THE CARIBBEAN TRAVELLER'S FINEST RESOURCE
ANTIGUA
ANTIGUA is a lively, busy island with some good value. It is easily accessible, with many international and regional connections and is a popular port of call for cruise ships (and consequently has good shopping). It has magnificent sand and beaches, in long strands and isolated coves, some with good beach bars. There is a small number of excellent and stylish hotels among a large stock of mid-price resorts and all-inclusives, and just a few smaller, independent places to stay. There are plenty of good villas. Activities include excellent sailing, some good restaurants, casinos (it is one of just a few islands with them) and a very interesting visible history in Nelson’s Dockyard and many forts.

BARBUDA is very quiet, with just a couple of expensive hotels and some very simple guest houses. It is a plane ride (and now ferry ride) beyond Antigua and has truly spectacular, barely developed beaches, some interesting nature and a very simple Caribbean life. Click here for the Antigua guide
