The La Palma Princess and spa is just an example of a very good AI hotel with over 1950 very good or better reviews on tripadvisor.
The effects of a long haul flight and jet lag are still apparent on the third day of a carribean holiday.
Surely you get jag lag coming back not going
OP I'm not sure your budget is big enough . We did a cheap(er) AI on Antigua years ago , it was just like Butlins
The best Caribbean holiday we had was a small self catering apartment in Rodney Bay , St Lucia, as there are a lot of good restaurants there, however even that came in more then your budget, not including foodVuja De - the feeling you'll be here later0 -
