More and more people are waiting until the last minute to book their Caribbean vacations. But what happens if the planes are full or the fares too high?
(Anguilla, December 6, 2012) There’s a trend in Caribbean vacations these days: travelers book rooms later and later.
No problem with that but remember: the longer they wait, the greater the chance of not finding a flight. Or of paying much higher fares than anticipated.
“That’s why we’ve come up with five special winter packages to encourage our guests to get a head start on their planning,” say Sue and Robin Ricketts, owners of Anacaona Boutique Hotel, Anguilla’s much-acclaimed cultural oasis of affordable chic.
“Our regular winter rates are already good value -- less than $300 a night for two (which is exceptional on a celebrity-studded island like Anguilla) but with these special plans guests can reduce their room rates to less than $200 a night.”
Here’s a quick summary of these outstanding 2012 offers (note: beer and wine are not included in any of these offers; additional nights will be charged at the regular room rate):
