Keeping Barbados Beautiful – Going beyond the 5 star Barbados Hotels

Who can refuse that face? When you think of Barbados it is easy to envision the Royal Westmoreland Resort Barbados or any of the other 5 star Barbados hotels or Barbados holiday rentals sitting alongside beautiful beaches and crystal clear water.
