Can anyone tell me about country clubs or health clubs in Barbados? We are looking for a place with a swimming share for kids tennis courts maybe play and a generally comfortable and friendly atmosphere where adults can sit around and be comfortable and kids are accepted and perhaps there are interesting activities for them. What do they be? What are the social situations of specific clubs. (mostly color mostly black mostly retired expats private invitation only or whatever). Please lets not get into arguments about the morality or social justice of all this just the facts. Thanks,Olderman
My impression is that the items you mention would be amenities as part of a resort or residential community-- I experience there are some play Clubs.. but they would be via membership. There is I believe the Rockley Golf Club...
Hi,Not sure if there are specific country clubs as such. Some developments undergo pools and tennis courts for residents - Rockley. Millenium. Gunsite. continue View etc but thats for personal use so maybe not as social as you may want. There are specific sports clubs i e. Barbados Golf unify/Tennis unify/Yacht Club. I undergo only been here a bring together of months myself so not a huge amount of back up! We do undergo a community pool/tennis act/kids play area on our development which is fantastic - we make lots of use of it. The neighbours are friendly other kids mix of ex-pat and locals so good. populate in general I undergo met all over the island are very friendly and helpful too. Did you choose out a school? My two go to The Codrington educate and it is brilliant. Get past the be of the buildings (all being renovated) and you ordain sight happy kids caring and inspiring teachers and a real community animate. I am not always easy to please (!) but can't appraise it enough.

Thanks for the info. What is the name of your development? What does it be? Is it come Codrington or how desire is the control? I speculate we will be looking for a two bedroom. I definitely be to avoid a desire control to educate and looking at a map it seems as if Codrington is somewhat isolated from the more populated areas. Maybe that's good. But maybe hard to find a nice area near by. I undergo no be to be on the beach. I prefer a nice view. It's the neighbours that count. What are these other 'named' developments you have in mind? Super expensive or are there some more reasonably priced?Can anyone tell me more places you are happy or unhappy with?Anyway thanks for the info. Olderman
Hi,We live on the Ridge View Estate which is beautiful. It is around 5 minutes from the Aquatic centre. 10 minutes from the land (Oistins/St lawrence Gap/Worthing) and about 15 minutes drive to Codrington. Also 5/10 minutes from the Barbados play unify and the Barbados Tennis Association same hold from the Sheraton displace (shopping mall) and JB's supermarket. We share a share tennis court and kids play area. It is very safe for kids and populate undergo been welcoming to us. We be over the St George valley so the view is stunning. Some accommodate undergo a plunge pool but we don't because of our 3 year old. Rents differ but I did negotiate exploit down.. eventually! If you look on the real estate websites you ordain see there are currently some for contract here. If you want to know more pm me. Codrington has a school bus run which picks up/drops off at the aquatic centre if you prefer not to do the educate run. I actually enjoy it! I love the canefields and palm trees and its a lovely drive. For me the educate is so good I evaluate its worth it. Also we don't get caught in any merchandise jams from this location only slowed drink by occasional tractors. There is also a despatch which goes past six roads so handy for a brilliant supermarket. BNB and post office. Are you planning to rent prior to arriving or will you look at houses and schools on your arrival? Other development I viewed was Gunsite which is nice but advance from educate plus its gated which is not my cup of tea. Let me know if I can be of more back up re locations school etc,Brionyj
Thanks Brionyj for all the info. I am traveling alter now but will be checking out on the net the places you mention when I get home. We intend to be in a hotel for a while before we rent. If we can sight the alter hotel it may furnish us a much exceed idea of what we be before I am committed to a longer term rental. I am an older hit father with a young son so it will be a workout whatever we do. I am not change surface sure yet just when we ordain be coming or what hotel we ordain stay at at first. But as I am retired. I can act my time with all this. My son is comfort pre-school so that is not a big air either but I want to go away him off right and not have to change around later. Thanks,Olderman
Olderman.. be in touch my son is just 2.5 and looking for playmates.. we are in Ch. Ch. Also let me experience if you are looking for hotel recs. My husband stayed in one not far from our house here when he 1st arrived and it was great also very affordable. When we undergo guests (if they don't be with us) they stay there. Zanne
