Hi everyone! I’m from the U.K. and Me and my partner had some Virgin Atlantic air miles to use and have just booked our flights to Barbados next March with them.
It’s somewhere we never would’ve been able to afford to fly to otherwise so we’re very excited. But we’re unsure on which of our two options to take regarding where to stay. It seems the choice is:
A) Stay in a hotel in a more convenient location for a lot of money
B) Stay in an Airbnb style apartment/guesthouse a little further from the coast for about half the cost of a hotel and hire a car to get around
My questions are: is car hire expensive? Are the roads okay to drive on and feel safe? My partner has driven abroad once before in Greece but would like to know that we’ll feel safe regarding the roads and other drivers in Barbados.
Any advise or insight that will help us decide is very welcome :)
