Best accommodations and location for newlywed couple

We will be taking our honeymoon in Barbados and are looking for some suggestions re: accommodations and location. About us: 29 y.o., from Canada, not resort people per se (but clearly open to resorts), looking for somewhere with minimal kids, close to action for restaurants and music. Anyone familiar with the island have suggestions? Online, there are a lot of mixed messages about where to stay. We would really appreciate some guidance! Thanks!

Beginner Surf

Ha Ha, long time reader, first time poster....

My girlfriend and I are looking into a one week(ish) getaway in November, with the main purpose of surfing. We are beginners, so we have done it before but are not very good at it. We would like to get better. So, we are looking for a simple beach break (ie Tofino BC, Kuta Bali).

While doing some online searching, the southern coast of Barbados popped up a couple of times (Surfer's Point, Inch Marlow). I was wondering if anyone has been to these spots and what they think of them?

Other options include Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and Oahu, Hawaii (Waikiki).

Barbados seems like a really interesting place, with a unique culture and atmosphere. I'm not kidding myself as all the mentioned places are "touristy" but Barbados seems to be a wee bit less, which does make it attractive.

Oh, we live in Canada and have about a week +/-... more »

Beaches

Coming into Bridgetown via cruise ship. From what ive seen it seems best to go to Rockley/Accra beach. Where else should i go or just keep it simple with the limited time ? Any comments about maybe renting a bike at the port and riding to the beach ? Is there a way to walk from the port to the beach ? How much would a cab be or is there a way to catch a bus going here ? Thanks....

[Barbados] Bus from BGI Airport to St. Martins (Foul Bay)

Hi,

Is there any bus from BGI Airport to St. Martins? If not, how long would it take to go there on foot?
I'd like to see Foul Bay while waiting for a flight. I will have approx. 2 hours of free time. Is it enough to go there, spend some time and come back to the airport?

Thanks!

Stay in Barbados for surfing/studio rental/guest house

Hello,

We are planning to join Barbados next february for 2 weeks of holidays (or 1 month if we decide to stay after our first experience). We would like to surf most part of our time, the other part discovering the island and its wild nature. We would like to rent a studio or be in a guest house on surfers bay or surfers point or locations very closed to these places. The ideal will be in the front of the beaches and ocean but our budget for accommodation is restricted. We are looking for something simple, natural and not expensive.

Is there anybody who has a previous experience and can give us some ideas?

Thanks,

Alex and Anna

Weather on South/South-East Coast in November

Hi,

We're going to Barbados in early November for a Wedding.
The wedding is taking place near Crane Beach on the south coast. We'd like to rent a villa or apartment not too far away but have heard different things about how windy the south coast might be and the safety of swimming in the sea.
Can anyone confirm or clarify this? There seem to be lots of places to rent near Sam Lords but don't want to stay there is we can use the beach or swim in the sea.

Many thanks,

Lee

what to do with limited time

i'll be arriving via cruise ship on Dec 29th at 8am and departing at 5 pm. My preliminary plan is to go to Accra Beach . Is it easy to catch a bus to get there ? How far is Accra beach to Ostins area ? can you walk this distance and are there sidewalks etc or do i have to bus it ? Is it worth going all the way to Crane beach instead for the day ? Is there something else that is so spectacular that i should give up my beach time and do instaed ? Thanks for your input as it is appreciated.....:)
