How much does it cost to travel in Caribbean?
Many of the destinations in the Caribbean are commonly regarded as honeymoon or luxury holiday destinations. However, the luxury resorts are only a small amount of what these colourful countries have to offer. Those wishing to holiday in style may arrive at Barbados or The Bahamas where a luxury room can leave a $350 hole in your bank balance. In Jamaica or Saint Lucia, a deluxe room costs around $55 a night.
The cost of travelling in the Caribbean really depends on your reasons for visiting a particular destination. Be it: snorkelling in The Bahamas, partying in the festivals of the Dominican Republic, watching the dolphins in Jamaica or simply relaxing on the stunning beaches of Barbados, in the Caribbean you really can't go wrong.
