Caribbean- Tobago, Barbados or Antigua

Yellow_Is_The_Colour

Last year we went on holiday to St Lucia and the year before to Cuba. We like to go at the end Of March away from the school holidays, half terms etc. In 2014 we are considering going to either Tobago,Barbados or Antigua for about 10 days. We would not rule out Jamacia but wish to avoid Dominican Republic. We prefer an all Inclusive holiday. We used the company Holiday Place last year and they were excellent. is any company doing any deals for next March to one of the above.

We've done St.Lucia (x1), Jamaica (x2), Barbados (x3), Grenada (x1) and Antigua (x2).

A lot depends on the type of holiday and the hotel you are looking for but for us Barbados offers a good all round option.

Not considering Mexico? They have some excellent AI options. We did Jamaica this year (not overly impressed) but I'll be following this as Cuba/St Lucia/Barbados are on my list for next year.

Antigua or Tobago would be my options. I can't stand Barbados these days - far too commercialised, unfortunately. I haven't actually been to Tobago but would love to go. Been to Antigua many times and I love it there. Lots to do and places to see

We love Barbados, been 3 times and booked to go again next May.

This Sunday coming we're off to Antigua so would be happy to let you know what we think. Went to St. Lucia last year and thought it was lovely.

Not been to Tobago but would like to go at some point.

So, out of your 3 options I would go to Barbados as we find it very relaxed, people are very warm & friendly, the beach (at least where we've stayed twice) is gorgeous and just love the whole feel of the country.

Ive been to Tobago and my aunt and uncle used to go quite frequently as they loved it there, however crime and attacks on tourists got quite bad at one point, and so much so that they stopped going and I wouldnt want to particularly go back again.

We have been To St Lucia which was lovely but you have already been there. Certainly would recommend Antigua and Barbados is nice but over commercialised. We agree with the Original poster on this forum that the Dominican Republic is not a top choice, but the cheapest one. We have heard mixed reviews about both Tobago and Jamacia and good feedback about Grenada.

Hi There
We have been to Montego Bay a number times and we always go to the adult only i berostar Grand Rose Hall,the hotel is fantastic and well worth the money,i have to say you get what you pay for here.

Working for Virgin as you probably can imagine gets me about a little

I love Barbados it has to be my favourite island in the Caribbean

I have been to Saint Lucia twice this year, its a lovely island and very relaxing. Antigua is very similar however the beaches in Antigua are much nicer than Saint Lucia

I disagree with the comments on Barbados being over commercialised. I prefer the set up over there as I can head out to bars and restaurants and feel completely safe.

Barbados is very different in terms of accomodation too. The hotels tend to have less than 100 rooms. Nothing like super resorts of other islands. You pay for the island. If you like to get out and about and lovely white powder beaches then give it a try

Thanks
Del

As from November Thomas Cook are flying out of Manchester to Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia, there are some very good prices about as they are charter flights and packages.

March is an excellent time to vist the Carribean but also one of the most expensive month. It is very poular with Canadian at that time of year. We loved both Antigua and Grenada but had a really bad experience in Dominican Republic where a lot of locals visited the hotel ate all the food,and were noisy and unhygenic. We are considering Jamacia in 2014. Look out for special offers on both Virgin and British Airways
