When you begin planning a potentially successful vacation, one of the most critical commitment is to book a hotel room for your stay. After you have made your arrangements to take time off work, its important in gaining the most benefit from your vacation, and especially to your destination, you will have to figure out an affordable place to stay on your vacation, holidays. There are many ways to approach, flights, cruises, car rentals and hotel bookings, the most tried and true being purchasing a vacation package through a travel agent. However, travel agents are becoming more expensive to deal with, and in so doing a lot less practical. The cheapest and more practical method in modern times is to book all necessary travel services, associated with your vacation, holidays, directly on the Internet by accessing a modern, up to date travel booking website. The modern and up to date Internet travel booking website, offers far more travel related services available online, and incidentally, at far cheaper and affordable prices that a high street travel agents would find possible. Important to understand, that high street travel agents input travel bookings, through a computer system, generally the same technique as you will be expected to accomplish on the Internet. Only difference, is that by booking the travel services on the Internet yourself, you will be receiving the same travel services - and pricing, as you would receive, if you booked the same travel flight, cruise, vacation rental, hotel booking, or even entire vacation, lodiday package through the high street travel agency, the only difference for you is that by booking the travel bookings yourself online, you will be saving far more money, than visiting your high street travel agents. Booking travelling services on the Internet yourself is now becoming the norm in modern day living, thankfully saving you a lot of money, by cutting out the middlemen, in the process.

Jimmy Buffett Slept Here Why Caribbean Villas Are So Darn Popular by: Bob Bouknight

Youre ready to book that trip to the Caribbean that youve been talking about for so long. You go online to get your airline tickets. Easy.

But heres the hard part where to stay? So many choices. You could book a hotel, a condo complex, or a vacation villa. How do you decide which one is right for you and your family or group?

Well, the best place to start is by asking what amenities and services youre looking for. What are the most important options to consider before laying down your hard-earned cash on a deposit?

Space? Convenience? Privacy? Cost? Lets look at all four features.

SPACE

Generally, hotel rooms and condos dont afford you a lot of space unless youve booked the penthouse suite. Many people justify this by saying they wont be spending much time in their rooms anyway. But unexpected bad weather can change that forecast quickly. And perhaps one of the reasons theyre not spending much time in the room is because theres no room for the whole group to gather! Many people choose a villa vacation because of that reason alone. Typically theres a living area or family room where everyone congregates for drinks and conversation if theyre not outside on the pool deck. And sometimes the size of one villa bedroom can be as large as an entire hotel room. (Tip: If space is important to you, always check out the square footage of your accommodations before you book!)

CONVENIENCE

Lets face it, theres a lot to be said about the convenience of staying at a hotel and typically having a store, activities, concierge, and restaurants right on the premises. However, unless its an all-inclusive (which many find is the way to go, especially with kids), youre paying for all those meals and it adds up after a while. Because condos and villas have kitchen facilities, they give you the option of buying food at the local grocery store and preparing meals back at your placewhether light snacks or full blown dinners. Many villas also have the advantage of providing or arranging for island chefs to be brought in so you dont have to worry about the cooking chores. Most villas also have gas barbeque grills for the outdoor chef in your family or group.

PRIVACY

If fighting the crowds is not your idea of a vacation, then a villa rental may be the way to go. Unless you travel in the off-season, you may spend more time trying to find a lounge chair by the pool than actually relaxing in the sun. Some people dont mind sharing their vacation with strangers, but others see this as a time to spend exclusively with family or friends. Add to that the fact that many villas are located on or next to secluded beaches, and vacation houses win at privacy hands down. One trade off may be that generally villas dont put out lounge chairs on the sand for their guests; however many provide beach chairs to borrow.

COST

This is a hard one to calculate because there are such wide ranges of prices and services from island to island. At first blush, anyone looking at a villa rental may shy away because of the prices. But usually, once you break it down, you can rent a four bedroom villa for about the same price as two standard rooms at a hotel or condo, everything being equal. Compare apples to apples and see how the cost works out for the places you are considering chances are youll actually be paying the same price but getting a lot more space and privacy by renting a villa! (Tip: Be sure and check what is included in the quoted rate. In many Caribbean countries the hotels, condos, and villas must collect a government accommodations tax. Some hotels and condos also add a service fee, which altogether could tack another 20% onto your bill. Ouch!)

So villa, condo, or hotel? You can see that where you stay in the Caribbean requires a little bit of planning. The first step is to decide what features are most important when youre looking for your slice of paradise. For an increasing number of groups, couples, and families, a Caribbean villa rental provides the comfort, privacy and space they desire.
