Barbados is a place for two types of people, those who seek relaxation, and those who seek adventure. It is known for its 5 star hotels and spas, and its rum, and that is why it is a perfect place to tan, relax, get some rest and eat great food. Not to mention the beautiful white sandy beaches. On the other hand, there are many activities which can entertain you the duration of your stay such as snorkeling, fishing, sailing, and cruising; you can also go on a 4x4 safari tour.
