Barbados

Anyone know if Sam Lord's Castle is closed? Don't see it as part of any Island tours.

Sam Lords Castle as a hotel has been closed for several years. I've been here for 15years and I'm not familiar with it ever having been on any kind of organized tour. however you used to be able to drive up to the gates and pay an entrance fee to come on the grounds and go through the building.

 

I doubt it's been kept up so this is likely not an option at this point.

I remember going to Sam Lord's Castle as a child for a very chic, upscale luncheon years ago--it was the ritziest place on Barbados. I just visited the site 2 weeks ago and almost cried. Gates rusted and locked, overrun with weeds and tall grass--a sad, sad vestige of what once was.
