Duckwood,
Although I've sailed into
Barbados a few times (from
Canaries, etc.) and of course stayed on-board......I've also flew into Barbados for business and stayed on shore....
1) My most recent business trip was a few years ago, and I stayed at the Savannah
Hotel, in the Christ Church area......
It was a nice, clean, quiet
hotel, and the staff was friendly...
Not much of a "tourist hotel" at all, more of a combination "quiet hotel" / business-traveler hotel.....

I suggest you
research comments by recent guests, on hotel/travel sites, since I've heard some have found the staff rude....
2) I haven't stayed at the Grand Barbados Hotel, in Bridgetown, but have heard good things about it....
3) If you're looking for longer-term lodging / apartments, I have three thoughts....
a) contcating local
marinas, which will typically have on-shore lodging...or at least be able to recommend some....
b) in addition to contacting the Barbados dept of tourism, try their ministry of
trade / commerce, as they'll have some recommendations for long-term business travelers....
c) also try contacting some other local business people, such as surf shops, dive shops,
charter boat operators, etc. as they may also be of help....
Remember
google is your friend....
