Barbados - Crane Hotel and Accra Hotel, St Lawrence Gap

[backslide]

I just got home after a business trip to Barbados and here are some pics of the hotels I stayed in. Unfortunately, I worked the whole time and had pretty long days so I didn't get a chance to go out and take pictures of the local flavor.

Crane Hotel - stayed here one night before they moved us.

Accra Hotel - stayed here the rest of the time I was in Barbados. My suite consisted of a small living area with a TV, mini-fridge, coffee table and small sofa and chair. There were two bedrooms: a master and a second bedroom, each with it's own full sized bathroom. The master bedroom had access to balcony with two lounge chairs and a table and a hot tub overlooking the pool area.

St. Lawrence Gap - a strip full of resturants, bars and clubs that's always busy at night no matter what day of the week it is.

The flying fish and the dolphin down there was phenomenal! I couldn't get enough of it.

Thanks. I wish I could have stayed a little longer at the Crane. The Accra was nice but not as stunning as the Crane.

Hopefully, I'll be able to go back down to Barbados again ... and this time, for vacation also.

I like your panos, I wish I could figure out how to "do business in Barbados".

May I ask why you left the Crane and went to Accra?

Originally, everyone was booked at the Crane. When we got there, they said they were overbooked.

So they moved all the maintenance personnel over to the Accra. In the end, I think it worked out better. The Accra has a small strip mall across the street that has several small resturants and there's a grocery store about a 10 minute walk away and the St. Lawrence Gap was about a 20 minute walk away.

The Crane was a much more larger and beautiful resort, but there was no local nightlife in the immediate vicinity. You couldn't step out of the hotel and go grab a quite bit to eat or get some groceries either.
