A Vacation In The Caribbean Sun
By Winifred Holstone
When you think about fun in the sun, nothing tops the Caribbean. This heavenly locale is found southeast of Mexico and northwest of Venezuela in South America. In the Caribbean, the sun is always shining and the waters are crystal clear. It’s a place that really does offer something for everyone. Whether your idea of the perfect vacation involves swimming, diving and water sports, hiking and sightseeing, or just lazing on the beach, you’ll love the Caribbean.

But traveling to a warm destination like the Caribbean can be quite expensive, and for this reason, many people shy away from the idea of Caribbean travel. Indeed, why spend so much on a single vacation when you could visit much less expensive vacation destinations? Of course, many of these other places don’t even come close to what Caribbean travel offers.

If you dreams are whispering “Caribbean”, but your bank account demands something less exotic, take heart. What if you were told that you can have your piece of paradise without having to spend all of your hard-earned money?

A discount Caribbean vacation. What a great idea!

Below are several attractive hotels where you can keep the island flavor high and the prices at a bare minimum while on a Caribbean travel vacation:

Anguilla Glamour and Style

Anguilla is an island known for the style and glamour of its many resorts. The most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is a popular Caribbean travel destination for visitors seeking the unequalled excitement, charm and romance that the islands are known for.

Rendezvous Bay Hotel and Villas is not the most glamorous of resorts, but it does offer a spectacular location and remarkable rates. Rooms at this Anguilla destination start at just $130, while villas can be found at only $275. Situated on 50 palm-laden acres, this Caribbean resort hotel offers 46 rooms in a dozen low-rise buildings. The recently refurbished resort boasts white tile floors, simple rattan furnishings and a one and a half mile stretch of sugary sand beach.

Another remarkable Anguilla hotel group is Ku, which translates to “sacred place” in the Arawak Indian language. It really is a heavenly spot, with 27 suites overlooking Shoal Bay East. The South Beach style accommodations provide guests with minimalist white decor, air conditioning and full kitchens. Room rates start at Ku start from $295.

Antigua is for Lovers

The island of Antigua is located just south of Barbuda, another popular Caribbean travel destination. Antigua is self-promoted as a “luxury Caribbean travel escape”, and with good reason. The many hotels and resorts located around the coastline are favored by honeymooners visiting the romantic Caribbean.

While you don’t need to be on your honeymoon to enjoy Antigua’s island charm, the Cocobay Resort’s location on a hillside facing the Caribbean Sea makes for a very romantic atmosphere. The idyllic hotel is comprised of 47 Creole-style cottages in soft pastel tones with rates that are very affordable at $240.
