ABOUT OUR HOLIDAYS

The basis of our truly bespoke holidays lies in the wide range and diversity of islands and hotel accommodation that we have selected to offer you . Reflecting the charm and character of the Caribbean islands , our hotels provide the very best quality of accommodation , service and facilities in the Caribbean . Plus there is a choice to suit a range of budgets as well as special interests , from honeymooners to families , from sailing enthusiasts to spa treatment devotees .
OUR ISLANDS
From the better-known and much-loved islands such as Barbados , Jamaica , Antigua and St Lucia to the less well-known such as Nevis , Anguilla and Grenada , Caribbean Expressions offers you a choice of islands of amazingly varied scenery and charm .
MULTI-ISLAND COMBINATIONS
This is what we really enjoy and where our knowledge of the Caribbean and our skill as a tour operator come to the fore . Remember that we know the islands and have done a variety of island-hopping combinations ourselves . Popular combinations might be Tobago , Barbados and St Lucia or Barbados , the Grenadines and Grenada or Antigua , Anguilla and Nevis . Just give us your plans and we will execute them for you .
OUR HOTELS
Our hotels are the very best on each island in the Caribbean . They have been chosen by us because they have something of intrinsic value for our clients . Our hotels include sophisticated Carlisle Bay on Antigua , genteel Coral Reef Club on Barbados , charming Cotton House on Mustique and fragrant Round Hill on Jamaica . Each description in this holiday guide is a personal description which conveys the character of each one whilst providing indispensable facts .
FROM ROOM ONLY TO ALL-INCLUSIVE
We offer you a range of meal choices from room only , where you pay extra either to us in advance or direct to the hotel for the meals you eat , to all-inclusive , where all meals and drinks by the glass are included . Some hotels opt for one or other arrangement , others offer you a choice . On Barbados many of the hotels offer a dine around option if you book half-board for your entire stay , which allows you to exchange your dinner at the hotel for a dinner at a local restaurant . Families often find the full board or all-inclusive arrangement excellent value for money , whilst people who want to dine out and about more might find a room only or a bed and breakfast arrangement more to their liking .
SCHEDULED FLIGHTS
We have worked with British Airways for many years and include their scheduled flights in our basic holiday prices . Virgin Atlantic is also offered on applicable routes .
PREMIUM CABINS
We offer you advantageous prices for flying in the premium cabins with all our airlines . With British Airways there is a choice of Club on all routes , FIRST on Barbados and World Traveller Plus is available on Barbados , St Lucia , Grenada and Tobago . Virgin Atlantic offer Upper Class and Premium Economy on all their routes to the Caribbean . The best possible supplement for these services can be provided by calling us or by looking at our website .
Caribbean . In a region of small islands , private aircraft are plentiful and have become the way to travel around . For certain destinations , we include private charters automatically in the holiday price , but on a shared basis , meaning that you may travel on the aircraft with the maximum number the plane holds , usually up to 5 or 8 passengers . However , if you want the privacy of your own plane , then Caribbean Expressions will arrange this for you in advance . The most frequently used routes for private charters are between Barbados and Mustique or between Antigua and Anguilla . Private charters are possible between most Caribbean islands - just ask us for a price .
TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS
Caribbean Expressions has arranged for you to have private taxi transfers arranged by us or by the hotel . ( If the hotel makes the arrangements it is possible that you will share the taxi , which on many islands is a minibus or space wagon type vehicle seating up to 7 passengers , with other hotel guests arriving on the same flight ). Sometimes these vehicles are air-conditioned .
CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN TRANSFERS IN THE UK
Caribbean Expressions can offer you the services of a chauffeur-driven transfer from your home to the airport . The cost varies according to the distance to the airport . Contact us for details .
SECURE SUPPORT HERE AND ABROAD
We offer you comfort and security by making all your holiday arrangements for you without compromising your individuality . You are provided with an emergency contact number here in the UK and usually also a local contact number of an agent on a particular island but we do not always employ ‘ meet and greet ’ representatives on purpose in order to maintain a feeling of independence . Our clients want discreet help and to this end we have arranged for someone to be available to visit you at your hotel during your stay on the following islands : St Lucia , Antigua , Nevis , Barbados , Grenada .

This is and always has been an integral part of the allencompassing service we offer , long before the term ' concierge service ' started to be used to describe just what we have always done , naturally and free of charge .
