This is my beautiful niece Rachel on the beach at St Lawrence Gap.

We spent the few days that we were there on the beach with the family.

Devon had fun too under the umbrella. My first experience of having to cover him from head to toe in Sun block!

On their last day as singles, Russell and Natasha come down and join us on the beach!

Matthew and my Mum relaxing in the apartment.

The waves are awesome! I surfed on all the way into the shore.

What I didn't realise was I would be tossed around and upside down as the wave broke!!! INTERESTING EXPERIENCE!!

I have much more respect for surfers now!

Paul and Devon at the Almond Beach Resort.

This was taken just hours before the wedding...the benefits of Barbados!!

Devon falls asleep in my sister's arms on evening at the resort.

We enjoyed one nice meal when we were there, a wonderful Chinese restaurant. (Apart from food on the day of the wedding).

All the other food that we bought to cook and that we ate in restaurants was not very good.

With the rest of the family staying in an all inclusive resort it didn't give much communal time for all us us together, a little disappointing. I suggest getting a villa!

Barbados was good because I got to see my baby brother get married to the love of his life.

They are so well suited.

St Lawrence Gap is one of the livelier places on the Island of Barbados, so we are told.

It is a pretty enough place and is quite lively. We got to fall asleep to the sound of singing and music which was good. (We didn't explore too much at night as we were recovering from 48 hours of flights!)

We didn't get to tour around the Island in the short time we were there so we can only comment briefly.

Compared to many places we have stayed I wouldn't put Barbados on our recommended list .

We enjoyed being here because of the wedding but I won't be rushing back again.

The water is beautiful, lots of waves on the South Coast and the weather is great too!

I think it suits people who like package holidays.

For the type of travelling we do we found it expensive and more importantly not value for money.

There wasn't much for kids to do at The Escape At The Gap.

The Almond Beach Hotel, on the other hand, had an awesome kids club, though it is even more pricey!
