Best INEXPENSIVE Beach Vacation in February?
 

Hello,

My sister-in-law and her husband have asked me to research a vacation for them.

They are interested in an INEXPENSIVE beach vacation in February (flying from the Midwest of the Untied States). They are in there late 40s/early 50s and have not traveled extensively. Something easy, relaxing and not TOO adventurous would be the best...all-inclusive or a package deal of some sort.

Which destinations or travel websites for deals would you suggest? I was thinking Jamaica, the Bahamas, even the Riviera Maya (but I have heard that it is still not up to par since the hurricanes)?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

How much are they planning to spend on this trip? One person's inexpensive may be another's outrageously expensive.

$3,000 for the two of them.

Hi. Add Puerto Rico to your list.
We did a February trip to Puerto Rico once. The flight was cheap (about $250 from the Northeast and it wasn't a sale price). We got our hotel through Priceline (the Hilton) so it ended up being a really cheap winter getaway.
Bahamas is a good option too. Grand Bahama Island is not too expensive. You can find some deals there. We stayed at the Westin at Our Lucaya Sept/Oct. Just a note, I've read a few reviews where people said it was too cold to swim during their February trip. Something to keep in mind.
Jamaica is also a good choice. We're going there this summer. Our flight price was good and we're staying at Idle Awhile in Negril which gets really good reviews and is a bargain for a place that appears to be such a gem.
Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic would also be an inexpensive beach vacation. We haven't been but we looked into it.
Good luck.

Just in case I wasn't clear re: too cold to swim in February. I was referring only to the Bahamas.

How about Aruba. It is nice and hot in Feb. It has some very nice resorts that can most likely offer a package with flight and hotel. Restaurants are great on Aruba and so all inclusive is not recommended. You can dine cheaply or expensively.
I recommend going to aruba-bb.com for more info on Aruba.
