Question

We want to go to the Caribbean but we're open for ideas.

Answer 1

I'm not sure where you're coming from. I'm from Michigan and over the last decade (plus), I've done quite a bit of traveling to various places in the Caribbean, Mexico, and to Costa Rica. Generally, the airfare is half the cost of the trip. From experience, some of the most inexpensive places I have been include the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and parts of Mexico(like Cancun or Cozumel). My favorite place is Cozumel- very laid-back atmosphere with great snorkeling/diving and enough activities, bars, restaraunts to keep you busy for a week or so. Don't know what your definitiion of "cheap" is so a couple of basic hotels to check out in Cozumel are the Casa Del Mar and the Hotel Barracuda. Went to Negril, Jamaica a few years ago all-inclusive in March for under $600 per person and stayed at the Hotel Sam Sara (which was like a one star hotel but was adequate for us). Sam Sara is on the cliffs with no beach, a small pool and little activity (which was actually nice); the food was okay but the meals got routine and boring so we simply walked across the street for breakfast at Choices or went out to one of the bar/restaraunts (LTU and Kayuba were good). Best thing about Sam Sara is that it had a sister resort-Legends-on the beach so if you stayed at either you could take the free shuttle to the other resort and spend the day(and eat, use the facilities, etc. like anyone staying there) which we regularly did; when we had our fill of the busy beach and being "solicited" by the locals (because the beaches are public anyone can roam them thats why cliff beaches are quiter/more private) we returned to our quiet little resort. Dominican Republic and Cancun are also places that offer good deals because they can offer cheaper prices due to the large number of tourists they bring in; Cancun is for the person that likes the beach and loves to party and the Dominican may be best for the person that just likes to stay at their (usually quite luxurious) resort. Look at www.gocozumel.com or www.negril.com or www.dominicanrepublic.com and www.cancun.com to help you out. If I can be of any more help, message me.

Answer 3

Where do you live?
I suggest the beaches in Asia (if you don't live that far), because you can really stretch your dollar (the cost of living in most of them is low compared to, say, the United States), I assure you.

Mexico (Acapulco) is cheap as well.
