Seeing Barbados:
Public transportation is excellent in Barbados, but hiring a car for a couple of days is a great way to see Barbados at your own pace. Great sites are Bathsheba, Animal Flower Cave, Harrison's Cave, the East Coast Road, Crane Hotel, Sam Lord's Castle, etc..
Try a Safari, catamaran cruise for snorkeling and swimming with the turtles, or even the Jolly Roger cruise which includes meals and drinks!!
Beaches:
Discovery Bay beach allows you to sit and bask in the sun or have fun with the various water sports: Jet Ski, water skiing, snorkeling, boat tours. Access to the Discovery Bay pool and tennis courts can be arranged upon request, a small fee is required by the hotel for the tennis courts.
All beaches are public so you can swim at all the hotel beaches, such as Sandy Lane Hotel, which is just a short walk from the villa.
Mullin’s Bay is a beautiful beach and you could spot a celebrity whilst you are there!!
Beaches on the East Coast are beautiful but swimming can be dangerous, so be careful.
Miami Beach in Christ Church has beautiful powdery sand and waves!!! Great fun for the family!!
Golf:
Barbados golf courses are characterized by tight fairways and scenic views of Barbados.
