St. Francis of Assisi

Reviewed By 638lync - Ellington, United Kingdom

We joined mass at this jewel on the Caribbean Sea in Barbados. First thing we noticed - the large glass windows overlooking the sea. The mass itself was beautiful - uplifting songs, joined hands for ‘our Lord’s Prayer, and very meaningful sharing of the sign of peace. There were also much needed prayers for unity amongst all churches as well as a thought-provoking sermon. Thanks to the parish priest and all the parishioners for a warm welcome.

1627 Bar & Lounge

Sit,relax,dance,chat,in the rustic setting at 1627 Bar& Lounge. We serve all types of drinks,however,we specialise in rum-base drinks as the word rum came from Barbados. 1627 was named for the year the first settlers to the island arrived in Barbados and they landed in Holetown. The cocktail menu was created for the 1627 Bar and Lounge by award-winning International Bar Chef:Jamaal Bowen.Enjoy.

Paynes Bay Beach

Reviewed By Jodie184 - London, United Kingdom

Definitely spend time at this beach - it is beautiful and has amazing coral reefs bursting with the most stunning fish to swim with. There is a great tour out to the turtles and to several shipwrecks that can be picked up on the beach three times a day (by Tamarind hotel) - look for 'Rod da man under da hat'. You can also rent jet skis from him and his colleague Peter which I highly recommend as the experience is amazing - it's so exhilarating. These guys are wonderful and the divers that come with you are seriously skilled and knowledgeable - they will take excellent care of you and even give you free underwater pictures of you and the fish!

We were based in Dover Beach during our stay but drove up to Holetown to sample the beaches on the west coast. We stopped off here for a cocktail and to watch the sun go down and it was fabulous - a perfect setting in both senses! There is no beach in front of the bar but there is a boardwalk and although we didn't eat there, the restaurant next door, which I think is part of the same place, looked lovely too. Cocktails are not cheap but with the British Pound so low, we found everything to be quite expensive. Definitely worth a visit!

Another quite beach, seems to frequented but the guests of small handful of holiday home (certainly on weekdays, it may different at the weekends). Good beach for sunny as there is not much wind, safe for swimming and plenty of fish to snorkel with. There is also a nice Italian restraunt for lunch,
