Me and Fran in Our Barbados Small Hotel

Fran and I went to Barbados last month. We stayed at this awesome Barbados small hotel that had the most charming rooms. The place was truly beautiful. Fran and I agreed to go back to the very same place next year.


For the price of the hotel, we really got our money’s worth. The hotel was located at the Eastern side of the island, just a few minutes away from long beach. It was such a value; we really saved a lot of money by staying there. And the best part is that the place was great. I did not expect as much service and quality from a Barbados small hotel. It just goes to show you that there still a lot of great deals in Barbados. People, (including myself) think that the Caribbean country is an expensive place since so many celebrities go there. But it is actually quite affordable if you just know where to stay and where to eat. I love Oistins, by the way. That town has the best seafood fry I have ever tasted.


Here’s Fran and myself getting ready for some jet skiing fun. This was taken by some guy who was checking us out so I decided that we could take advantage of the guy and make him a slave for the day. We made him carry our stuff and rub suntan lotion on our backs.

Ah, that beautiful Caribbean Sea water. No words can fully describe the beauty of that place. I definitely fell in love at first sight with that perfectly azure beach. We met a couple of cute locals at this beach and they treated us to lunch (ah yes, the perks of being sexy). Then at night we partied at the southern coast of the island near the Gap where the night life of the island is located. It was a good thing that our Barbados apartment hotel was located at the center of the island because we were near everything. We went to the majestic north shore as well before we left.

Dover Beach Hotel in Barbados Lowers Rates

Barbados (February 18, 2010) – The Dover Beach hotel in Barbados lowers it rates this summer. The discounted offers have actually started since last year when the recession at the U.S. was at its peak. Barbados is well known for its tourism industry and nearly fifty percent of the tourists that come to the island are Americans. This is why the Dover Beach hotel in Barbados along with many others have lowered their rates since the recession is discouraging many from going on an expensive vacation.

Dover beach gives, perhaps what most critics agree as one of the best locations a hotel in Barbados could have. It is very private. For those looking for a combination of being privately secluded white Barbados beach and yet close to the town, then this hotel is the best choice. It is a walk away from St. Lawrence Gap which is where the Barbados nightlife lives. There are many restaurants, bars, and clubs in the Gap along with duty free shops. It is also just fifteen minutes away from the Airport as well as the capital city of the Barbados, Bridgetown which is another great place to visit and to shop in.

Dover Beach Hotel is also great since it brings high value to one’s money. The place is very beautiful and yet one can afford to bring the whole family in because the rates are not really so high. And now that the rates have gone down due to the economic recession of the U.S. then this is really the best time to take advantage of the hotel.

The southern coast is the place to be for people who love the night life. But it is also the place to be for those who want to experience the spirit of the country since many heritages locations and tourist spots of interest are in the south. Some of the best beaches and dining choices are also located in the southern coast.

The place may not have the biggest rooms for the rates, but considering the location, one can really save more money in the Dover Beach Hotel since all the traveling expenses will be cut in half if not eliminated. Those who are young and who love to explore the island on their own and go to the beaches on foot will find that the location of Dover Beach makes up for the small accommodations.
