Caribbean Vacations

Find whatever it is you are looking for – balmy weather, clear blue skies, glorious seas, luxurious lodgings, fine food, sports, sights, entertainment, even lazy days for lovers, all under the warmth of the Caribbean sun. When it comes to vacation destinations that are all about having fun in the sun, nothing beats the Caribbean and has something for everyone -

It’s a bit difficult to describe the Caribbean in geographic terms. Just know that the region is actually a group of islands, territories, and countries located just south and east of the Gulf of Mexico and right in the middle of the Caribbean Sea north and west of Venezuela, South America. The following are the islands that are the favorite Caribbean travel vacation destinations since time immemorial:

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 doesn’t 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, located in the Castries area of the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia.

The resort offers two properties – St. Lucia Regency Golf Resort and Spa, a couples-only resort of over 200 acres of rolling hills and a beautiful half-mile beach, and the Sandals Halcyon, another couples-only resort. Sandals Caribbean travel and life all-inclusive packages are geared towards awesome 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 you’re in Las Vegas as you pit fortunes with the house and maybe win a few chips here and there over a round of roulette. Then quench your thirst with a few glasses of sparklies as you laugh and talk and socialize to your heart’s content.

Besides fun and socializing, Caribbean travel and life also offers you a chance to get closer to nature. The Caribbean offers several eco-tourism where a guide takes you into the deepest rainforest reservoir where you can experience first hand some of the rarest and oldest species of flora and fauna found on earth.

Other activities you can enjoy in a Caribbean travel and life include:

Children’s programs
Cuisine
Golf
Health and fitness spas
Meeting and conventions
Participation sports
Sailing and charter boats
Scuba diving
Spectator sports

Weddings and honeymoons

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 don’t even come close to what a Caribbean travel entails.

Ah, but what if we told you that there’s 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, there’s 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 don’t have 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. 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.
