Considered as the perfect destination for a luxury holiday, Barbados is a green island with tall palms and banana trees, and famous sandy beaches. As the easternmost of the Caribbean isles, it enjoys an untouched feel, being less commercialized than some of its neighbours.
With a unique blend of Caribbean and British cultures, you’ll find colourful houses, historical monuments as well as luxury hotels in Barbados, all of which complement the tropical landscape and the friendly welcoming atmosphere.
Barbados has boutique hotels dotted across the island, which focus on making your luxury Barbados holiday experience intimate and personal. These operate on a smaller scale with extra attention to the decor and furnishings that give every room a special, homely and luxurious feel. The elegant Cobblers Cove is one example. Its luxury suites and cottages deliver the utmost luxury. The hotel has suites with private pools set on the roof and private balconies to let you settle and relax in your own space. You will be encouraged to enjoy the water sports laid on such as water skiing, windsurfing, sailing and snorkelling, all of which take advantage of the stunning blue sea that surrounds the island.
The Caribbean is one of the most popular exotic holiday destinations. The Dominican Republic was the most popular Caribbean island in 2009, with almost 4 million visitors in 2009. Located on the island of Hispaniola, it’s one of two Caribbean islands that is shared by two countries – the western third of the island is occupied by Haiti.
In the 1490’s the Dominican Republic became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, and Spain’s first capital in the New World.
The Dominican Republic has the second largest economy in the Caribbean, dominated by the services industry despite its reputation for sugar production. It’s tourism that fuels the country’s economic growth, representing an estimated one in every seven jobs.

Orlando is world-famous for its huge theme parks and water parks, but they can get very crowded, so it’s best to get there before 8.30am, or go after 4.00pm in the afternoon. You’ll still have plenty of time if you go late afternoon, since most are open until 10pm or later, depending on the season. Be sure to plan your day at the park ahead of time, and take plenty of water and sunscreen.
Sea World
At this popular theme park you can feed dolphins, seals and sea lions; visit a man-made ‘Arctic’ ocean, with seals, polar bears, beluga whales and walruses, and take a moving walkway through a naturalistic snowy Antarctic habitat, with more than 200 penguins. You can also get close to sharks, eels, and barracuda; and visit new dolphin mothers and their calves in the popular Dolphin Nursery.
Wet ‘N’ Wild
Wet ‘N’ Wild’s new water ride, ‘Brain Wash’, has a 53-foot vertical drop into a 65-foot domed funnel, where you are bombarded with light, sound and video, as you swirl around the funnel before you finally make your escape. And an exciting new raft adventure joins the popular Surge, Bubba Tub, Black Hole and The Blast. Children love the Kid’s Park, featuring smaller versions of the adult rides.

Good choice, you have chosen Barbados as the destination for your Caribbean surf trip, the warm waters of the Barbados are every surfers dream, leave your wetsuit at home, all you’ll need to brave these water are your boardshorts and a rashguard… and oh yeah Sunblock.
There are a number of local websites which can help you with everything from accommodation and car rental to hooking you up with a competent surf tour company. Local sites are better because not only do they have first hand knowledge of information you may require, but they are generally more up to date.
One of the things that makes this island and ideal surf destination (apart from the fact that there is always something to surf) is its size, you are never more than 45 minutes away from the surf. Therefore when choosing your accommodation it is best to look for somewhere along the coast that is central in terms of surf breaks, we would advise the south between long beach and Maxwell or Dover. Any good local surf site can give you a list of options for accommodation that welcomes surfers.
