Please help...looking for a Caribbean destination where $ will go a long way.......? |
Travel Info Trying to find a nice island/country to visit in August with my 14 year old son. We've done Jamaica several times...love it but looking for something new. We did Belize last summer..loved it! Looking into Puerto Rico but wondering if too Americanized and if my dollar will go a long way there. We don't do resorts or big hotels due to the price. Looking for some jammin reggae, roots and culture, friendly locals, little cabanas on the beach for little $, adventure, snorkeling, ect..... Looking to stay a few weeks and spending as little as possible for clean/safe accomodations so we can strech our visit out. Also, we like to travel around the country and stay in a few different places. Please Help! Thanks! Travel Tips Antigua is GREAT and if you loved Jamaica and Belize then be prepared to be totally satisfied in Antigua. If you visit in early August (the first week) that is the time of our annual Carnival Celebration. We have festitivies to celebrate our freedom from slavery. To back up what I'm proposing go to http://www.adventureantigua.com/......... and http://www.antiguanice.com for info on our carnival celebrations go here http://www.antiguacarnival.com/...... Others Check out Costa Rica http://costarica.com good luck s Try the Dominican Republic. You can stay East in the Bavaro/Punta Cana area (this area has some of the most beautiful beaches), South in the Juan Dolio/Boca Chica area(which is closest to the capital, but the beaches aren't as nice). Or, visit the capital, Santo Domingo (there are no beaches in the capital but alot of historical places to visit). North in Puerto Plata, Sosua and Cabarete area (famous for wind surfing) Rio San Juan, Cabrera (the nicest beaches of the area are in Cabrera I think) and surrounding mountains and scenery are gorgeous. Samana is gorgeous, but still a little hard to get to at the moment. Also the mountain area of Jarabacoa and Costanza, where you can try hiking and even white rafting. There is so much to do in this country and there are plenty of All Inclusive resorts all over the island and very affordable options. The music (Merengue) is very fun and the people are really friendly. |
