CHEAP CARIBBEAN HOLIDAYS

A self catering holiday within a hotel environment has to be potentially the best of both worlds. The freedom of self catering, and the facilities of what will normally be an affordable hotel.

The Butterfly Beach Hotel is no exception to this rule, sitting in the Christ Church area of Barbados in a lovely oceanfront location with access to two white sand beaches. With 90+ rooms it isn’t too big so as to be impersonal, although only rated as two star it could be ideal as a decent quality affordable hotel.

The Butterfly Beach Hotel is what might best be called a mixed accommodation hotel with some Superior Rooms but no kitchenette, then the Superior Island View Studio, but with no balcony to sit on, with a kitchenette, called The French Balcony Rooms.

Sometimes a self catering holiday can be a better option than a hotel especially if you choose Villa Pomme D’Amour at Marigot Bay on St Lucia.

A Self Catering Holiday anywhere shouldn’t be the last option if you want an affordable family vacation. Indeed some holiday villas have accommodation that is far better than you will get in many hotels, and the Villa Pomme D’Amour above Marigot Bay in St Lucia is certainly no exception.

The Villa Pomme D’Amour sits on a ridge above Marigot Bay which has the reputation of being the most beautiful in the Caribbean, and the views certainly back this up. It is a two villa property and the first has two identical levels, and you can easily rent both for a larger family group. Each unit has two bedrooms with balconies, a bathroom equipped with a shower, and a well equipped kitchenette and living room which opens on to a large verandah with dining table and chairs plus loungers.
