Well worth a visit. Antony Hunte is a charming man, showed us around his house and told us a lot of its history. He also serves the best rum punch I've had in barbados, and only 5BD, The garden is full of amazing exotic plants, plenty of seating areas to relax.

We took a taxi from downtown Bridgetown straight to Hunte's Gardens. We were welcomed by the guy who takes care of all the plants, where we paid and entered. It is literally breathtaking!!!! The pictures online DO NOT do Hunte's Gardens the justice it deserves!!! The whole time we walked through, we were in awe of it all. After we... More

Even though it was nice and beautiful, I thought the 15usd was completely ridiculous because it wasn't that big or anything excited, it was just very pretty but not worth 15 bucks if u ask me. I don't know why it's number one. The only reason I visited it was because trip advisor said it was number one. Well never... More

This is a magical place with the feeling that time froze a hundred years ago. The pathways wind around with several seating areas. I wish we had taken a picnic and some cold wine to enjoy although if I had sat down I would probably have slept such is the soothing affect if the gentle piano music

Another trip to Barbados would not have be complete without a visit to see Anthony Hunte and his amazing garden, probably as beautiful a garden as you will see anywhere, and its always just a little different each year. I Can't praise the garden or Anthony enough. A great host who is so interesting to talk to, and a garden... More

One of my reasons for visiting the East coast was to see Hunte's Gardens, and I am so glad I made this trip. This isn't a garden that has been designed by a committee, but one man's personal labour of love. There were an astonishing array of plants and tree's, including both a pink and a black pineapple, both in... More

This place alone makes a short stop in Barbados worthwhile. It is exactly as Anthony Hunte says, absolutely enchanting. The scale is awe-inspiring and the amount of labour that must go into it is mind-bogling. It's a must-see!
