HONEYMOON HELP...
It does look mixed!
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...-Barbados.html http://barbados.wheretostay.com/prop...0-reviews.html http://www.debbiescaribbeanresortrev...os/almond.html http://www.turq.com/barbados/tripreports/report7.php Not sure what other options you have or what your likes/budget is but you might want to look at St Lucia or a PlayaDel Carmen all inclusive. Barbados is a nice place I stopped there as part of a cruise probably 10 years ago and found the people very friendly and helpful. We had taken the public bus to this outdoor wildlife park/zoo they have on the far side of the Island. We were waiting for the bus to go back to the port and a group of 3-4 teenagers were walking down the road toward us there was no one around anywhere in sight and I have to admit we were a little apprehensive. They started to talk to us and their accent was very heavy after a bit of taking and a lot of gesturing it was clear they were letting us know the bus was pretty unreliable and they were walking down to the corner and we should to as there were more buses passing on that road! We followed them thankful for the advice, a bus came by and they urged us to get on even though it was not a public bus but a private bus. Cost was 50 cents! We made it back to the ship with a little time to spare but not much! If not for the help of total strangers we may have missed the ship entirely! Wayne "Michael" wrote in message ... My fiancée and I had our honeymoon booked through US Airways Vacations to stay at the Sandals Antigua from June 13 - June 20. Unfortunately, due to several severe airline schedule changes... our arrival and departure flights changed so much that we would have lost 2 days at the resort. US Airways did not have any options for us and they were less than accommodating. they were horrible to deal with!! Although we enjoy Sandals resorts and the island of Antigua... we were very disappointed to have to cancel our honeymoon there. We did look at all other Sandals resorts... but because of the short time table... less than 1 month... most resorts or airlines were booked. My travel agent found information on the Almond Beach Village resort and Barbados in her travel guide... neither my agent or I have every heard of it or have any details on the resort. We have never been to Barbados, so thought it may be worth looking at. The flights to the island looked good and we did some research on the resort. Everything looks pretty nice... but I'm very concerned because we have read some bad reviews on a few Internet boards. Since this will be our first time there... could you please tell us about the resort, food, beach, maybe include a resort property map, and some information about the weather and Barbados. Our flight arrives at the airport 2:30pm on June 13... does the resort offer a shuttle service to the hotel and back to the airport? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. So far... our honeymoon experience has been horrible!! We look forward to your response and any assistance!!! |
