About Barbados
Barbados is the most easterly of the islands in the Caribbean chain.
The island is 166 square miles or about 430 kilometers square. It is 14 miles wide and 21 miles long and is easily accessible by car, taxi, or public transportation.
The national language is English.
The properties of Best E. Villas are both located within walking distance of public transportation. A ride on the Barbados Transport Board Bus or any of the Private Sector Vehicles will cost you $1.50 BDS. These buses or minivans are all uniformly painted and easily identifiable. Alternatively, you may call to book a private taxi or rent your own vehicle but the prices for these options varies widely so please take the liberty of shopping around.
Barbados offers duty-free shopping in many of its more reputable shops around the island. We can boast of numerous international brands such as Coach, Tiffany & Co, Little Switzerland, Diamonds International and Columbian Emeralds among others. International credit cards are accepted and purchases are transacted in Barbadian dollars. $2 BDS = $1 US.
The dress code on the island is relaxed and comfortable, and visitors are often forgiven for wearing ‘tourist clothes’ however, as a matter of respect we would appreciate if you leave the swimwear for the beach.
At the villas, we pride ourselves on respecting your privacy and will do our best to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. Barbados is a very technologically advanced island, and we offer you wireless high speed internet and an open telecommunications network for your mobile access. We also offer cable television with many international networks like CNN, NBC, ABC and Fox.
