Antigua and Barbuda on a Budget

Filed in archive on January 26, 2007

The first Luxury Travel Readers Awards recently named Antigua and Barbuda "Best Beach Destination".

The twin island nation of Antigua and Barbuda has also been the favorite destination of honeymooners for the past years. And with 365 pink and white sand beaches, Antigua and Barbuda would be the perfect Caribbean getaway.

Now, for budget travelers...

Beaches are open to the public. So, no worries about added cost there.

It would be romantic to stay in one of those romantic luxurious cottages but hey, we need to be realistic here. That kind of accommodation will definitely be way beyond your budget. Instead, you can consider staying in intimate (a great way to say "small") guesthouses like the Cappuccino Lounge in St. John.

You can also check out Cheap Caribbean for some great deals.

For cheap eats, the geographia forum regulars have given me lots of tips: Vigi's for breakfast bread on Newgate, Grace Before Meals in English Harbour and Jerk Master on Old Parham Road.

See? You need not rob a bank to enjoy the playground of the rich and famous.
