barbudaful guest houses

There are many guest houses on Barbuda – more than are listed below. But currently many of the village homes that were informal guest houses are being rented out on a longer term basis to visitors working at Barbuda Ocean Club and other development projects, so your choice of rental is limited and in some cases more expensive than it was. For affordable guest accommodation on the beach we have Frangipani Eco-Lodge on the north-west Atlantic ocean coast and the popular boutique hotel Barbuda Cottages on the south, both locally owned. Try the tourism office if you want more contact numbers or info on other houses.

Useful info: there are two electrical systems in Barbuda – 220 or 110 – some houses have both. Depending where you are coming from, you may need adaptors for your equipment. And there are three types of water supply in Barbuda – government or ‘piped’ water which might only be on at certain times; harvested rainwater cisterns, and wells. Some guest houses have one or both or all three, you may need to know if you can drink it especially if you don’t want to buy bottled drinking water. Some houses do not have hot water showers and many do not have a/c because we have the breeze to keep us cool, but all have friendly helpful owners who will do their best to make your stay comfortable.
