The Complete Diving Guide : The Caribbean (Vol. 1) - Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St Vincent & The Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago, Barbados (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"July 2001 I dove several of the sites reviewed by ms Ryan and Mr Savage
and found their profiles of the dives to be very accurate and
helpful.I hope she and Brian Savage will do a "complete
DG of the Bahamas,I'd buy it in a heartbeat." www.HomeIsAway.com great Alternative Holiday Casa to Exchange in Barbados.

"Earlier dive guides I have used have come from the Globetrotter series - who do not have a guide for Barbados, which is what I was looking for. Coming to the "Complete Diving Guide" after the high standards of Globetrotter is something of a disappointment. There is nothing wrong with the book in terms of the content it is providing - it gives information on the sites, some (though by no means all) dive schools, and a little background on the islands. However, the writing style is very narrative - think "what I did on my diving holiday this summer" type essays. The presentation is also a bit dated. It is not a bad guide by any means, but if Globetrotter do get around to publishing on the area, it is almost certain to be a better bet." Before exchanging a Vocation or Holiday Villa in Barbados, I would read this book.

The Rough Guide to Barbados (Miniguides S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I bought this because the book touted itself as a way to find those out of the way places that the usual travel books don't tell you about.

I have read this book, and I learned nothing new -- no restaurants, accommodations, attractions, etc. that I hadn't known about already. So in this regard it was a disappointment.

However, it is a good basic primer about things Barbadian. There are, however, some good, detailed maps. It is also a "pocket" book, small in size, so you could easily bring it with you to Barbados and use as a reference.

However, I also read Harry P.'s book on Barbados. It is much more thorough and also pretty portable. In my opinion, if you need one book on Barbados, this one probably wouldn't be it." Relax with this book when on Vocation or Holiday in Barbados. It would be so handy when you Exchange a Vocation or Holiday House in Barbados.

"Covers all aspects of the island ranging from the coasts, restaruants and entertainments through to the history, culture and traditions. Worthwhile reading material for anyone planning a trip to Barbados - would have been nice however if there was more content aimed at those going on package holidays as opposed to the 'backpacker' audience rough guides seem to cater for. Lacking in basic info such as the costs of local food and drink." A wealth of information about Barbados, a great book if you are thinking about exchanging a Alternative Holiday Alternative Holiday property in Barbados.

"Seems that the Rough Guide team are trying to get a book out on every location without regard to their roots. I've always bought the Rough Guide for any holiday destination but this one was just full of lists with little extra value.

Very few useful hints were contained, when you land in Barbados, there are lots of free handouts, maps etc which make this book a waste of time.

Just go to the local bars/rum shops and ask the locals - save the price of the book and buy them a bottle of rum !" Before exchanging a Vacation Villa in Barbados, I would read this book while in Barbados.

"Indispensable on the best places to
eat and drink (including the fantastic
Fisherman's Pub in Speightstown) and good
tips on places we wouldn't otherwise have
found, like the Art Gallery in Bridgetown
and the unspoilt east coast beaches." This book has wonderfull information on Barbados, well worth reading if you exchanging a Alternative Holiday Cottage in Barbados.

Explore Barbados (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"We really enjoyed ourselves in Barbados usiing this guide. Barbados is very compact, and the only town is the capitol city of Bridgetown which is OK but not the best place to hang out in. Thanks to this book we were able to travel to the east coast and visit the small village of Bathsheba, discover the natural areas to the north, and really appreciate what we were seeing. Also, the guide lists small bed and breakfasts and local restaurants. The websites listed were useful as well as the information we found on the publisher's website. We really recommend that you check out some of the natural areas such as Barclay's Park and Welchmans Gully. You should make your reservations before you go, because everywhere can be reached in a short period of time. Although all of the bus routes are listed in detail, we found it easier to rent a car." If you are thinking about exchanging a Alternative Vacation Apartments in Barbados, I would buy this book to take with you while in Barbados.

"After having liced in B'dos for almost 6 months, I can honestly say that this is the most comprehensive guide around. On addition to discussing the culture, the book provides information that in not otherwise readily available unless you spend time with the Bajans." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Holiday in Barbados. It would be so usefull when you Exchange a Alternative Holiday Cottage in Barbados.

"I did not find this book to be helpful in providing information specific to Barbados that I could not find in any free tourist booklet on the island. There is a whole page on "Beach Boys"... there are local men anywhere you may go on vacation that will try to pick up vacationing women. This is not information specific to Barbados. There is a whole page on "What to take": Shoes and socks, underwear,swimsuit,soap,sunscreen,comb,shaving kit,etc,etc. Please!!! I stayed at the Coconut Court Beach Resort which is one of the oldest and most respected family run hotels on the island and it is not even listed in the accomodation sections. I would save your money and pick up the multitude of free guides available on the island." This book has fantastic information on Barbados, well worth reading if you exchanging a Alternative Vacation House in Barbados.

"The book is informative, but restricted to the amount of content delivered in each section. At the sametime, it seems to be aimed mainly at US travellers wanting to explorer Barbados. Overal its worth buying if you don't know anything about the Island, but don't expect a book that is packed full of the latest hot tips. Style & layout of the book could be better!"

Pig Tails 'n Breadfruit: A Culinary Memoir (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"This culinary memoir of the author's childhood in Barbados describes his early introduction to cooking, his involvement with native dishes, and his progress in becoming a cook. Don't look for recipes here; it's more a memoir and biography of Barbados cooking, though descriptions of preparing dishes are lovingly detailed and rival James Beard's American presentations." www.HomeIsAway.com great Alternative Vacation Casa to Exchange in Barbados.

"This delightful book evokes the language and spirit of Barbados. The author weaves in tales of growing up in Barbados with memories of the food, 'hot cuisine', that fashioned his childhood. For anyone who has visited the island, this will surely bring back fond and enticing memories. Read the book, visit Barbados!" A wealth of information about Barbados, a great book if you are thinking about exchanging a Vacation Vacation property in Barbados.

"The more acquainted you are with the food rituals of West Indians (and Bajans in particular), the more you should restrain yourself from reading this book in public. You will grin, chuckle and gafaw, and people will stare at you." Before exchanging a Alternative Vacation Cottage in Barbados, I would read this book while in Barbados.

"If you grew up in a West Indian kitchen, if know any West Indian families well or if you have lived in the West Indies this book will appeal to you. (I use the term 'West Indies' as that is what the author calls the Caribbean, in particular Barbados). The recipes are wonderful and conjure up the true essence of the cookery, history and social scene in Barbados and the other islands. You would have to be brave to attempt most of the dishes (pigs trotters and tails) but the book doesn't really pretend to be a cookery book - rather a memoir about his childhood and young manhood with food in the foreground. An excellent book - I loved it." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Vacation in Barbados. It would be so usefull when you Exchange a Vacation Cottage in Barbados.

To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"This is a wonderfully funny novel, a comedy of mistaken expectations. A couple - he's American, she's Irish - move from New York to Dublin, buying a house and renovating it. The fun really starts when his relatives and their friends come to visit from the States. Told in the form of a diary, it is the kind of book that you get into so much that you forget yourself and suddenly it's hours past your bedtime! The writing seems effortless, and it's tremendously witty." Before exchanging a Alternative Vacation Apartment in Barbados, I would read this book.

"Cromwell's solution to the Irish problem seems to have been an attempt to simply remove the local inhabitants, by transporting them to work in slavery on the sugar plantations of the West Indies. The author has painstakingly unearthed a really shameful episode of the English history in Ireland - primary historical records are understandably rare and frequently uncatalogued - and traced its fascinating human consequences in present-day Barbados. This is a journalistic rather than an academic work. O'Farrell is far from dispassionate about his subject, which in my view occasionally clouds his judgement; and he dwells a little too long occasionally on the details of brutality and cruelty. But it is his very passion which brings this history to light and life. A fascinating historical discovery for me." If you are thinking about exchanging a Vacation Casas in Barbados, I would buy this book to take with you while in Barbados.

Reviews:

"I have travelled many times in Barbados over the last twenty or so years & have always struggled to find a quality map that includes "all" of the tracks as well as the main roads, this Map satisfies the need. Let's face it, road markings & signage in Barbados are poor to put it mildly, but with this map you should be able to find your way back when you get lost. Believe me, you will get lost especially on the east coast, but don't be put off it's a small but safe Island and this map will prove a valuable guide."
