Where in the Caribbean can you get the most for your money?

David Seeberger: Some people have the mistaken impression that the Caribbean is only for the luxury traveler. There are nice moderate accommodations on almost every island in the Caribbean basin. The Dominican Republic has several all-inclusive properties that are a good value. The Caribbean has lots of all-inclusive resorts (and not just the heavily-marketed resort chains), which for the budget traveler often provides more bang for the buck.

The Ka’anapali Ali’i is a fantastic resort that has been given five-red-apples out of six possible by Apple Vacations. It is also a “Value Plus” hotel, meaning you get more bang for your buck when you stay there. It is located on the Ka’anapali beach, one of Maui’s finest beaches, where white sands meet the warm, turquoise Pacific waters. And for golf enthusiasts, the Ka’anapali Ali’i resort is very close to the Royal Ka’anapali Golf Course, a championship caliber course. Check out the details of this resort for an amazing Hawaiian vacation.

Considered one of the most luxurious resorts in Maui, the suites in Ka’anapali Ali’i range from 1500 to 1900 square feet. They are decorated with a elegant tropical style with all the conveniences and amenities you’d expect from a luxury resort, including concierge, laundry services, and complimentary parking.

So you’re engaged…congratulations! One of the most fun parts about getting married is planning that honeymoon trip of a lifetime. And if you haven’t even narrowed it down to a country, much less an island or a resort, don’t worry-many (if not most!) honeymoon couples are in the same boat.

Some couples start by leafing through travel or bridal magazines and looking for pictures that are appealing and romantic-you can do this, but you’re more likely to settle on the best-MARKETED destination rather than the best destination for your wants, needs, and style.
