A Vacation in the Caribbean Sun

By: Winifred Holstone

Nothing tops the Caribbean when it comes to vacation destinations that emphasize having fun in the sun. Located to the southeast of Mexico and northwest of Venezuela, the Caribbean is an area in South America where the waters are a stunning blue and the sun is always hot. Traveling to the Caribbean offers something for everyone, from water sports and swimming to hiking and diving, or even just relaxing on the white, sandy 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.

You may have given up on your own Caribbean dream, assuming that the price is just too high. But, what if you knew how to spend less on your dream vacation? What if you found a way to travel to the Caribbean without spending every one of your hard-earned dollars?

A discount Caribbean vacation. What a great idea!

Listed below are several lovely hotels where you can experience the beauty of the Caribbean, while keeping your travel expenses within reason:

Anguilla Glamour and Style

Nestled in the most northerly point of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is the choice of those who look for real glamour in their island vacations. Anguilla exudes charm, romance and excitement.

Rendezvous Bay Hotel and Villas may not have all that style and glamour, but what it lacks in that department, the hotel makes up for its location and unbelievable rates (starts at $130 while a villa costs $275). This Caribbean resort hotel has 46 rooms, all sitting directly on 50 palm-laden acres, including a one and a half mile long sugary sand beach. The resort has been recently refurbished, offering white tile floors and simple rattan furnishings, and is divided among a dozen low-rise buildings.

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 Preference -- Antigua

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.
