Question #2: i am looking into buying proerty in Belize, specifically Ambergris cay?
I am wondering about crime rates, water
clarity,beaches, poverty and standard of living.
How expensive are things? How difficult /
expensive is it to get supplies from the mainland
Given a choice between Ambergris Cay, Placencia
and a new development across the bay from Chetumal
Mexico whats your opinion. I want a rental income
property for now but something that I could
perhaps retire to in 20 years. I love the
caribbean and wish I could afford something in the
Virgin Islands but thats not happening so I
figured I would try something on the other side or
the Caribbean Sea. Any suggestions, opinions or
info would help.
Answer: I think these 2 sites can really help you w/ your
desicion. GOODLK!

Question #3: Cheap caribbean vacation for week before Christmas?
I'm trying to book a cheap Caribbean vacation for
two (Bahamas, Virgin Islands, St. Martin, DR, or
Cancun, or similar) for the week before
Christmas. When I get on the websites, they
advertise a price, but as soon as I enter my
details (travel dates, etc.) the price quadruples.
What am I doing wrong? I am willing to fly back
on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day -- I thought
this would make it cheaper but perhaps I am wrong?
What dates would make it come up as the
advertised price? I can be flexible (leaving
anywhere between December 16th and 20th, coming
back anywhere between 20th and 25th). Which
dates/destinations would give me the best deals?
Also, any recommendations as to specific
destinations? Or places to book other than the
websites that I have had the above mentioned
problems with? I just want it to be simple!
Thanks :)Well, when do you have to return by for
it to be considered 'before Christmas.' ? I have
tried the 23rd, 24th, and 25th, but prices are
equally high on all 3 days
Answer: The prices always go up a lot during Christmas.
Try getting airfare using American Air using
flexible date search, then book your hotel
separately. I got really cheap airfare through
them to Jamaica for this New Years holiday. LAX to
MoBay for $409, but I got the tickets about a
month ago.High season starts in December and
continues for a few months. The most economical
time to travel to the Carribean is during the
months of June through August.

Question #4: Thinking about a family vacation in Caribbean, Do you think it would be more inexpensive .....?
to go through a travel agen or try and find rates
myself. I have done some research and it seems
like the info is almost too much to take in. We
are thinking of either, Virgin Islands, Cancun,
Dominican Republic, Bahamas, or maybe somewhere
else, alot of it depends on the deal we can get
and what is best for our 2 kids ages 7 and 8 by
the time we go (it would be next year , if we
can). thanks
Answer: We went to an island wedding in St Lucia early
this year, everything is so expensive there. The
hotel costs us $300 a night, not the most
expensive one. A meal costs $60 a person easily, I
did not get even half full.For a friction of the
money, you can have a much nicer vacation in
Southeast Asia, like Malaysia or Indonesia.

Question #6: Virgin Islands or Hawaii a better choice for a summer (May-July, flexible) destination wedding site?
We are deciding on a place to have our destination
wedding/honeymoon. I've never been to either, and
I am wanting opinions from those who have
travelled to both as to which would be a better
choice. Take weather, quality of beaches/resorts,
activities, dining, etc into account when
answering. Most likely, we will have the wedding
at a resort, so specific resorts you would
recommend that you have ACTUALLY stayed at would
be awesome! Thanks for your help.
Answer: I have a cousin that lives in the Virgin Islands
and I was just in Hawaii two years ago in June. I
would definitely recommend the Gran Wailea Resort
in Maui for a destination wedding. This place is
unbelievable, great restaurants extremely clean
and lots to do. The only drawback that I can see
with it is the enormous size. If that does not
bother you than I would check it out. If you are
looking for a place a bit more personal try the
Fairmont Orchid on The Big Island of Hawaii..much
more romantic and quiet. There is also great
snorkeling on the beach right out front with tons
of green sea turtles. I would highly reccomend
both!Hope this helps...good luck!

Question #10: What is the best hotel in the U.S Virgin Islands?
I am looking for a vacation for the summer and
want to stay at one of the Virgin Islands. I am
thinking about the Ritz-Carlton but haven't made
up my mind. Any ideas?
Answer: Check out this web site. It is written by
travellers for other travellers. There are honest
reviews on hotels and all sorts of other travel
related things. There is often "a local
expert " who will reply sometimes with
extremely detailed answers.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/In fact it has
information on everything you will need for a trip
anywhere!! If you can't find the answers you want
you can post a question (just like on Yahoo
Answers) in the forum area of the
town/city/country you are interested in. If you
type Virgin Islands into the search box - and then
click on the hotels I'm sure you will find a
number of reviews for that particular one.
