The Caribbean is a Beautiful Place
Posted on Mar 03, 2010 under Central America Beaches | 10 Comments
We know the region of the Americas consisting of the Caribbean Sea; its islands & the surrounding coasts as the Caribbean, located southeast of North America, east of Central America, & to the north & west of South America and we also know that this is probably one of the most beautiful and delightful vacation destinations in the world for families with young kids, families with older kids, yound couples and more mature couples. There is something for absolutely everyone in the fantastic islands of the Caribbean.
The area which comprises over 7000 islands, coral reefs and islets and much more is located primarily on the Caribbean Plate.
The West Indies include the Antilles, {separated into the Greater Antilles bounding the sea on the north & the Lesser Antilles on the south, and east (including the Leeward Antilles)}, the Bahamas towards the north east of the sea and Bermuda lying a little further to the north in the Atlantic Ocean.
Geo-politically the West Indies are the ‘sub-region’ of North America & are arranged over 28 territories, which include sovereign states, overseas departments & dependencies. There was a time when a country called the Federation of the West Indies existed with 10 English speaking Caribbean nations.
A Caribbean vacation can most probably be best summarized as ‘fun in the sun’! A Caribbean vacation has something to offer to everyone, for families, couples on their honeymoon and even the more mature of couples, with its lovely white sand beaches, palm groves and splendid scenic beauty; it attracts water sport lovers, hikers, swimmers, sailors and divers alike!
Situated to the south & the east of Mexico and north & west of Venezuela, South America the Caribbean islands are undeniably some of the most beautiful islands in the world!
Cap Juluca is one of enclaves bordering the pristine white sand beaches to look out for in the West Indies. A few minutes’ flight from St. Maarten, it can be also accessed using a motor boat.
Spacious Moorish villas, five-star restaurants, striking landscaped tropical gardens, and hospitable and abundant service professionals provide a supreme level of extravagance.
Cap Juluca features an all inclusive range of leisure services, including a fully operational fitness center, private golf carts and bicycles, aqua golf driving range, bunker and putting green, croquet lawn, Junior Olympic-size swimming pool, a library, tennis courts with a full-time resident pro, and water sports, including snorkelling, wind surfing, water skiing, and sailing.

Look at the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. If you shop around you can get all inclusive deals (lodging, food and drinks) at a really nice ocean side hotel for cheap. A buddy of mine from New York goes to Sosua all the time. He stays at a beautiful resort called Sosua by the Bay and pays somewhere around $50 a day for everything. There are lots of resorts on the North Coast. Better prices if you just call and book yourself. Speaking a little Spanish helps. Have fun.

go to applevacation.com
I pulled up last minute deals from your area, and you have a lot of options for under $700 pp, $500 pp is pushing it a bit, if you’re set on that amt and can’t go more keep watching Cancun or (not in the caribbean but another great option) Puerto Vallarta, just make sure you go for all-inclusive, that way you won’t have food or drink expenses to worry about. Or keep watching the dominican republic. My suggestion is call a travel agent and ask if they have an deals for the week you are going (if you’re flexible a bit it helps) they may have square deals and they are awesome to get, you don’t know the hotel til you’re on the plane, but your guaranteed a certain type of hotel. Don’t let the agent try to fool you into thinking you can’t get anything for less than $1000′s pp- it’s just not true! my friend and I have never spent over $750 pp to go to mx or the caribbean.

The two inexpensive places in the Caribbean are Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

We just got back from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. It was a very relaxing vacation. Stayed at an all inclusive resort and it only cost $2,400 for 7 nights including airfare for two people. We flew out or Portland, Oregon. I don’t recommend going to any where in the Caribbean now as it is hurrican season. For the money it was a great vacation.

i highly recommend PUERTO RICO, and it’s sister island CULEBRA, overall it is relatively inexpensive to travel to and to stay there, once you leave the SAN JUAN area. i recommend renting a car for your entire trip and staying in the rain forest @ VILLA SEVILLA, then taking day trips to CULEBRA, VIEQUES,OSJ, AND ISLA VERDE in SAN JUAN.if traveling from the US you will not need a passport.
