A huge welcome to Halcyon Palm & Travellers Palm’s blog …

This is a wonderful opportunity for all of you Barbados lovers and basically for anyone who wants to share their” Barbados” Holiday experiences to lend their voices!

My name is Gill – I am 100% Bajan (another word used for Barbadian) and I live here locally so therefore I can let you in on a few secrets about Barbados!!

Now let’s see what’s happening…

We have recently installed wireless internet at both our properties Halcyon Palm & Travellers Palm Apartments. Therefore our guests can bring along their laptops on holiday and enjoy surfing the “net” at the poolside beneath the massive new sun umbrellas!!

A major facelift to the interiors and exteriors of our sister property Travelers Palms; along with modern conveniences to add to your holiday experience …

1. Access wireless internet from your very own laptop from any location on property.
2. Cheapest long distance calls offered – A really great way to save on expensive roaming charges.
3. Each apartments has been outfitted with modern convenience of microwaves , cable TV etc.
4. Modern but comfy pool deck furniture & Loungers for those sun-worshippers … or if you are like me and prefers to sit in the shade, kick back and relax under massive sun umbrellas!!

What’s Hot …

Friday nights: South coast is the place to be …Check out St Lawrence Gap “the street that never sleeps” lined with restaurants and a wide selection of pubs – local, English, Irish and even Mexican!!! Oistins Fish Fry … a great way to sample the local cuisines, anytime after 6:30pm. Rub shoulders with the locals & visitors alike, listen to some local music … calypso, reggae, sip a rum & coke, sample fresh catch of the day either grilled or fried, delicately seasoned with our own local herbs and seasonings. You can even join in the dances such as the foxtrot, waltz, tango to the sweet sounds of oldie goldies!!!

Sunday Nights: Karaoke at the TML Bar located in 2nd street Holetown is a really fun way to experience some local entertainment and at the same time brush up on your vocals!! You can not holiday in Barbados and not sample our local entertainment!!! Set in a happening street among fancy restaurants and bars nestles a quaint chattel bar, where guys & gals enjoy local rum or a local “banks beer” as they listen to a wide array of performers. You too can join in with these local crooners and visitors.

For a night to remember try Ragamuffins for good food, fun and be entertained by the drag divas. You can enjoy dinner and show as well but this show is tops so early reservations are required!!

Beaches …

Mullins beach (west coast) is really great for chilling out, topping up those tans. The crystal clear blue seas and matching skies is an unbelievable way to spend your day. There is a wide range of watersports to choose from and a nearby restaurant to enjoy a meal or sip on a cooling island cocktail.

Restaurants …

In Holetwown, you can find so many restaurants to choose from and with in easy walking distance from our hotels … Cocomos Bistro is a great choice for lunch or dinner  situated right on the beach, the atmosphere lends to a really nice island vibe. You can also try the various cocktails from "fuzzy navel" to "sex on the beach" … and the food is great!!

Of course there is a lot more on offer here in Barbados … Just get busy and book your next holiday either at Halcyon Palm or Travellers Palm Apartments!!!

Please feel free to share your island experience in Barbados with us … until next time!!!

Bye, Gilly
