Caribbean Resorts Offer Special Discounts through Peak Season

As the Caribbean islands enter the height of tourist season, which runs from now through March, sun-deprived travelers flock to the islands for the region’s idyllic weather and alluring beaches, prices soar to peak levels and resorts fill up well in advance.

Three of the biggest online travel agencies –Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz– are all offering numerous Caribbean packages from 30 to 50 percent off across a broad range of vacations, including cruises, through peak season.

For families, Club Med in Guadeloupe and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic are offering a Kids Stay Free special for vacations beginning Feb. 14 or 50 percent off the second guest for seven-night trips at those resorts as well as properties in Martinique and Turks and Caicos.
