It is Crop over Time!!!
The Palms is 5km and 9 minutes drive to the Spring Garden Highway. Why is that important? Kadooment! A national festival of Barbados. It is more than a carnival. The crop over bands parade culminates on the Spring Garden Highway where there is a grand street party. Lots of music and lots of local food. You can step off the highway and immediately you are on Brandons beach! A long, white stretch of sandy beach. Local transportation from the Palms will take you to the highway.
The Palms is a private property, located in a suburban neighbourhood, 25 minutes away from the Grantley Adams International Airport.
