Cheap places to stay in the Caribbean

When booking for a holiday in the Caribbean, you might find a lack of options on sites like Airbnb or even hostels. Instead, you have hotels and vacation homes to choose from. Splurge a little more on an all-inclusive holiday package and you can have everything from drinks to food, to even activities paid for in advance.

To keep costs low, you'll always want to buy travel insurance. Ensure that you're covered for all the activities you want to get up to so that there aren't any additional expenses you need to worry about in case of any emergencies.
