Hotel in Barbados - HELP

[malony33]

We're doing a 1-nt. pre-cruise in Barbados in early December, and we're looking for a nice, clean, reliable hotel on the beach bet. the airport in Bridgetown(where the ship is docked).

 

Some problems:

 

 

The upscale resorts - which are more than we need, really - are priced for Donald Trump!

 

The small inns are either run-down or lack even basic amenities, like AC!

 

Some of the nice and somewhat affordable hotels have a 3 - 4 nt. minimum stay.

 

The hotels that fit our "profile" - beach, pretty grounds, still affordable(less than $200/nt.) look and sound great. Reviews on Trip advisor.com are always mixed, though. For any one property, one writer says " gorgeous room", the other, "dirty, dated, in need of repair". For another, "pretty and clean", then we read, "We awoke to cockroaches all over, inc. on our bedspread!".

 

 

 

Please help; rooms are going fast.

 

Thanks,

Barbara :)

Maloney33,

You may want to take a look at the South Beach Resort.

www.southbeachbarbados.com

It is a non-smoking resort. So if you don''t smoke it may be what you are looking for.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, McBoo! I just spent some time on their website; the resort seems to be exactly what we're looking for, and it's in the right location (bet. airport and cruiseport).

 

I really appreciate your reply.
