Aplmac Posted October 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2007 How is the shopping in Barbados. Shopping on Broad St. in Bridgetown is okay but to be honest with you, you might get better deals in St.Maarten? Still.. each island has something the others don't, so do look around, whichever island you're on for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with alpmac, shopping in St Maarten was great in my opinion, so many shops and stores when compared to Barbados. In Barbados, I found a few stores way downtown, they were ok, nothing I would ever go back to, but thats just me. There are a few shops right at the port where the shuttle drops you off - liquor stores and a great handmade pottery decor shop (this is the one shop I do love). In that little section, there are jewelry stores, tee shirt stores, rum cake stores and little general souvenier shops with tschotkies. Outside that area there are some local vendors selling random things. Youll find things to buy I just wouldnt say its great. Just my 2 cents.

Sunniebgi Posted October 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2007 much depends on what you are looking for. but things are not as cheap here as some places.. Duty Free might be better, but again, depends on what you are looking for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted October 28, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'm with alpmac, shopping in St Maarten was great in my opinion, so many shops and stores when compared to Barbados. To give you an illustration of what the deals are like in St.Maarten, I bought my new Canon A630 digital point-and-shoot camera in St.M. for US$240 - coulda prob. got it cheaper but both the store guy and I were too busy to haggle much - he threw in a 512 Mb. SD card instead and I'm grateful. The very next day we were in St.Lucia at Point Serpahine Cruise Complex(Duty Free) I saw the identical camera for US$399. -and that would have been without the 512 Mb. SD card, I'm sure (just with the lil 16 Mb.card wot comes standard with the cam) You do the math! (Prices in Barbados would be similar to those in St.Lucia, by the way) _______________________________________________ Philipsburg's main street is pretty,isn't it? - with those palm trees. wow!
