Cheap All Inclusive Caribbean Islands

By Jose Maurette Garces


Are you searching for Cheap all inclusive holidays? Well, we would like to introduce you to Bonaire. This Caribbean island is known primarily as a spectacular dive site, ringed by a series of offshore reefs. But Bonaire is also a landlubber's destination, with a developing art and dining scene, and a slew of land-based activities.

Expanding from mid-January all the way until September, the extensive dry season is Bonaire's most favourable period as hundreds of tourists flock the island year after year. Precipitation levels over the nine month dry season average at a tiny 200mm. This provides endless hours of sunshine and daily temperatures above 30C. Sea temperatures remain very similar to air temperatures; however they are still a very soothing way to freshen up after a long day in the sun.

The quiet capital of Kralendijk has only one main street, and as you stroll along you'll see colourful buildings constructed in the Dutch-colonial style. Along the water is a promenade and many of the streets are lined with shops and restaurants. The town pier is worth a visit, during the early mornings fishmongers and fruit vendors set up shop at the alfresco market.

Dining on Bonaire provides a wide variety of cultural experiences. Caribbean influences colour the local cuisine with papaya, plaintain, Wahoo and funchi. The Dutch brought the European flavours of smoked meats and wonderful cheeses. And not to be left out, Surinam, a former Dutch colony, mixed in the great flavours of Dutch Indonesia, as well as Chinese, Indian, Thai, and African.

Best Beaches in Bonaire: Playa Funchi Lying on the Westernmost tip of the island, Playa Fuchi is definitely worth visiting when you want to see iguana's and lizards that roam around freely. It's also one of the recommended sites for a Bonaire Guide Snorkel.

Bonaire is among the safest destinations in the Caribbean, but adhering to common safety precautions is still advised. Keep an eye on your valuables, and lock your hotel room. These are good guidelines anywhere, regardless of the prevalence - or lack - of crime. The water on the island is distilled seawater, and thus is pure and safe to drink.
