Location
About the surrounding area of Casa Crystal ShoresBarbados is one of the unique, and stunning travel destinations around; from crystal clear oceans to stunning sunsets, it’s a dreamlike island that is just a plane ride away.
It’s no surprise Barbados beaches are renowned, their flat white sand and miles of coral shore beaches are a sight to see. The West Coast offers countless stunning snorkelling and diving opportunities thanks to the coral reefs, while the South Coast has calmer waters, inshore reefs and tidal pools. Some must see beaches on Barbados include Miami Beach, Rockley Beach, Bottom Bay and Mullins Beach, the latter being one of the most popular spots on the island.
There is, of course, more to Barbados than beautiful beaches, as you head inland you can explore history-rich spots, such as endless fields of sugar canes that are dotted with plantation houses. If you’re after an incredibly moving and educational experience you can visit a plantation house for a trip back in time.
While you’re getting a taste for the culture, you must treat yourself to some of the islands rum. It’s internationally recognised for its quality, and a trip to the local distilleries (with tasting) makes for a fun day. While you’re taking a gastronomic journey of Barbados, make sure to try the local delicacy, flying fish - this is best enjoyed watching the sunset while live reggae plays. If you want a truly unforgettable experience, head to Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry where Bajans put on a show with their Caribbean dance moves to live reggae, and guests indulge in the island’s cuisine.
This Villa is located on the famous Sandy Lane beach. It is near the iconic Sandy Lane Beach Hotel, a luxury resort.

About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesBarbados is an ideal place to travel with children because there’s not only plenty to keep both adults and children entertained, but because it’s a safe, friendly and welcoming spot for the whole family.
The Villa is located in a cul de sac, so it’s a safe place to travel with children; who can roam to their heart’s content. While there’s no pool, the Villa offers beach toys such as noodles, lilos and boogie boards.
There’s plenty to do and see in Barbados, of course, you won’t want to go past a day or more on the beach, thankfully there are many family friendly beaches, including Mullins Bay, Bathsheba and Paynes Bay, all of which have plenty of space for lazing by the sea and a spot of sports, as well as safe oceans and some even offer useful amenities such as change rooms, cafes and restaurants.
There is more to Barbados than beaches, and this also includes various family-friendly activities. Perhaps you want to take on the seas like a pirate? The family can board the Jolly Roger I, complete with pirate sails, rope swings, planks to walk and BBQ buffet - there’s even swim stops on the way, who will walk the plank? You can also take a different approach to seeing the ocean and head out on the Atlantis Submarines Barbados, which takes passengers to a coral-encrusted shipwreck to see tropical fish up close - who will find Nemo?
Being such a history-rich country, immersing the family in some of this unique culture is a must. Whether you visit a plantation house, wander around Speightstown and enjoy the historical architecture or head to the Barbados Museum, which has a kid-friendly exhibit, there’s plenty of ways to explore.

Many thanks to all!
We had a wonderful time at Casa Crystal Shores, this very special slice of paradise! We are hoping to come back someday soon. Patsy the cook took such good care of us, going to great pains to cook for us after we leave, leaving food for us on her day off and blending food for the baby. The location is perfect and the facilities beautiful and well kept. We felt safe with the security guard working nights!

Another a year done
As another stay at Casa Crystal Shores comes to an end we once again have to say a huge thank you to Dorothy and Wavney for keeping us in such fine style. West We Go just keeps getting better! A big thank you to Michael who cares for the garden as his own and a welcome to Romelle who watches over us at night. A slightly different team this year but just as enjoyable. Thank you all!!
