By Dave Pipitone

Why are Antigua hotels so appealing to those who vacation there? In this article, let's review five booking options.

Imagine a tropical Caribbean island that has as many sandy beaches as there are days in a year. Picture yourself walking barefoot in the cool white sand, the turquoise water lapping at your ankles. Look across the calm seas to see the sailboats frolicking in the bay.

The island of Antigua offers more than 100 hotels and dozens of rental villas conveniently located near the 365 plus beaches. When you book your stay at one of the hotels in Antigua, you have many choices depending on your budget, tastes and location.

General Hotel Price Ranges
Travelers looking for simply a place to sleep can locate rooms for under $50(USD) per night. If you are not looking to spend quite so much on a hotel, but still want a few amenities, there are accommodations around $115(USD) per night. If you want a happy medium somewhere in between moderate and expensive, you can find hotels and resorts that run from $400(USD) to $750(USD).

Budget Antigua Motels and Mid-Price Antigua Hotels
There are a few budget hotels or places where you can rent just a room on Antigua. For example, you might check out the Skyline Motel on Old Parham Road, which is listed on different websites.

Antigua Luxury Hotels
If you love luxury, there are several Antigua 5 star hotels on the island that will make your stay elegant and fun. The northwest part of Antigua would be the ideal place to stay. Breath-taking beaches and extravagant hotels and resorts can be found on this part of the island, but this beautiful scenery does come with a price.

Antigua Villas and Inns
If you want to escape the crowds, or are traveling with a large family or group of people, then booking a small guesthouse or villa on the quieter south coast might be more appealing to your vacationing needs. The island's small hotels, villas, and inns offer more moderate prices ranging from $200(USD) per night to as much as $5,000 (USD) per week.

Vacation Rentals in Antigua
The island offers several vacation rental brokers who can assist you with booking a home during your stay on Antigua. You will find a better rate, on a per-day basis, if you rent for a longer period of time, two weeks to a month. If you plan an extended stay, say to write a book, let your rental agent know the term of your stay and negotiate for a lower rate. One customer in hand that can pay for a longer period helps them reduce the inventory of booking their rentals.

Antigua All Inclusive Resorts
One of the most convenient ways to vacation on Antigua is to book a stay at an all-inclusive resort. Antigua all inclusive vacations are a very popular place way to stay during your visit to the island. With this booking option, you will find lodging, meals, and activities combined into one bill, which certainly simplifies the vacation process. As always, prices might not include the service charges and government tax, so if you opt for an all-inclusive resort, be sure to inquire about any possible fees when making your reservations.
