Bookmark & shareComfortable travel on Barbados can easily cost US$250 a day. A moderate budget will fall in the US$100-200 a day range if you hire a car occasionally and don't party too hard. Budget travellers can get by on less than US$75.00 a day if they confine themselves to public transport.
You'll want some Barbados dollars for incidentals, but larger payments can be made in US dollars or with a credit card. Hotels and guesthouses quote rates in US dollars, although you can use either US or Barbadian currency to settle the account. Most restaurants, hotels and shops accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards, and a few also accept the Discover Card. Banks are easy to find in the larger towns and major tourist areas. Most hotels add 7% government tax, plus a 10% service charge.
