Time before home flight - 5hrs suggestions ?

[hazel80]

Does anyone have any suggestions as what to do in Barbados prior to flight home, we dock on 4th Feb and leave ship around 9am but our flight is not until 5pm. We are looking for either a hotel with pool, luggage storage and towels, or any other ideas? There is only two of us. Wondered if the Boatyard provided luggage storage and towels. We will need to shower and freshen up prior to flight. Thankyou:confused:

We were just at the Boatyard last Saturday. After disembarking the ship at 8:45am we took a taxi to the Boatyard and arrived soon after it opened at 9am, dragging our luggage, nary a towel in sight! For $25pp (with $20 returned to a card useable for food/drinks), we had access to everything including beach chairs, umbrellas, sun beds etc. As for our luggage, they directed us to leave it in a corner, but our group was sunned out after a week on the Wind Star, so we mostly hung our on the deck drinking our $40/couple worth of beer in full view of our luggage. As for towels, the lovely lady in the small shop offered towels for rent - $10 deposit with $6 back when the towel was returned. It was a great way to kill the 8 hours until our flight. The $15 fee mentioned by many cruise passengers is only for those "on a cruise." Since we had disembarked and were headed to the airport, not back to the ship, we paid the "locals" fee.

I would consider a day room.
