What are alternatives from hotel chains in a similar price range if one is to avoid Hilton? Courtyard does not sound exciting, Fairmont costs 3-4x the Hilton and I question the value proposition, there are a couple of SLH properties which will join Hyatt but they seem to be quite expensive too (just a bit below Fairmont), and Hilton has nothing else. Sounds like slim pickings... we have to hope that the upcoming HGVC will be decent, but not sure when it will open but it's the only viable candidate in Barbados I see unless you want to spend $600-700 per night for SLH/Fairmont.
