Question Hello, i recently booked a week in barbados staying in the Bougainvillea Beach Resort.
1. are you familiar with this hotel? if so what is your opinion of it?
2.i recently saw a holiday program on barbados showing things to do such as Jeep safari and horse riding tours. i thought the jeep safari looked very fun and the horse riding also looked very good, do you know of any other things that you can do on the island which would be ideal for a 18 year old couple?
3. one last question, can you tell me about taxi prices, for isntace how much would a 15 minute journey cost?
thankyou for your time.
Answer Hi Ryan,
Bougainvillea is a nice Hotel at the South Coast. It has nice rooms and a bautiful beach. It is ideal situated to access the public transportation - Supermarkets are close and also St. Lawrence Gap. You will find there lots of Restaurants, Pubs and Coffee shops and also with live music.
The Jeep Safari is ok; when you like horse back riding make sure you are a good rider - most operators have no insurance. I personally love a catamaran cruise. Please check for further information www.barbados.org
I don't know the exact taxi rates, but you will find at the Airport - outside at the Taxi stand a board with information about prices also in the Barbados visitors books, available at the Airport too, Supermarkets and Hotels.
