Luxury holidays to the Caribbean: luxury hotel holidays and special interest holidays

Whilst it’s obvious to us at Caribbean Expressions and to our many regular clients, it’s worth explaining, if you are a newcomer to our site and our programme of luxury hotel holidays, what our holidays are all about and how they work. Expressions Holidays provides a framework for flexibility, personal requirements and individual arrangements. Everything we offer on this website and from our brochure can be booked as it is, or usually, customised at the request of clients. This might mean adding extra nights, reducing nights from suggestions, upgrading room types and including special arrangements. Ideally, once you have had a look at our holiday ideas, we speak to you about what you are looking for, so that we can then put together the ‘package’ for you, creating a tailor-made holiday and a price, along with upgrade and downgrade options. We find it most productive for us and our clients if we talk through the quotation, explain the day by day details and the pricing options. Then you have the full facts available in order to make your decision.

Our hotels

Our hotels are the very best on each island in the Caribbean. They have been chosen by us because they have something of intrinsic value for our clients. Our hotels include sophisticated Carlisle Bay on Antigua, genteel Coral Reef Club on Barbados, fragrant Round Hill on Jamaica and the luxury boutique Calabash on Grenada. Each description on our website is a personal description which conveys the character of each one whilst providing indispensable facts.

Choice of board basis

We offer you a range of meal choices from room only, where you pay extra either to us in advance or direct to the hotel for the meals you eat, to all-inclusive, where all meals and drinks by the glass are included. Some hotels opt for one or other arrangement, others offer you a choice. On Barbados many of the hotels offer a dine around option if you book half-board for your entire stay, which allows you to exchange your dinner at the hotel for a dinner at a local restaurant. Families often find the full board or all-inclusive arrangement excellent value for money, whilst people who want to dine out and about more might find a room only or a bed and breakfast arrangement more to their liking.

Travel

We have worked with British Airways for many years and include their scheduled flights in our basic holiday prices. Virgin Atlantic is also offered on applicable routes.

Premium cabins

We offer you advantageous prices for flying in the premium cabins with all our airlines. With British Airways there is a choice of Club on all routes, FIRST on Barbados and sometimes on St Lucia and World Traveller Plus is available on Barbados, St Lucia, Grenada, Tobago, and Nassau. Virgin Atlantic offer Upper Class and Premium Economy on all their routes to the Caribbean. The best possible supplement for these services can be provided by calling us.

Private charters

For many people, a private charter is the best way to island hop in the Caribbean. In a region of small islands, private aircraft are plentiful and have become the way to travel around. For certain destinations, we include private charters automatically in the holiday price, but on a shared basis, meaning that you may travel on the aircraft with the maximum number the plane holds, usually up to 5 or 8 passengers. However, if you want the privacy of your own plane, then Caribbean Expressions will arrange this for you in advance. The most frequently used routes for private charters are between Barbados and Mustique or between Antigua and Anguilla, Nevis and St Barts. Private charters are possible between most Caribbean islands - just ask us for a price.

Transfers

Caribbean Expressions has arranged for you to have private car transfers arranged by us or by the hotel. If the hotel makes the arrangements it is possible that you will share the car, which on many islands is a mini-bus or space wagon type vehicle seating up to 7 passengers, with other hotel guests arriving on the same flight. Sometimes these vehicles are air-conditioned.

Luxury holidays to the Caribbean: luxury hotel holidays and special interest holidays

Luxury holidays to the Caribbean from Expressions Holidays aim to present you with the charm and allure of the Caribbean. The Caribbean is a familiar friend of a holiday destination that is most definitely a tropical paradise of translucent, turquoise waters, seemingly endless soft white-sand beaches and swaying groves of lush coconut palms. But it is also vibrant and fun, a zesty, spirited place where you are seduced by a warmth and the charm of its peoples. The fragrance and colours create a magical kaleidoscope that welcomes and relaxes.

Islands of the Caribbean

Think of the Caribbean, and you can’t help but picture palm-fringed beaches and gin-clear seas, rum punch cocktails and steel drum bands. The Caribbean is the perfect destination for a luxury holiday, offering sunshine, culture, activities and wonderful hotels. From Antigua to Grenada, the Caribbean is studded with some of the most indulgent and exclusive private-island hotels and beach resorts on earth. For most visitors, that’s more than enough: getting away from the beach means going out for a snorkel or hopping out on a windsurfer. Who can blame them? Sifted by the steady, gentle Tradewinds, with excellent coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, the Caribbean is a water sports Promised Land. However, dig a little deeper, and the Caribbean is a fascinating, diverse holiday destination, suffused in history, with each island boasting its own unique character and personality. From the forts of Jamaica and churches of Barbados to the sizzling carnivals of St Lucia, the Caribbean resounds with echoes of its colonial past, with an architecture and attitude to match. Hire a car and you’ll stumble across cricket games, church choirs and beach bars with spontaneous parties – whilst being a fabulous place just to fly and flop, the Caribbean is also wonderfully rewarding to explore. Geographically, the islands vary dramatically. The low-lying coral islands – the Bahamas, for example - have the best bone-white beaches and swimming but are less interesting inland. Volcanic islands by contrast – for example, the Windward Islands such as St Lucia, St Vincent and Grenada – are more dramatic, covered in steep, tangled forest plunging dramatically into the sea, with classic crescent bays and palm-tree beaches, brilliant for birdwatching and hiking, mountain-biking and nature-trails.
