Caribbean Hotels

A trip to the Caribbean is a dream destination for many people, especially if you are sick and tired of the chilling cold winter. For tourists, hotel accommodation eats up the hugest portion of one's vacation money or budget. Still, some would willingly pay the price to get the best of services, leisure and relaxation. Which hotel will best fit your needs, and more importantly, your budget?

Low Cost Caribbean Hotels

Yes, you can still enjoy the enchanting Caribbean islands whilst in a tight budget. Instead of staying in five star and luxury Caribbean hotels, you can stay in low cost hotels. Hostels, apartment hotels & self catering hotels are much cheaper, although dining services are usually unavailable.

Low cost Caribbean hotels often range from $12 to $60. They usually include free parking, 24 hour reception, security lockers and free breakfast. Internet access may or may not be available, depending on the low cost hotel. Some low cost hotels, however, have no available air conditioning in their hotel rooms, which can be quite disadvantageous, especially since Caribbean weather can get very hot.

Great low cost hotels include the Negril Yoga Centre (Jamaica), Van Villa (Jamaica), Surfer's Haven Guest House (Bahamas), A Piece of Paradise (St. Lucia), Rincon Inn (Puerto Rico), Hengsheng Garden Hostel (Puerto Rico) and Miller's Guesthouse (Trinidad and Tobago).

Mid Range Caribbean Hotels

Mid Range Caribbean Hotels are a few dollars more expensive than low cost hotels, but they provide you with more amenities and convenience. For starters, mid range hotels have better location and access than low cost hotels. They are often near shopping areas, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies and more, making their location strategic and ideal.

WiFi or Internet Access is usually available, as well as security lockers, 24 hour reception, free parking and air conditioning. Mid Range Hotel rates often range from $60 to $200. Great mid Range hotels include the Banana Shout Resort (Jamaica), Jackies on the Reef (Jamaica), Point Salines Hotel (Grenada) and Wind Chimes Inn (Puerto Rico).

High End Luxury Caribbean Hotels

If you demand the best, go to the best. Although not exactly the cheapest, you're to get the highest quality of service with luxurious Caribbean hotels. Luxury Hotels go $300 up. These hotels have all the leisure and entertainment you can imagine: golf courses, swimming pools, children's play centers, fitness rooms, gyms, cafes, tennis courts and amazing food. Luxury hotels more often than not have private white sand beaches, so you can enjoy the beach and the sea once you step out of the hotel. They provide the best views of the seascape, and give you the best sunsets and sunrises on the islands.

The Half Moon in Jamaica is arguably the best luxury hotel on the islands. Celebrities, royalty, presidents, heads of state and the church, couples and families have stayed here and come back home satisfied with Half Moon's luxurious accommodation and her infinite array of activities.

The best luxury hotels in the Caribbean are: Parrot Cay (Turks and Caicos), Beaches Resorts (Turks and Caicos) and Casa de Campo Resort (the Dominican Republic).
