It’s hard to resist the amazing staycation deals that I see popping up throughout the Caribbean. This is the perfect opportunity to go on vacation, rest, relax and be pampered. When I first heard about the staycation idea more than ten years ago, I was intrigued and excited by the idea of having a real vacation at home.
One of my close colleagues and friends loves a good Caribbean vacation. If she’s not on a staycation, she’s cruising the Caribbean and living her best life. When the staycation idea took it a step further, and jumped right in. To date she has staycationed in Barbados at several hotels and is always on the lookout for more. Some of her favourite staycation experiences were at Coconut Court, the Crane Resort, and several beach houses in Barbados.
Booking.comWhat is a Staycation?
A staycation is a holiday in your home country, where you participate in activities at hotels, resorts, villas, other types of accommodation and tour and activity businesses. The best staycation deals offer unbeatable rates for locals which include meals and activities.
Domestic tourism in the Caribbean is a growing thing that allows locals to experience what visitors fall in love with. To take advantage of all that your home country has to offer, check out some of the amazing staycation deals that I found.
