Winter Sun Breaks - The Caribbean

By : Robin Richmond

Booking a winter holiday and getting some sun can be the ideal tonic to beat the winter blues - and where better to head than the Caribbean!



It can be hard to choose the right holiday package to guaruntee a holiday of a lifetime, with prices becoming increasingly more competitive. In terms of destination, you're spoilt for choice between the popular islands of Barbados and Jamaica or the equally beautiful Dominican Republic or Grenada, among others.

The Dominican Republic is becoming an increasingly popular destination for British holidaymakers. Most tourists stick to the southern and eastern coasts where the weather tends to be dryer. The island is surrounded by white-sandy beaches, dramatic mountain ranges and spectacular rivers and waterfalls - meaning it fills every fantasy you may have of a tropical island. The island has a multitude of top class hotel accommodation, such as the beautiful Barcelo Bavaro Beach and Caribe.

Located on a 3km stretch of tropical beach surrounded by a coral reef one can not ask for much more in terms of location. The hotel has an excellent choice of facilities against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Guests can enjoy the use of 8 restaurants, 13 bars, 24 hour casino and several swimming pools. All bedrooms are air conditioned and equipped with modern amenities. For more details on this hotel check out http://www.superbreak.com which has some fantastic offers for 2006.

Some would say the most famous island in the Caribbean, Jamaica has been a popular tourist destination for decades. The variations in landscape from the expansive beaches to the lush jungles, misty mountains and African esque savannas mean that one can enjoy a multitude of views and outdoor experiences. While the island has a somewhat dubious reputation for high crime rates the problems really are isolated to a few inner city areas and can be easily avoided.

Jamaica owes part of its success to the prevalence of all-inclusive resorts, which were first popularised here and have spread to several other Caribbean islands. many people complain that staying in the resort, limits ones exposure to real Jamaican life it should be remembered that they do have the choice to leave at any point! The resorts also allow you to really control the holiday budget and have huge amounts of fantastic activities available that will keep you and your family entertained for the entire holiday.

Whether you're interested in a relaxing sail from bay to bay on a chartered yacht or an energetic hike through the mountains, there are activities to capture almost anyone's interest. The island is a mecca for Anglers who can spend an adventurous day out looking for Jamaica's famous deep sea fish, while divers can get right into the underwater environment.
