No we didn't go. Champers was my favorite place. Tapas was also excellent. We also ate at a few spots in St. Lawrence Gap. The best place hands down was this little food cart in holetown that one of the workers at our hotel told us about. We walked for 5mins on the side of the road in 90+ heat! but it was so worth the $12 bajan lmao. It was so damn good.

Didn't like Oistens. I actually got sick that night and it wasn't what I expected, it was quite boring IMO. We met some ladies at our resort who went the same night and they too didn't like it and one of them also got sick.

I've only been to Oistins once and found it so overrated I've never been back. I love Champers. I find it to be one of the few restaurants on the island where the wait staff engage in small talk and they have a good selection of wines. Plus the food is yummy.

I wasn't too impressed with Tapas. I find their food to be ordinary but the location is lovely.

You have to tell me about this food cart! I hope to be back in Barbados before the end of the year and I am ALWAYS searching for good food there. My favourite bar in the Gap is Hal's. Very casual but great atmosphere.

You went to the North Coast?

Met this amazing woman that worked in Champers. She was so much fun to talk with. She's worked their for 3yrs and told us, she had never left the island in her entire life (scared to fly).

First week we stayed at Turtle beach Resort. Second week we stayed at my boss's house on Sandy Lane property. We also ate at Tides restaurant (boss knows the manger, so it was free for us).

Normally I would never eat at a food truck, but we wanted food the locals would eat at. I said to one if the workers, "be honest, where would you eat during your lunch break. I want a place that serves food in a styrofoam plate". He sent us about a 5min walk (from lime grove mall) across a bridge past a football field to this lot that had a food truck. Best macaroni pie and king fish!!!!!!

It is the quintessential sun, sea and sand vacation. I go there quite often for business but somehow it always feels like a holiday.

OMG, I LOVED it there!!! I see now why my boss bought a house there and goes every weekend.

We did the El Tigre catamaran tour and had so much fun. If any of you go to Barbados, you have to do a tour with El Tigre and no one else. We were going to do the company Jammin, based on a suggestion from the hotel manager, but guest we were hanging with by the pool said, no you must do El Tigre. Best 5 hour boat ride!!! Swam with the sea turtles, snorkeled with fish, saw under water wreckage, had fun with the best crew, unlimited drinks and food included.

So jealous you get to go there often.

Best vacation ever!!! People at the resort were so sweet. They knew our names and had so many birthday surprises for me the entire time. Not a single person there was unfriendly. We had two taxi drivers we always used and they were the best. Not only did they take us to where we wanted to go, they gave us tours around the island like a tour guide. They also taught us so much about the history of the island. One of them Rhi's cousin stayed with us one entire day, waited for us to have dinner then took us to a party and paid for all our drinks. Such a sweet guy.

Sounds like in incredible place full of incredible people. My newsfeed is currently being bombarded with pictures of Barbados by my one of my cousins who has just gone there with her friends. I'm jealous of you all and your vacations :graucho::laugh::laugh:

Sounds like you had an incredible time! I'm so happy you had a great vacation! Barbados is special there's no doubt.

Not too sure I'd go so far as to say filled with incredible people Lou… I find most of the other islands are friendlier and relish the fine art of small talk! But I've met some wonderful people there over the years. It's a must visit.

Sassy's I know your food truck! They really do good food. I found it the same way. Was at Tiki bar late a night and all the restaurants were closed. The staff told me that's where they buy food.

I have to say though, the street food in St Lucia is better and the best cooking amongst all the islands is in Trinidad! No contest.

I know, I'm all pumped up on vacation jealousy I'll say anything atm :ninja::laugh: There's a mix of good and not so good people everywhere, but it's the good ones you meet that make a vacation great or any destination other than 'home' and the familiar.

Denise "Saucy Wow" Belfon!

This woman is an amazing performer. She's over 200lbs and dances like she weighs nothing. She has a dance called the bicycle wine where she's dancing while pretending to ride a bike. It's mind blowing. This song, not so much :laugh:

It's catchy though! I understand why it's in your head still
