With everything that’s going on now, you deserve to go on that dream vacation of yours more than ever. There are so many things to think about and iron out when planning so, this blog aims to shed some light on some crucial details.
Where in the Caribbean?
The Caribbean is a vast region with endless places and things to see. If your primary goal is chilling and relaxing on the beach with cocktails, you’ll be fine anywhere here. That being said, there are always better places that may suit you more than others. Do your research and pick places that have direct flights with home, more activities for you to try, and are budget-friendly to make your holiday much smoother and easier.
When is the best time to visit?
Any time spent in the Caribbean seems like time well spent, but if you want to make the best of it, it is recommended that you plan for early springtime. Usually, this falls from November to April; you’ll get cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and more sun. This period of time is also the most popular for travel in this region.
How to stay within your budget?
It is easy to forget all your worries and splurge a little more than you originally intended to once you’re having island fun. Booking ahead can save you tons of money and time for hotels and Caribbean Island flights. Pick an affordable destination such as The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, or Puerto Rico and set aside money for international connecting flights as well as internal flights as it is easier to get around the Caribbean region by air. Airlines such as interCaribbean Airways offer affordable flights to almost every Caribbean destination.
How far in advance should you book?
If you’re a last-minute person whose method is to frantically browse through countless websites to find the perfect deal, you’re beyond help. For the rest of you, the sweet spot for best airline deals is 99 days before departure. Basically, a little over three months. That way you can lap up all the advanced booking offers from all all-inclusive Caribbean island hotels as well. Once you’re done with all the packing and booking you have time to do some shopping for your holiday wardrobe too!
