Serenity and gentility beckon... Barbados is unique, melding English traditions and Caribbean style. Often called "Little England",
the island is home to centuries old stone buildings and churches. If not for swaying palm trees, you might be convinced you were in
a London neighborhood. The people of Barbados are nicknamed "Bajuns". They are proud of their English heritage and enjoy cricket and
afternoon tea. People still wear light jackets for dinner, observe traditional English manners and speak with more of a British accent
than the pure "West-Indies" accent found elsewhere in the Caribbean. Bajuns are outgoing and welcoming to visitors from around the
world. In fact, one of the reasons so many people enjoy going to Barbados is the overwhelming feeling that their hotel is part of
the "neighborhood" rather than just a resort.
Temperatures range between 75-85°F, with gentle trade winds, a balmy climate and 3,000 hrs of sunshine each year. Rainy season is
July-Nov, though showers tend to be brief. Hurricanes do not usually affect Barbados.
