Activities There are many
exciting activities available to you throughout the Caribbean. In fact, this is
one of the reason why Caribbean vacations are so popular among visiting
tourists. Because when you are on the islands, it doesnt matter who or
what you are the islands always have something to offer for everyone -
whether you are wanting water sports, hiking, swimming, diving, and just plain
frolicking in its white sand beaches. Caribbean vacations offer
all-inclusive resorts where you can enjoy everything for a single price. One of
the popular places that offer all-inclusive Caribbean vacations is Sandals,

beaches, a great scuba-diving program, water sports, and fitness centers.
If you like casino gaming, Caribbean travel and life offers you that as
well. Head on over to Belize, Puerto Rico, Jamaica where the groovy beats of
the island makes for an excellent island-flavored nightlife. Play a game of
chance and feel like youre in Las Vegas as you pit fortunes with the

Many people balk at traveling to a hot
destination like the Caribbean because it can be quite expensive. Indeed, why
spend so much on a single vacation when you could visit much cheaper vacation
destinations? Never mind if these places dont even come close to what a
Caribbean travel entails. Ah, but what if we told you that
theres a much better way to spend a vacation? What if we told you that
you can go on a Caribbean travel vacation without having to spend a lot of your
hard-earned money? A Caribbean travel for less! Now, theres a
thought. Below are four chic hotels where you can keep the island
flavor high and the prices at a bare minimum while on a Caribbean travel
vacation: Flash and Glamour - Anguilla The most
northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is an island
known for the flash 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 compelling charm, romance, and excitement that the islands are
known for.
Rendezvous
Bay Hotel & Villas may not have all that flash and glamour, but it
lacks in that department, the hotel makes up for its location and fantastic
rates (starts at $130 while villa costs $275). This Caribbean travel resort
hotel is located on two miles of white sand beach in Anguilla. The resort has
been recently renovated, offering white tile floors and simple rattan
furnishings, and is divided among a dozen low-rise buildings. Hotel
amenities include snorkeling, tennis, gourmet dining at Cedar Grove Restaurant
on a breezy verandah or just sit oceanfront, and nearby Smokey's on the beach
at Cove Bay. The hotel has complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas,
complimentary beach towels, two sunfish sailboats, three sea kayaks, a live
coral reef, an art gallery, a boutique, a game room (with billiards and table
tennis), and a conference room with giant TV and audio visual equipment. Next
to the beach, there is a large palm grove for picnics. Services include room
service, valet laundry service, in-room body and beauty treatments, and daily
ice and mineral water replenishment.
All rooms have ceiling fans,
Internet access, refrigerators, coffeemakers, hairdryers, clock radios and
private porches or balconies. TV's and VCRs are available on request for use in
the bedrooms. Honeymoon Favorite Antigua
Located just south of another popular Caribbean travel destination of Barbuda,
Antigua markets 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 on a Caribbean travel. While you dont have
to be on your honeymoon to enjoy Antiguas island charm, the
Cocobay
Resorts location on a hillside facing the Caribbean Sea makes for a
very romantic atmosphere. Newly opened in 2000, the Cocobay Resort is an
all-inclusive resort situated on the western coast of Antigua in the Valley
Church village, approximately 20-minutes driving distance from St. John's, and
30-minutes from V. Bird International Airport. The idyllic hotel is made of 47
Creole-style cottages in soft pastel hues with rates that are very affordable
at $240. Hybrid Beat Bahamas If you
want a decidedly patrician vibe during your Caribbean travel vacation, then the
Landing, a seven-room inn on Harbour Island is exactly for you. There are no
televisions, no phones, or Internet connections things that distract you
from the sheer beauty of the beach a few blocks away. And for only $240, you
can get one of the bay-view rooms, which offer the best views of the harbor and
comes with crisp white linens, terraces, and four-poster beds.
