Caribbean
Travel by John Gulick II
When it comes to vacation destinations
that are all about having fun in the sun, nothing beats the Caribbean.
Situated just to the south and east of Mexico and north and west of Venezuela,
South America where the waters are clear and the sun is hot, a Caribbean
move around vacation has something for you - whether you are one for water
sports, hiking, swimming, snorkling, and just plain frolicking in its white
sand beaches.
But traveling to a hot destination
like the Caribbean can be quite expensive, and for this reason, many people
balk at the idea of a Caribbean travel. Indeed, why spend so much on a
single vacation when you can visit much less expensive vacation destinations?
Never mind if these places don't even come close to what a Caribbean travel
does for you.
Ah, but what if we told you
that there's a much better way to spend a pleasure trip? What if we had
said to you that you can go on a Caribbean travel vacation without having
to spend a lot of your hard-earned cash? A Caribbean travel for less! Now,
there's a miracle.
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 caribbean known
for the flash and glamour of many of its resorts. For this reason, the
island is a popular Caribbean get around destination for many visitors
who want to pamper 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 area,
the hotel makes up for its location and fantastic rates (starts at $130
while settlement costs $275). This Caribbean travel bureau resort hotel
offers 46 rooms, all sitting directly on 50 palm-laden acres of fronting
a 1 ½ mile long sugary powder beach. The resort has been recently
renovated, offering white tile floors and simple rattan furnishings, and
is divided among a dozen low-rise buildings.
Another worthy hotel group
is Ku, its name meaning "sacred place" in the Arawak Indian language. With
room price starting at $295, this 27-suite hotel overlooks Shoal Bay East
and are South Beach-chic, with minimalist white décor, air conditioning,
and full kitchens.

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 places 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. 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.

Seniors:
Seeking Sandy Escapes? Search the Caribbean by Jennifer Smith
Travelers of all ages can enjoy
a visit to the Caribbean, but some islands are better suited to certain
kinds of travelers than others. For example, younger travelers may want
to search out places filled with hot nightspots, while those with families
will want to choose islands where children can feel welcome. Senior travelers,
on the other hand, can feel at home on almost any island in the Caribbean.
The biggest things to consider
when planning a vacation to the Caribbean are the activities you'd like
to pursue during your stay. Active travelers may wish to hike, sail, or
snorkel. Different islands offer all of these activities, though some are
known for snorkeling while others are better known for their nature trails.
Still others may have a reputation for all-inclusive resorts and beautiful
beaches.
Travelers searching for senior-friendly
island activities can choose from the following, or explore other options,
like seniors cruises and group trips.

Beaches: The Caribbean
is known for its stunning beaches, of course, but many seniors may not
find The Bahamas' famous Cable Beach as appealing as the tranquil shores
of Aruba. Anguilla is also known for its gorgeous views and quiet shores,
as well as for a somewhat more upscale atmosphere resulting from its British
heritage. Another island to consider might be Tobago, known as one of the
best spots for senior travelers and home to a number of beautiful beaches.
Golf: Golf is a sport
enjoyed by many people, and the Caribbean is home to some of the world's
best courses. Travelers visiting Jamaican resorts such as the Wyndham Rose
Hall and the Ritz-Carlton, or Aruba's Tierra del Sol, for example, will
have the chance to play at courses created by world-class designers. The
Dominican Republic, too, is home to famed courses like the Teeth of the
Dog.
Spas: Another great
way to relax during a vacation is by visiting a spa. Spas may not specifically
target seniors, but relaxation is great for travelers of all ages. Couples
can enjoy a spa together, or one can relax and be pampered while the other
explores the resort's other amenities or nearby sites of interest. Indulgent
spa opportunities can be found on just about any island, from the French/Dutch
St. Martin/Maarten to tiny Saba, though frequently spas are a part of a
larger hotel.
Casinos: Gambling
can be a fun way to spend an evening after an active day. The sister islands
of Antigua and Barbuda offer a relaxing vacation to travelers by day, while
at the same time providing a bit of nightlife. Similarly, the Dutch desert
of Aruba has more than 10 casinos - many of which open in the early afternoon,
though they don't close until dawn. For those looking for a bit of Latin
flare, Puerto Rico is home to a few casinos as well, though these do have
to follow some U.S. laws - most notably gamblers are restricted from drinking
while playing games.
There are also plenty of
ways to customize a vacation, and seniors are often given the tools to
do just that. The AARP can help seniors to get discounts on travel, as
well. Just remember to ask for a discount, as most places do not offer
it to customers first.
Travel to the Caribbean can
be full of active adventures, but it's easy to find a bit of peace and
quiet during your stay.

Travel Deals And Information by Frank Johnson
If you want to travel to the
Caribbean, you have many options to choose from. Your Caribbean travel
destinations include:
# Antigua and Barbuda # Haiti
# Aruba # Jamaica # Bahamas # Martinique # Barbados # Puerto Rico # Cayman
Islands # St. Kitts and Nevis # Cuba # St. Lucia # Dominica # St. Vincent
and the Grenadines # Dominican Republic # Trinidad and Tobago # Grenada
# Turks & Caicos Islands # Guadeloupe # Virgin Islands
Each destination offers its
own experiences and exotic ambiance. Use this guide to learn about the
Caribbean and what you need to know before you disembark on your trip.
Caribbean Weather
Most people travel to the
Caribbean because of the region's amazing weather. Sunny with a steady
breeze, the Caribbean provides ideal weather for hours of sunbathing and
frolicking in the ocean. All islands, for the most part, offer the same
climate with slight variations in weather patterns here and there (and
the occasional tropical rainfall), making any island you select an ideal
destination for your tropical paradise.
However, the majority of
the Caribbean is within a hurricane belt. This means that during certain
times of the year, the Caribbean can be hit by hurricanes. The official
hurricane season in the Caribbean is June 1st to November 30th with August
to October being peak months. Now even though the hurricane season is smack
dab in the middle of prime summer vacation time, you need not worry. With
technology today and weather tracking, it's now possible to identify when
a hurricane or major storm will hit. So, if you're planning a Caribbean
travel trip, find out what the current hurricane season is like and how
the island of choice will fair during it.
Southern islands such as
Barbados and Aruba, on the other hand, lie outside of the Caribbean hurricane
belt and almost never fall victim to hurricanes. If you don't want to worry
about planning your Caribbean trip around the hurricane season, the southern
islands of the Caribbean are the best way to go.

Caribbean Activities
Each Caribbean destination
has its own terrain and landscape, providing its own unique activities.
Almost all destinations have amazing beaches, but some also have tropical
rain forests and mountains. Puerto Rico, for example, has the only rainforest
that's part of the U.S. National Parks system. Aruba, on the other hand,
is one of the only islands that offer a non-tropical environment, offering
dryer surroundings. So, depending on your Caribbean travel destination,
your activities are limited to the natural makeup of the island. But in
general, your activities will include sunbathing, playing in the ocean,
nature hikes through the lush terrain (if available), trips into town to
purchase the local merchandise, and experiencing the island nightlife.
Caribbean travel destinations
are the key to a tropical getaway. With many island destinations to choose
from, all offering optimal weather and relaxing activities, the Caribbean
is definitely a destination to put on your list of places to visit.
