You can order eggs done how you like them but they don’t always mention that. Dinners (all inclusive) were very good, at least 3 choices for your main, chef’s soup/salad &...

The area around the property and leading to the beach is a bit dirty. But you can't beat the value of this place! Paradise Beach is one of the very best in Barbados and to have...

I also paid $65 to get to the Melbourne Apartments from the airport so that is also a waste. Plus the Uber to get to the new place was an additional $40. I have been...
