Although the Caribbean is the preferred paradise of the wealthy, having fun in the Caribbean sun doesn't have to blow any traveller's budget. Fortunately, the Caribbean also offers financially friendly flights and hotels, perfect for people short on savings who wish to escape stress and snow.

The Caribbean is a place of colourful contrasts, appealing to every traveller in some way, from the beach bound to the cultural connoisseur. Visit the Caribbean's mecca of marvels and cultural complexity, where French, Dutch, Spanish and American influences interact and mix with ethnic island customs.

Top tour operators offer reasonable rates on all inclusive packages. Early birds booking all inclusives score significant savings, but penny pinchers can also purchase last minute sell offs, allowing even those low on dough to sip margaritas while basking on the beach.

Some of the Caribbean's most stunning and startlingly affordable destinations cater to the truly cash conservative.

JAMAICA

An island of beach bliss, where patties and Patois, reggae and relaxation, and the steel drum and renowned rum unite to form the perfect tropical holiday. At night, go berserk for Jerk and dine and whine at one of Jamaica's nifty nightspots, as this land of laxity truly offers enlivening yet inexpensive entertainment.

The majority of Jamaica's paradise proprieties reside in Ocho Rios, Negril and Montego Bay. Scheduled and charter air carriers offer service to at least one of Jamaica's three airports in Kingston, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, so flight selection is ample and fares are competitive and often cheap.

Staying at the DECAMERON MONTEGO BEACH, in Montego Bay is a delightful decision for sun worshipers wanting to jam in Jamaica for next to nothing. The Decameron hotel chain in the Caribbean offers economical but excellent service to charm travellers with genuine island hospitality.

Situated on a small, white sand beach and a short five minute drive from the airport, the Decameron offers lots of activities and amenities including tennis, non-motorized water sports, swimming pools, games, nightly entertainment, bicycles, select spa services, a buffet and yummy a la carte Creole restaurant and beach grill.

All 138 rooms offer at least partial ocean view, balcony, double bed and in-room safe. An all inclusive rate buys you limitless fun for a mere $218.00 per room per night, or $109.00 per person. Price may be higher, depending on availability
