Caribbean Vacation Zone

want to go around march. a friend suggested going to southern caribbean…i dont even know what places are there!

Then you need to do some research. Only you can decide what’s right for you out of all the options. Your library or bookstore has books on vacationing in the Caribbean. There are websites for vacationing in the Caribbean in general or for each island. Get out a map [Google Earth is great - it even has street-level views for some locations!]

A source that I use anytime I’m planning a vacation is TripAdvisor.com. It has destination guides as well as a list of hotels and resorts, along with comments from past guests, so that you can weigh the different factors according to how important they are to you.

The Southern Caribbean is more-remote than the Eastern or Western, so it will be a bit more complicated to get there and probably more expensive. Barbados, St. Lucia, etc. are common destinations and they do have AI’s.

You might consider a Caribbean cruise, but that, too, involves some research, as there are many, many options that you would need to choose from before you talk with a travel agent.

A travel agent will be able to help you book a vacation, once you know what you’re looking for, either on land or at sea.

Better hurry, though. March is a big travel time for school breaks, Easter, etc.

Coming back for R&R in January and want to go anywhere in the Caribbean. My wife and I are looking for an all inclusive resort for adults only. Would rather not go to a large resort, and am looking for great food. Also somewhere fishing is readily available.

Barbados is a beautiful island. Lots of lovely scenery and so much to do, morning noon and night. In Barbados you can never get bored because there is something for every type of person to take part in. Barbados is also romatic. Activites for kids and older ones…you will not regret visiting Barbados!

As it relates to accommodation, there is a lovely resort in Barbados called The Barbados Beach Club. This is along the South Coast and has a lovely beach view. I stayed at this resort and it was awesome!!

The activities that are included in this all-inclusive package are astounding.

Its just my husband and I going to get away.
I have already been to Jamaica and Mexico…looking for something different, inexpensive, but really nice!

go to a sandals or beaches resort in the caribbean. they’re in beautiful places and include meals and most water sports, including snorkeling.

is it better to go all inclusive or no?

Best to go all-inclusive…and Cuba is an amazing place to go to.
Check the links below and see which strikes you the most. You will have the most amazing time if you go. Most definitely! And, you’ll go back again and again.
Cayo Coco is a lot of fun and so beautiful. Tryp Cayo Coco is a fantastic resort. The Animación Team (Entertainment Team) will have fun with you.
Santa Lucia is also a nice area.

You can get great deals through www.tripcentral.ca or belairtravel.com (as well as the many other agencies)…do your shopping online and compare prices…then call the agency you want to go with and most likely they’ll match the lowest prices.

Have a great time!

My husband, a deployed soldier, and I are planning our next vacation. When my husband returns from his 15 month deployment, we want to get away and relax. We have been to several islands in the Caribbean and are open to going anywhere that has a nice beach, beautiful ocean, great accommodations, good food, and an abundance of drinks. Our budget will be between $3000 and $4000 for airfare from Indianapolis or Chicago and accommodations for 7 nights.

Any suggestions?

I am sure you are happy to have him home. You will need some time together! Here are a few options. Of course, the military does offer a handful of resorts for military personnel only(retired/active). I know there is one in Hawaii and one in Orlando. Outside of that, looking at your budget, there are a few areas you may consider. I would suggest an all-inclusive resort as that will take a way a lot of "other" expenses that you would have to plan for when travelling. Sandals and Beaches are great! However, they will be beyond your budget for a 7 night stay. You may try the Aventura Spa Palace in Riviera Maya. It is adults only! The rate for a 6 nt/7 day package(I used July) with airfare, airport/resort transfers, all meals/snacks/alcoholic/nonalcoholic beverages, resort tips, tours to Chichen Itza/Tulum/Coba/Ek Balam, and more! The rate is around $1554.00pp. Not too bad. You may also try Belize, I love the Victoria House – their web site is www.victoria-house.com. It is on Ambergris Caye – relaxing, great watersports, beautiful. Another area with great beaches is Punta Cana. There is the Excellence Punta Cana, another adults only all-inclusive resort! This option for 6nts./7days air, transfers, meals/alcoholic/nonalcoholic bevs and more willl cost around $1717.00pp. Of course there are less expensive ways to go, but these are all great 4 star(out of 5) resorts! Where ever you decide to go. Just enjoy one another.
