Searching for the best hotels in Barbados? This post will be ranking for you the top 10 best hotels in Barbados, luxury hotels that is.
Barbados is one of the true gems of the Caribbean Islands. Located at the very eastern edge of the Windward Islands, Barbados is about as far as you can get from the U.S. mainland in the Caribbean. An 8 hour flight from Miami and a stiff price tag for an airline ticket, help keep Barbados from being over run with tourists. Barbados enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean and is one of the most developed islands as well.
Over the centuries control over Barbados has shifted from the Portuguese to the Spanish to finally the British who established a colony there in the 1600's. The early English settlers made Barbados into a major sugar producer and they also perfected the manufacturing of rum, in fact, Barbados is the birthplace of rum which the rest of the Caribbean is very thankful for no doubt.
Being the easternmost of the Windward Islands bordering the Atlantic, the eastern shore of Barbados gets a fair amount of surf and some beaches are popular with surfers. If you want a more calm beach the western shore is the place to go. Fortunately, this is where most of the luxury resorts are located.
