You Can Afford a Caribbean Vacation
by Winifred Holstone
When it comes to vacation destinations that emphasize having fun in the sun, nothing tops the Caribbean. Located just to the south and east of Mexico and north and west of Venezuela, South America where the waters are a stunning blue and the sun is hot, a Caribbean travel vacation has something for everyone, whether you are one for water sports, hiking, swimming, diving, and just simply frolicking on its white sand beaches.
A vacation in paradise can be expensive. Many people dismiss the idea of traveling to the Caribbean for this very reason. They put their dreams aside and travel to a less expensive destination. Of course, no other place can come close to having what the Caribbean can offer.
Ah, but what if you were told that there's a much better way to spend a vacation? What if you were told that you can go on a Caribbean travel vacation without needing to spend a lot of your hard-earned money?
A discount Caribbean vacation. What a great idea!
The hotels and resorts listed below can make your dreams a reality, allowing you to experience island life in a big way, while keeping within a relatively small budget.
Style and Glamour -- Anguilla
The most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is an island known for the style and glamour of many of its resorts. For this reason, the island is a popular Caribbean travel destination for many visitors who want to bask in the undeniable charm, romance, and excitement 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.
Honeymoon in Antigua
Located just south of another popular Caribbean travel destination of Barbuda, Antigua promotes itself as a luxury Caribbean travel escape. Its many hotels and resorts located around the coastline are all favorites when it comes to honeymooning while visiting the Caribbean.
They say that Antigua is for lovers, but you don't need a honeymoon to take in the romance of this beautiful place. Just visit the Cocobay Resort and you'll be taken in by the incredibly romantic atmosphere. The resort is located on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The 47 Creole-style cottages are decorated in soft pastel tones, and rates begin at an affordable $240. It's a small price to pay for a true piece of paradise.
