Barbados, or elsewhere in the Caribbean?

They race on Saturdays at The Garrison in February. It's an absolute MUST DO. Watch how excited the natives get in the public stand , absolutely brilliant atmosphere.

only been to barbados and it was awesome what an island of contrasts ..wonderful

if you go stay on the west coast its like paradise

Try St Maartens.

Dutch part of the islands and get some great deals on diamonds for the loved one!

A fair bit of googling has gone on here

Some of us on here Crags, actually see a bit of the world when not on Betfair.

My wife went to the West Indies last year

Any sign of her coming back, Crisp?

Thanks for the replies... having a look at St Lucia, St Martins, want somewhere quiet, like that place in Death in Paradise show.

No, she wanted to go

That's Guadeloupe by the way.

I like Barbados, though it is very expensive when you are there.

I really enjoyed the US Virgin Islands of St John and St Thomas.

Would avoid The Bahamas.  Sort of like the American Benidorm (though not quite that awful!)

Barbados is expensive if you're not there as well.

West coast is like a paradise. But the east coast is a serene idyll - especially Bathsheba - more north coast than east but the Atlantic provides a very different setting to the Caribbean.

Otherwise, Oistins on a Friday night and as suggested the horse racing are musts.

Went to Barbados in 1997, girlfriend's granddad had 2 houses there, middle ones in the link below.
Heard it's changed a lot now with all inclusives but it's it was a lovely slightly antwacky place.

I don't think the phrase 'she's a keeper' had been coined back then
