Question: Which is cheapest in January: Bahamas, Jamaica, or Puerto Rico?
Question Description:
I know they're all going to be expensive during
that time of year, but which would be cheapest for
an all-inclusive resort and flight package? I
don't want to completely break the bank, but my bf
and I NEED to get away for a long weekend to
escape from the NYC winter. Any ideas?I've done
preliminary research, seems like last minute deals
are cheaper than booking in advance. Is that just
for October, or does that apply at any time of
year? Which place would we most enjoy?

Answer#1: I believe JAMAICA it is cheaper because of the
money exchanges. but the weather in PUERTO RICO
will be better also more enjoyable. The DR is more
cheaper than the 3 above it is inexhaustible.
anyway good luck in your trip weather is in PR or
JAMAICA..
Answer#2: I would check out Sandals in Nassau or The Westin
at Our Lucaya Beach Resort in Grand Bahama Island.
I would book now if the price is in the
budget.Check this website for specials

fun)
Answer#3: You will find that the closer it gets to the
Holidays, the more expensive the rates will
become. Thats when these islands get the most
visitors, thus higher rates. Jamaica - known for
its all affordable all-inclusivesBahamas- you may
save on the flights since its very closePuerto
Rico - you can find great deals on flights as well
because many commercial airlines fly there
direct.My Pick: AirJamaica and Sandals has a nice
package.Try :

Answer#4: Yes you are right they will all be expensive at
this time. & like the agent said the weather
wont be quite so hot in the Bahamas so I might
leave that out. Puerto Rico & Jamaica will
both have excellent weather at this time of year.
& also these last minute deals are probably
cheaper b/c October is cheaper, normally you might
not find this. November starts the high season in
the caribbean. So if you can go right now, go, if
not expect higher prices. I always use orbitz. I
have family in PR & I go alot & I always
find orbitz gives me the best prices. & its
funny b/c I just got an email promotion. It is for
a flight + hotel package to Puerto Rico for 3
nights & it is for $75 off.Here is the promo
code: ORBD0T75(I am not sure if the 0 after D is a
zero or the letter 'O' so try it until you get
it)-------------------------------------------Anyw
ay I would def recommend PR b/c it is beautiful
& has so much to do. In San Juan there is tons
of history, shopping, nightlife, casinos &
restaurants. 'El Morro' is a 500+ yr old war fort
overlooking the ocean & you an walk the
cobblestone streets of Old San Juan. However I
would reccomend staying outside of San Juan. It is
expensive in San Juan & more tranquil outside.
If you stay in Fajardo (45 mins from San Juan) you
can go to 'El Yunque' Rain forest & swim in a
beautiful waterfall called La Mina. You can go to
Luquillo beach nearby or off the shore Palominas
is a tiny secluded island, beautiful. Then at
night u can go to 1 of the Bioluminescent Bays,
the water actually glows in the dark when u touch
it & u can take a kayak tour so u can swim in
it. Its Amazing. Thee is 1 right in Fajardo &
1 right of the coast on a small island called
vieques, you can take a ferry for $4 R/T. Vieques
has beautiful beaches too & the other small
island of Culebra. Or Dorado is nice too (25 mins
from San Juan). The Embassy suites there is
gorgeous. Its cost under $200 a night which is
alot but worth it for a balcony suite. They have a
private beach & a pool w/ poolside bar &
grill & stage. & they have a cool lounge
inside where they have live salsa bands playing on
the wkends w/ a dance floor & bar. & they
have a beautiful golf course too. Check out the
hotel below. Also you are not far from Camuy
Caves, the 3rd largest in the world & Arecibo
telescope the largest radio telescope in the world
(from movies Contact & James bond golden eye).
Enjoy! I hope u find a good deal on something!!
Answer#5: From my expeience as an agent i would recommend
the Bahamas (Nassau) not paradise Island as an
inexspensive route. the airfare is always
reasonalbe around January. the only downfall is
that the Baamas is off the coast of Miami and
sometimes that means you exsperience the same
weather as the US. It is not really that warm
down there In January. I been Twice in January and
still the same results.
Answer#6: You're right, they are all expensive. Honestly,
Cuba is a lot cheaper than any of those. It's nice
there too, just find at least a 3 star...if you
book last minute, all-inclusives can be like 3-500
bucks each for a week
