I mention beautiful beach and lots of restauraunt choices?? A tall order, thank you so much. Catherine
