Currency is Barbados dollars (usual exchange is 2 BD for 1 USD)- You may pay in USD but usually receive change in BD. Area directly around the resort is very active and considered safe. ============ Restaurants Car rental optional - bus service good - drive on same side as in UK Southwinds is on both sides of the road. Bridgetown very busy traffic - like Manhattan -go once and make a day of it and do not go back.

BC,
Itotally agree with your last sentence. We absolutely adored our only trip to Barbados but the only negative of the entire trip was our time in Bridgetown. Unfortunately, we had to go there to do an excursion we wanted to try.
It was like driving around any other large city and not knowing where you were going, but doing it all on the ‘wrong’ side of the road. In retrospect, a taxi in and out would have been the better choice.
Otherwise we loved our trip and all we saw and experienced there. Not St. Maarten, for sure, but still a great vacation venue. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
