Just got back from a short break to Barbados where we stayed at the Turtle Beach hotel. This was booked with Virgin so we had high expectations (given the price). First impressions were drab, and we were less than impressed with the room, especially with the hair dryer that stopped the closet door being closed! The service though was excellent and couldn’t be faulted, with three all inclusive a la carte restaurants. Entertainment was provided every night….. which could be a little annoying as the stage was centred between the blocks of rooms….

 We would definitely go back… but not at that price…!!!! There are a lot of other places offering true 4-5 star accommodation in the Caribbean for a lot less…. Methinks a trip to Varadero, Cuba will be next on the cards….
