Caribbean Islands with the Best Value for Travelers

Those who dream of the perfect getaway to the US beaches know that the Caribbean offers the best bang for their buck.

Destinations like Jamaica and the Dominican Republic continue to be favorites for their ease of access and resort-packed resorts.

But they also offer cultural experiences in areas that have yet to be fully explored.

Plus, a handful of lesser-known islands in the Caribbean are worth the trip for their small crowds, pristine ocean, and rainforest backdrop.

1. Jamaica

There is no doubt that Jamaica is among the top destinations in the Caribbean. Packed with value-added offerings on the island, especially in the summer, it is an easy destination to book and go.

Negril remains the most convenient seaside city, with room types ranging from all-inclusive resorts to luxurious cliff-top cabins.

In the south, Treasure Beach boutique hotels offer comfort in an authentic Jamaican fishing village setting.

The island offers a host of tasty and affordable food and entertainment, as well as excursions that add to exciting outdoor adventures, whether it's river rafting or jumping into a blue hole.

2. Guadeloupe Islands

Growing in popularity, thanks in part to direct flights from major US airports including New York, Atlanta, and Miami, visiting the Guadeloupe archipelago means you'll receive five islands for the price of one flight.

For starters, one of these five islands, Les Saintes, is an archipelago that is home to one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean.

Jump to the different lots on daily ferries and enjoy the remarkable offer of white, pink, blonde, and black sand beaches.

Guadeloupe National Park on the island of Basse-Terre is a destination unto itself, with countless waterfalls, sulfur baths, and hiking trails to explore.

The best value is also found in the island's culinary scene, where Creole and French-influenced dishes, along with potent rum cocktails, are as tasty on the road as they are at the table.

3. Curaçao

Neighboring Aruba is a lesser-known destination to many, but it is packed with cultural and historical attractions and value-packed resorts.

The World Heritage city of Willemstad encompasses four colonial districts, including world-class museums and impressive architecture, while the white sand beaches and crystal clear waters of Westpunt on the West Coast can be reached in less than two hours.

Curaçao's dive and stay resorts are often ranked as the most valuable in the Caribbean, and the guesthouses also offer many daily diving and snorkeling options.

The island's location also means that it will not be threatened during hurricane season, ensuring less chance of rain or cancellation of a trip.

4. St. Lucia

Saint Lucia resorts know how to fully cater to tourists seeking ultra pampering on their honeymoon, in particular.

With spectacular views of the sea and mountains, scenic walks, national parks with sulfur springs, mountain climbing, and white sand beaches, the island also offers the best active trip to the Caribbean.

In addition to the all-inclusive resorts, the island's plantation houses-turned-hotels offer great value in less touristy areas like Laborie, as do inns in fishing villages, with less crowded beaches, local food, and history.

5. Caye Caulker

Enjoying the waters of the Caribbean, this small island off the coast of Belize has a reputation for attracting backpackers, but Caye Caulker offers much more than budget hotels.

The number of beachfront boutique hotels on the island is increasing, giving Caulker a unique combination of luxurious comfort in a relaxed Belize Island setting.

For starters, Caye Caulker has its own marine reserve facing the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef in the world, just 800 meters offshore.

With more flight options to Belize than in the past, like Southwest, it's easier than ever to get to this side of the Caribbean.
