Bliss All Inclusive was a serious creeper that really made my Crop Over experience complete. An absolutely gorgeous venue; a very seXy, well-dressed crowd; lots of drinks and sweet music. Once the promoters iron out the food issues (although it tasted really good), this party will be a sure HIT!

Bliss at Sweetfield Manor Historic Bed & Breakfast was the best venue ever! What a spot for a wedding - even a waterfall - best Bliss ever. Congrats to the organizers

Bliss All Inclusive WAS hot! It was our first and it lived up to every expectation. The venue was a real eye opener, who ever knew such a place existed in St. Michael, what a spot! Exceptional crowd, great music - food lines were a bit too long but it was so breathtakingly beautiful! The Best of Barbados indeed! We'll be there next year!

Bliss Party was the party- very cool. Just so nice. Very sexy gentlemen and the night was perfect. Open dance floor had the best view on the island, food was great, drinks even better. Sweetfield Manor B&B was a real find, can't wait to go back!

Bliss was a Blast! What a beautiful location at Sweetfield Manor B&B. Who knew. Great location and views, food and drinks. The music was pumping! Can't wait for next year! Hope they have it there again.

True Bliss, what a beautiful evening. Beautiful people, the food was great, music non-stop. What a surprise that Sweetfield Manor is a Bed and Breakfast, it is this jewel nestled in tropical splendor. We loved it so much we decided to spend a few nights, fantastic private pool, morning delightful brunch, and Anne and George Clarke make the experience one in a lifetime.

Bliss was a "Best". The ambiance was great, food was delicious (when i finally get it!!), the music was pumping and the people weren't bad to look at...some real nice eye candy. Bliss will definitely be on my list again next year.
Just have to say Cohobblopot was a real disappointment. |

I have to say Bliss was a terrible disappointment. The lighting was terrible...People who dressed up to go to this "Exclusive" event would have wasted an outfit for no one saw it if you arrived at night. The bar as usual was terrible service, one bar tender in particular was RUDE. I know I arrived there at 6pm but there was NO food but Sushi left. Women were fighting for food, I assumed this was an uptown event but clearly not by that food fight that continued to ensue throughout the night...I felt like I was waiting in line at a soup kitchen except there was no line...there was a MOB!
LARA for me next year...I was lucky to try them both and ..clearly the promoter of Bliss that said he fashioned his party after a Jamaican all inclusive rather than a Trinidadian one should have taken notes...the food at Lara's fete, the service, the people, the lighting, the entertainment..and the vibe was GREAT.... |

Bliss at Sweetfield Mannor was a blast! Who knew a Bed and Breakfast by day could turn into a hot dance party by night?! I was there on time and got food with no problems, and it was really really good. I wanted to leave all the time I could for dancing! And I found a bar tender who made amazing martinis - Lucky me! :-) People were so friendly, looked great, and all just wanted to have a good time.

Bliss was nice...nice venue, good drinks and nice crowd. However the food was an issue. The little hors d'ouevre plates of food that ran out only a few hours in was not cool considering it was suppose to be an "ultra all inclusive" fete! Booze cruise always the bess!!!!

Booze cruise is only reserved for foreigners it seems, no bajans can get a ticket easy, never saw where and when to get tickets...and when you look at the pics, its all foreign people, so it would be ridiculous to rate this SMALL fete, for a limited people that was not really open to the public......bun fire on that!.....when it is open to everyone, then it should be rated...

Booze cruise had nuff woman tickets at the gate that I saw for sale by others patrons but yes I agree those tickets are hard to come by even for Bajan folks. It is still the most organized party, pampering the clients to coconut water, fish and bread and coconut flavor snowcone before boarding the vessel. The water slide and hot crowd during the ride and then the after performances still puts it up there. The boat can only hold so much people by order of the captain.

Did anyone find a piece of me on the Booze Cruise, cause I lost my mind on dat boat. Hands down the best Crop Over event I attended.
Bliss ambience was fantastic...they just need to work on the food and the lines. Frazzled was good, but the crowd wasn't vibesy. It's their first year, so I'm sure it'll be better with time. Bathsheba was good; I expected a more Lara-esque feel. The food was bleh. Crack of Dawn was great. The doubles man get 5 stars. That was boss. I had 4 doubles there and took to go! |
