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 summer
and autumn many Europeans and North Americans stay
at home. To lure
guests in these quieter weeks hoteliers are offering low rates for
specific periods see survey
In
Guadeloupe - for example - Sucrerie du Comté can be had for as little as US$222 / £ 114 per person per week including breakfast, the Diamant Beach
Hotel in Martinique is offering one week from US $ 357 / £
182 per person. That's
up to 50% cheaper as you have to pay in the peak periods of the winter
season. Also in Antigua, Dominica, The Grenadines, Trinidad, Tobago and Grenada the price reductions of some 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
63% less
than what aristocrats and business tycoons have to cash for them
in the peak periods of the winter season.
