Fast track through your airport arrival.

It’s important to note that we don’t facilitate any of these services and are simply sharing insight.

Taxis from the airport.

Barbados taxis are experienced with transporting visitors from the airport to their accommodation. Standard fares are regulated by the government. In 2023, the fare to Holetown was around BBD120 but don’t hold us to it. You don’t need to reserve an airport taxi ahead of time. They’re usually on standby at the airport. Make sure to have your directions handy because most taxi drivers don’t use GPS on the island.

Hire us to pick you up.

Our private airport transfer service is fully booked until April 2024. We recommend considering Platinum Services or searching online for alternative recommendations. Please note that airport transfers are not a necessity as taxis are readily available at the airport and are government regulated.

We offer comfortable airport pick-up options starting at US$60 per direction, so getting to our place is a breeze. We also offer personal chauffeur services for ongoing stays. Drop us a line for more info and pricing, and get ready for a warm welcome to beautiful Barbados!

Can I walk around safely?

Barbados heavily relies on tourism and deeply values each of its visitors as they contribute to the island's economy and cultural exchange, making them an integral part of the Barbadian experience. Barbados, including the Holetown area, is widely considered safe* for visitors, but it's important to exercise common sense. The US Department of State lists Barbados as a Level 1 destination, indicating that visitors should exercise "normal precautions". However, like any destination, small incidents of petty crime can occur, so it's advisable to remain vigilant and take necessary safety measures. Nevertheless, many tourists and locals walk along Holetown in the evenings without issues, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
