Barbados is still the safest Caribbean island. Expensive yes but value for money. If you want low quality go elsewhere. The vibe is island living so don’t expect everything speedily. People are friendly, well dressed and well educated. It cannot be beat.

I am currently in Barbados , yes agree it is expensive, cost of living is crazy high, value for money it is not .Safety is a growing concern, just this week saw another home invasion and sexual assault on Brittish travellers in the St James district. Gun violence and robbery is fast becoming an issue if you read the local news .Would not recommend , there are many nicer and safer places in the world . Barbados is third world quality at prices comparable to Zurich.

I'm currently working remotely from Barbados an a lot has changed since these reviews. Yes, it is expensive. No, it is not dangerous. There are plenty of cafes to work from, things to do, English IS the official language, and Bajans are incredibly friendly and welcoming to foreigners. They are encouraging remote workers to apply for the Welcome Stamp which allows you to live and work "in paradise" for a year. It really does feel like you're living in a dream. It's a beautiful island!
