i have actually been in touch with a Chabad rabbi there. He is currently out of the country due to visa issues but is still trying to arrange minyanim in his absence.
Interesting. I couldn't find anything online when I checked a few weeks ago

I thought the shul functions on Friday nights during the wintertime. Is that not still the case? I guess it's still not much, but it's something.

When I go to Barbados, I stay at Turtle Ridge Apartment (via AirBnB)  -- nicest beaches there (very upscale area)- next to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion. (West Coast St. James area)

Do your research before selecting your location, as the Southern area beaches are not so nice for swimming, and too close to the slums.

Note, starting October 1st, Barbados is instituting a $70 airport departure tax.

Officially you are not allowed to bring any meat unless you procure a permit + $15 fee  (contact vetservices@caribsurf.com )   http://gisbarbados.gov.bb/blog/permits-needed-to-bring-meat-and-meat-products-in-personal-baggage/

They have kosher meat at The Gourmet Shop, but I would advise calling them to verify stock:

Make sure you have your proof of accommodations - they are extremely strict about that.

when you say meat are you referring to cooked or raw or both?
