I have been to Barbados twice. Please be warned that the worst thing is that if UR walking downtown or in any tourist area, U will be asked 7 times a minute if U want a taxi! I was asked within 5 seconds of getting out of a taxi at my destination! Also when reaching to open the door of a department store!

On the other hand, you are safe when you walk downtown or in any tourist area!!! I would take being asked if I want a taxi multiple times to feeling like I am not safe or that I would get robbed!!
Touche'!
However, I went to some festival in Holetown one night by taking the bus from the Hilton to downtown, then had to walk 2.5 km/ 1.5 miles, partly thru a slum, to the other bus. When riding the 2nd bus, I realized that my wallet was missing! Darn it, that time I should have hired a taxi !
Two months later I got a call from the Hilton that my wallet minus BB$170 cash was found by a security officer in a bush at a bank. He knew I had been a Hilton guest because my keycard was still in my wallet!
