When to Go to Caribbean With Children
When to Go to Caribbean With Children
Article by Per Moller
The main travel season in the Caribbean is from 15 December til 15 April, usually called “winter”. Although this period does have drier and slightly cooler weather – but still nice for the children and You, the main variable in making it the high season is the weatherr elsewhere, as the bulk af Caribbean tourists are “snow birds” escaping colder weather in North America and Europe.You can enjoy steeply discounted “summer” hotel prices by visiting in the low season, from mid-April to mid-December. In addition, most airfares to the Caribbean are cheaper during this period, the beaches are less crowded, tourist areas have a more relaxed pace – very nice, when You travel with kids, and last minute bookings for cars, flights and hotels are seldom a problem.One the minus side, the tradewinds aren’t as prevalent in summe, so the chance of encounting oppressively muggy weather is higher. Summer is also the huricane season, albeit the odds of encounting a hurricane on any particular island aren’t much higher than along the US east coast.November and early December can be a pleasent time to visit. Many hotels have taken a late-summer break to spruce up, so their rooms are at their pre-season finest, the crowds are just beginning to show and the prices are still low.I always travel light, when I travel with children – and a good policy generally in the Caribbean anywhere, because in the tropics, heavy ackets and bulky clothing are totally unnecessary.Ideal clothes are those made of cotton, which breathes best in hot humid weather, are loose fitting and don’t need to be tucked in, and can be hand washed in a sink and hung up to dry without wrinkling.Dress in the Eastern Caribbean is casual. Sportswear, including shorts and a neat T-shirt, is fine during the day in most places.
