Fleet View Guesthouse

Barbados


Right at the end of the road in Tent Bay, this place really has an edge of the island feel. It's a little ramshackle and could do with some maintenance but it's right on the water and the price is hard to beat. Minimum three-night stay. There are no permanent staff so call in advance.
