To those who've been to Barbados, what money do you take USD or Barbados Dollars... it's just I'm not sure and I can get a much better rate on USD than I can on Barbados Dollars, as I can only get the latter at the Travelex in the airport with their sucky rates and can pre-order the USD with a good rate.

USD. Pretty much everywhere accepts and uses USD (including cabs in my experience) but you may get your change back in Bajan Dollars from smaller outlets.

Thanks,

Yup, USD definitely your best bet by a long shot. Everywhere accepts them, but you'll mostly get your change in Barbados Dollars (mainly 'cause the Bajans are a canny bunch and like to hold onto US currency...).

splendid, thanks very much to you both
