Travel to Barbados
When it comes to fantastic sun holidays, Barbados really can't be beaten. The sunshine Caribbean isle is renowned for its great beaches, local rum, wholesome food and hazy days filled with relaxing tropical activities. Barbados is truly a paradise holiday island, offering visitors a glimpse of its colonial past alongside the stunning beach lifestyle. However, affordable breaks can be difficult to find in Barbados. Many exclusive hotels have high rack rates and restaurant or bar bills can be extremely expensive for the unwary traveller. It is possible to visit Barbados on a budget, but holidaymakers need to carry out a little research into accommodation and local shopping and eating outlets beforehand. Choose your sun holiday to Barbados carefully - many hotels are now all-inclusive which means you won't have to fork out a fortune for food and drink outside your accommodation unless you opt to go elsewhere.

Practical information about Barbados

There tends to be more rain inland, but the wettest months of the Barbados year are September to November. When it does rain, you'll experience a heavy tropical downpour and thunderstorm, but it will dry up quite quickly and the sun will soon reappear. Hurricanes are common throughout the Caribbean and tend to occur between August and October.
