How to Travel to Antigua Right Now, For Less

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 15th, 2016

Antigua and Barbuda — home to 365 beaches and some of the region’s most beautiful all-inclusive resorts.

And while Valentine’s Day has come and gone, a romantic winter getaway in Antigua is still easy — and affordable.

That’s where the St James’s Club Antigua comes in, which is now offering a special way to save on a trip to the island.

The all-inclusive resort has announced the launch of an extended sale, offering a free upgrade and a free romantic dinner at the resort’s Piccolo Mondo fine-dining restaurant if you book by Feb. 21.

And here’s the best part: it’s starting at just $422 per couple per night, with everything included — a savings of 35 percent.
