    My girl got jokes! We public transportation shitty as ass. If you in St. Michael or Christ Church you good because there are multiple overlapping routes there so you guaranteed a bus. But the further north you go and if you live in parishes like St. Philip, At. John, St. Andrew or St. Jospeh - in the country - you're lucky if you've only been waiting an hour for a bus.

    Hey Liz..bang on description of my fav island ever. Yup service is usually great or terrible with little standards to balance it out, but saying that, I have never been to a Caribbean island that is as polite and proper as BDS. Maybe it's British occupancy (and it's influence still) brought an old world English attitude that actually blends well with the Island smoothness. The majority of populated areas are very safe to walk at night but like anywhere, best to walk smart (couples/groups) and think safe. There are so many new places since you posted this review like Nikki Beach Club in Speighstown which is a chic daytime lunch, chill mixed with beachfront. New restaurants are popping up every year with Salt Cafe on Rockley (Accra) beach being a personal fav as the chef and owner was a longtime big hotel chef and decided to move to her own small and intimate place creating amazing unique dishes. I am returning for my 6th or 7th visit in 2019 and am excited to see what changes have happened to the island since my last trip. Keep up the great reviews and keep digging deeper.

    Hey girl, I'm loving your vibes in this video! I have been to Barbados a few times but those visits have always been fairly restricted regarding travelling and actually experiencing the island. This is due to my trips which were family holidays where they tend to prefer staying in the nice hotels and relaxing as opposed to me who would love to get out and explore this beautiful place and meet new people! Do you know of/ could recomend any home stay possibilities? I need to mix things up and get to know the real parts of this beautiful island better, and hopefully make some friends along the way. hoping to come get a slice of this paradise in January 🤞🏽🙏🏽 any advice would be muchly appreciate:D

    • @LizNeptune
      @LizNeptune  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I don't think that's a fair response. No need to put on a show but you should be friendly and approachable when you are serving people food and so that they will come back to your business. I don't want a stranger who is mad at me handling my food. No one wants to go eat at a restaurant where the staff acts as though you are a burden. We're giving you our money, have a baseline of kindness.

    Hi Liz. Thanks so much for doing this video. I can't wait to get there. What's up with those dogs?LOL How about the buses? Do they run pretty regularly? Is there an abundance of organics on the Island? I don't go out to eat much anymore, prefer to do my own cooking. Occasionally I will go out to eat. Thanks again Liz.

    • @LizNeptune
      @LizNeptune  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Lol it sounds vicious but they were playing... I would say the buses run "regularly" depending on where you are. I've heard many stories about waiting for a bus that never comes (like in the country or in the night like 9 or 10). Fortunately I'm on the south coast aka a very commercial part of the island so there is a lot of public transportation. You'll have a lot of opportunity to get food and veggies to cook for yourself! However whether it's organic or not, I'm not sure. It's not like in the states where things are labeled and certified. I see things marked as "imported" but not organic. Who knows where that sh*t comes from?! I'm also almost certain Barbados has worked out a deal with the devil um.. I mean Monsanto, the world's biggest GMO seed provider.

    This video is spot on! Everyone knows the likes, but the dislikes were on point too. The customer service thing is a real problem, and I'm from there! There's almost a sense of resentment from some of those in the service industry, like they have a chip in their shoulder. Bajans need to understand that with more competition now, their friendliness is their meal ticket.

      Glad locals are starting to realize customer service on the island is an issue that needs to be dealt with. They really DO need to start treating their tourists better. I also got a strong impression of resentment, especially from those in the restaurant industry. It's like they're doing you a HUGE favor by serving you.

      Not sure how more competition effects it. Great serving skills and they could make some serious coin on the island. Perhaps owners and managers might try leading by example, earning the right to demand professionalism, but $$$ is still the best incetive...THEN it would be competitive!

    • @asmartbajan
      @asmartbajan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As a fellow Bajan, I totally agree. Being accustomed to poor service here, when I visited the US back in 1980 the first thing that struck me on visiting their stores was their awesome customer service.

    I would love to visit Barbados again. My parents took me and my 2 other sisters there in 1976 for a couple of weeks. They were researching geneology, while we girls swam on the beach. I remember the soft trade winds, clear water, friendly people. I bought mangos from a man who lived across the street from where we stayed, and paid a nickel each. We bought flying fish on the beach when the men came in with the catch, and cooked them. Parents took us to abandoned sugar plantations in a mini moke. I loved the beaches best.
