There's no good way to put this, but you'll find out soon enough
that a trip to the Caribbean isn't cheap. Even if you select a bud-
get hotel, transportation to the islands is a big expense that you
just can't avoid.
However, some islands are less expensive than others. These
destinations are high volume, bringing in commercial and char-
ter flights on a daily basis. This may mean more crowds, but
your airfare will probably be cheaper than flights to more se-
cluded islands.
S
ome destinations offer packages that include air,
hotel, and ground transportation for one affordable
price. Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, the
Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic offer these
kinds of deals.
Charter airline companies serve most of these islands as well.
