RESORT INFORMATION - BARBADOS

Home of The Kensington Oval…The scene of Thorpy’s Ton and Hoggy’s Hat-trick in the last series England played here. Now a truly magnificent stadium.
As well as 'limin' (chilling out), you will have to find the time to fit in some 'wining' (no, not the drink - it's Bajan dancing), plus there are lots to see on this pretty coral island. To really understand Barbados, you must take to the waters - a catamaran tour gives you a totally different perspective, while snorkelling fans will enjoy spectacular underwater scenery. There's also plenty of happening nightlife on the south coast for those keen to party, although families and couples seeking a more sedate holiday will find the peace and tranquillity they're after in the west! Oistins fish fry is a must - especially as it is now the 2007 winner of the Visitor's Choice Award!
