Cheap holidays to Caribbean offer the chance to experiance a true tropical paradise. The Caribbean consists of some 7,000 sun drenched islands all sandwiched between the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean. Year round sunshine comes courtesy of the fantastic tropical climate, whilst turquoise waters lap gently on white sandy beaches fringed by lush tropical vegetation. The islands, big and small, well known or relatively undiscovered are an amazing melting pot of different cultures, religions, languages and cuisine. All in all this is a close as you can get to paradise on earth!

When to go
The peak season for Caribbean holidays is definitely in winter and expect it to be busy in November, December and January although it starts to slow down in February and March. This is when the weather is at its best although there is always a chance of rain and it usually more difficult to find a cheap holiday in Caribbean at this time. For an ideal combination of good weather and kinder prices try September, October, March and April as you can probably find cheap Caribbean holidays on offer, however, there's no guarantee of great weather so it may be worth spending an extra few pounds if you want guaranteed sunshine.

What to do
Whatever island you choose to visit there will no doubt be a huge amount of water sports on offer. Some of the bigger islands have amazing interiors covered with tropical forests and often studded with beautiful mountain ranges that conceal story book waterfalls. If you want to go out and do a bit of exploring on your own then you are best to pick up cheap Jamaica car hire and have the freedom to go wherever the mood takes you. Fishing and diving are to be found everywhere as are great beaches. Nightlife varies from island to island but expect great beach bars and more than a few places to test out your dancing skills as reggae and calypso beats echo into the early hours of the morning.
