How much spending money should I take to Barbados?

Question

I am not staying at an all inclusive resort and will be there for a week. Also, I have read that it is better to take US dollars not Barbados dollars. Thanks in advance for the responses.

Answer 1

Depends on what u plan on doing while ur in Barbados. But $250 - $350 will not be enough  if ur renting a car + gas. Sporting activity's, night life and swimming with turtles will be WELL over $350 US i'm sure u gonna wanna take back stuff to show ur visit and have a great time so i would say atleast $1,000 US dollars and $1,700 if ur renting a car.....a car is $150bds a day which is $75US and ur gonna be having it for a week which if $525US for just the car.

Answer 2

Tough question. Depends on what you want to do here? Are you renting a car? If so $250-$350 US should work. If you are from the US, food will be expensive by your standards, even now. Taxi from the airport to the South coast is about $30.00.

Check sites such as www.barbados.org and totallybarbados.com. They should help you out.
