With clever planning: pay half the price for holidays in the Caribbean!

This winter and spring holidays in the Caribbean are at some of the lowest prices we've seen for many years. Many hotels are offering significant discounts for specific periods. On balance you can get palm trees, white beaches and the turquoise sea for as low as half the price compared to the peak season rate. It's just about choosing the accommodation and travel period cleverly.

Couples say "yes" in No-Man-Land

Robinson weddings in Tobago are getting more and more popular and have not been so cheap for many years. You have the choice of marrying in the jungle in front of a waterfall or on a secluded beach like “No-Man-Land” (Photo). A roof made of palm leaves, supported by tree trunks and decorated with exotic flowers, serves as the cathedral. And instead of arriving by car, the couples and their guests come across the turquoise blue water of the lagoon by glass bottom boat.

Many hotels adapted their rates to the travel customs. Specially in January and in the first half of April many Europeans and North Americans stay at home. To lure guests in these quieter weeks hoteliers are offering low rates for specific periods. This specially applies to Martinique and Guadelpoupe (see survey). 

In Guadeloupe - for example - Sucrerie du Comté can be had for as little as US $ 203/ £ 126 per person per week including breakfast, the Diamant Beach Hotel in Martinique is offering one week  from US $ 420 / £ 252 per person. That's up to 44% cheaper as you have to pay in the peak periods of the winter season. Also in Tobago and Grenada the price reductions of soms hotels from the medium to the higher range are of about the same order.

But also up market hotels are offering special deals to tempt potential visitors. In the noble Calabash Hotel in Grenada in January and from mid April you pay for the exquisite suites 50% less than  what aristocrats and business tycoons have to cash for them in the peak periods of the winter season.
