<h3>bahamas or barbados which is the better option?</h3>
I am a single female looking to spend a relaxing vacation in the caribean. I have narrowed down my choices to either bahamas or barbados for sometime during the fall of this year. Which destination is right for me? I really like the wyhdham resort in bahamas but if barbados is better let me know. Suggestions?
<strong>Barbados best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by jenna</i><br/>Barbados is probably more expensive but I lvoe Barbados! If you want that true caribbean feel with steel drums and authenticity. I hate the Bahamas because it's so touristy and American-ized, you might as well go to Florida, it's the same thing. Doesn't feel true caribbean at all, especially since it's more families with young kids, which I find bratty and don't want running all around me.</p>

Barbados is one of the more populous and prosperous Caribbean islands. Political, economic and social stability have given it one of the highest standards of living in the developing world.
It is a centre for financial services and has offshore reserves of oil and natural gas.
In recent years a construction boom has taken hold, with new hotels and housing complexes springing up. The trend accelerated as the island prepared to host some of the key Cricket World Cup matches in 2007.
However, a shortage of jobs has prompted many Barbadians - more often known as Bajans - to find work abroad. The money that they send home is an important source of income.
Most Barbadians are the descendants of African slaves who were brought to the island from the 17th century to work the sugar cane plantations.
Limestone caverns, coral reefs and a warm climate tempered by trade winds are among the island's natural assets. Barbados is relatively flat, with highlands in the interior. </p>
