The most "British" island in the Caribbean. Besides beach, snorkeling, diving, surfing, etc., there are a few attractions.
- George Washington house. Worth the time. This was where Washington lived as for a bit as a teenager when his brother came to Barbados to attempt to deal with tuberculosis. The tunnels on the property relate to the British fortifications.
- Harrison's Cave. Good way to spend a couple of hours. You go through much of the cave via tram, so not that much walking.
- Rum tours. I didn't do one, but they are popular.
I spent two nights at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion and four at the Radisson. Even though the Fairmont was $1250 per night and the Radisson was $250 per night (I used points and free night certificates from the old Chase Fairmont credit card), I liked the Radisson better, because it really is on the best beach on the island.

How’s the beach and water ? Comparable to the Bahamas or Turks ?
