When you look at a map of the Caribbean, you will see a bunch of little islands surrounded by blue waters, which include places that aren’t always household names, like Montserrat and Anguilla.
While some of the names may not be familiar, the Caribbean is a popular holiday region. Those little dots on the map often turn out to be ideal resorts. There are thousands of islands in the area, many of which are sparsely (稀少地) populated but with breathtaking landscapes.
The biggest challenge you might face in planning your trip is choosing where in the Caribbean to go. All of the nations feature excellent weather. Most feature beautiful beaches. You can enjoy the waters in most of the Caribbean nations and as is often the case with island nations, you will be welcomed warmly by the locals. Here is some information to help you.
Unless you can walk on water or you cruise the Caribbean, the best way to visit is to fly. Some destinations have more frequent and cheaper flights than others. You should do some comparison shopping on flights to the Caribbean. And if you are planning on flying there during the Christmas holiday weeks, it’s important to book as early as possible because prices will just keep going up as they get closer.
The Caribbean offers a wide variety of accommodation options. Check out the Caribbean hotels that are available to get a better idea of the various options. If you are on a tight budget, then the Caribbean could be challenging, as there are only a few cheap hotels and hostels that might help you save some money.
Many people see the Caribbean from a cruise ship. There is no shortage of cruises that will take you through the region. You can go online to find the cruise or holiday package that is right for you.
