Have you been to Carambola recently

[PoppyandNana]

After a lot of research we decided to spend the day at Carmbola beach club on Barbados but am getting very conflicting information from some of the reviews.

 

Specifically understood the food and beverage facilities are gone and that the beach is very run down. Anybody have any current information?

 

Alternatives? Can we use the beach by the hotel?

The only Carambola I know is St Kitts...

OP, I believe if you go to the Port of Call section, as others have suggested, you will get more complete answers to all your beach questions.

 

And yes, Carambola is a popular beach club on St Kitts.

 

Here is the link to the Caribbean Ports of Call, in case you are having trouble finding it.

Carambola = Starfruit

A common tropical tree, I have one in my yard.

Just want to mention that anyone with kidney disease should avoid eating starfruit, which is often offered to tourists on Caribbean tours.

 

It is verified by a number of reputable health information sources.

 

We were not aware that starfruit can cause severe kidney damage for anyone with CKD and just learned about it recently when a family member was diagnosed with early stage CKD.
