Cheap family holidays in the Caribbean

If you are looking for all inclusive holidays where everyone is welcomed with open arms, then we at The Co-operative Travel recommend you book one of our package holidays to the Caribbean. We have especially chosen islands that are easy to reach, with family-friendly resorts that are both luxurious and affordable.

Why choose the Caribbean?

With direct flights averaging 8 - 9 hours, and a time difference of only -4 hours, the Caribbean is fast becoming an affordable alternative to the Med, especially for families holidaying in July and August. 

Restaurants and leisure activities can be pricy in the Caribbean, so the cheapest way to get a good deal is by booking all inclusive holidays, where meals are included and sports activities are free, or at reduced rates.

The high season is between December and May. At this time, humidity levels are low and temperatures high. However, if you want cheap family holidays in the summer months, then provided you don’t mind the humidity the Caribbean offers some excellent low season deals, at a time that’s traditionally the most expensive elsewhere. Barbados and Antigua are good choices as they are the driest of the islands.

Another reason for booking family holidays here are the family-orientated hotels. Package holidays on islands like Jamaica, Tobago and Cuba offer the last word in luxury. There are excellent kids clubs and child-minding amenities, but no compromise on facilities for adults. Add to this plenty of safe, sandy beaches, magnificent scenery both above and below water, exotic wildlife and excellent water sports, and it’s easy to see why the Caribbean is so popular.

Places to book cheap holidays in the Caribbean

Wherever you stay in the Caribbean, you can expect year-round warm weather, beautiful beaches, a scenic landscape and good food. First-timers often book all inclusive holidays in Barbados. Uniquely British, it offers everything from big game fishing (the flying fish is the island’s emblem) to cricket on the village green and there is a live jazz festival in January.

Cuba is the least commercialised of the Caribbean islands, with a rich cultural heritage and miles of beautiful coastline. Wholly affordable, the island offers cheap family holidays all year round.

We at The Co-operative Travel have cheap holidays to suit every kind of lifestyle.
