Fruity options on your Caribbean Holidays

March 28, 2011 by

The Caribbean is filled with a plethora of choices when it comes to food and drink. Many of us, when we think of our Caribbean Holidays we picture ourselves on that hammock or beach chair lazing the day away, consuming rich foods and sugar-filled drinks piling on the pounds. However this stereotype does not have to be a reality if you don’t want it. Sure you can have the milky drinks; spiced rums with soft drink; the rich butter filled foods or; the heavy cream entrees but you can also look at the alternatives so when you get back home a new wardrobe, exorbitant gym fees or a visit to your cardiologist will not be on the to-do lists.

In this article, we at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® want to touch a little on the many fruits that grow in abundance in the Caribbean. Fruits are a healthy alternative to many fatty snacks and foods and can be easily stuck into a bag when taking a day-trip or can be consumed in the form of a cool refreshing drink.

Because of the natural climate, rich soils and diverse flora, many fruits can be found throughout the region. Here are just a few of the fruits found in the Caribbean:

Ackee; Avocado; Balata; Banana; Barbadine; Breadfruit; Caimate; Carambola; Cashew fruit; Cherry; Coconut; Date; Doung; Grapefruit; Guava; Guinep; Jackfruit; Lime; Mamisiporte; Mango; Orange; Papaya; Passion Fruit; Peewah; Pineapple; Plums; Pomegranate; Pommerac; Pumpkin; Sapodilla; Sorrel; Sour Sop; Sugar Cane; Sugar Apple; Tamarind; Tangerine; Tomato; Watermelon.

Many of these fruits are not indigenous to the Caribbean but can be enjoyed thoroughly with the twists that have been put into their preparation. Many are blended to make delicious (and we mean really delicious drinks). Part of your Caribbean Holidays has to be a trip to a weekend market where you can marvel at the fruits and vegetables and most likely pick up some nice snacks at unbelievable bargains.

Have a fruit juice with your meal. It aids in digestion and gets those vital micro-nutrients into your system. Most of these micro-nutrients are destroyed by cooking so this is a very sensible way to obtain them. Ideally the human body needs about 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of fruit or vegetable per 50kgs (110 lbs.), so what better way to fill the gap than to consume your fruit drink?

Of course the basics should be adhered to as well. If milk is required, opt for skimmed; if sugar is an essential ask if they have alternative; if a heavy cream is the base, look down the menu, you get the drift.

At breakfast we often see hotels catering for their guests by importing apples, cantaloupes, grapes and so on. A fruit plate is often filled with things you left at your local grocer in the Americas or Europe. Insist on trying something different, try our Caribbean fruits. We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® know that there will be no regrets, enjoy yourselves, relax, be happy and be healthy.

Honeymooning in the Caribbean

March 28, 2011 by

Honeymooners are guaranteed a memorable experience when they chose the Caribbean for this once in a lifetime occasion. Are there words to describe waking up in paradise with the one you love and who you want to spend the rest of your life with? We say yes actually…it’s called welcome to the Caribbean. You will utter the words…”I don’t want this to end” and “you look more and more beautiful every day” and “do we have to leave?”  Actually those words are often shared by those not even on their honeymoon, but for this article we at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® are sticking to the honeymoon mode. Here you will not only find yourself but others will find you. With no stress, the Caribbean beauty, and nothing but relaxation, romance and adventure on your to-do list, this will be one of the best foundation blocks for your future together.

Many of our Caribbean Holidays include world class honeymoon destinations. The really popular ones include St. Lucia, Antigua, Anguilla, Jamaica and Barbados. However, many other islands share mystical loveliness where you can choose what appeals to you. Perhaps you both enjoy eco-tourism and may want to make Dominica the place for you to begin your wonderful journey together. Perhaps you want to go to one of the more untouched islands like Tobago, full of wildlife and quiet bliss. Still you may want to take a once in a lifetime photo opportunity at the site of the Caribbean’s most active volcano in Montserrat.

Whatever your preference, there is something for everyone, once the requirement is not downhill skiing, we can handle it. We may suggest a host of activities for you: perhaps a diving adventure to one of the many wrecks or coral reefs below the surface of our warm clear tropical waters; a hike through a tropical forest being one with nature and your new partner; a romantic walk on one of our many gorgeous white-sanded beaches, in the crisp morning air before the sunrise or viewing our lovely picture perfect sunsets; a nice romantic horseback ride on the beach or a roll of the dice at the casino.

Make sure and enjoy our Caribbean cuisine and delicious drinks catering to every palate. We solidify the term romantic dinner in our islands. As you dine at a seaside restaurant and toast life together with the waves lapping gently below you and your server attending to your every whim, there will be no regrets for choosing the Caribbean for your honeymoon

Many islands cater for all income brackets. You can choose from all-inclusive to special honeymoon packages at world-classed hotels and residences or you can book a getaway at a privately owned villa. Alternatively you can save on accommodation and maximize on the sightseeing and adventures that await you. So don’t take a chance with your honeymoon, go where it has been tried and proven for many decades, begin your marriage with the Caribbean. We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® will help you find that destination, that adventure and those memories. Join us and let us serve you. Our job is to make those Caribbean Holidays the best ever for you and then improve on that too!

Best foods on your Caribbean Holidays

March 28, 2011 by

When you travel to the beautiful islands for your Caribbean Holidays we recommend you try the national dish of the country. Each island has its own special flavor and we at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® have attempted to track as much as possible so you can be sure what to try on the menu!

Anguilla – Pigeon peas and rice.

The island caters for many different palates and at the high end restaurants this dish will not be listed. We recommend you get the true island feel and venture into the main town (The Valley) and order up this dish from the more local establishments. Nico’s is our favourite pick but you can also try The English Rose. 

Barbados – Flying Fish and Cou Cou.

The flying fish is the national fish of Barbados and is prepared in a variety of ways. We find it best when the flying fish is deep fried and served with vegetables and cou cou. The cou cou is prepared by combining corn meal, flour and okra. Many restaurants serve their unique versions of this dish and have highlighted it well for the island. For the best though we like to keep it local and recommend you head down to the Oistins fish fry in the village of Oistins. The best night to go is on a Friday where you can feel the rhythm of the island through its food, music and lots of local content.

Dominica – Mountain Chicken

Passed down from the rich French culture, Mountain Chicken or frog legs is Dominica’s favourite. Locals tell you “it tastes like chicken”. This dish is prepared in a variety of ways, from deep frying, stewing or boiling and served with rice and peas or our favourite ground provisions. We like how Fort Young hotel serves this dish in its entire local splendor with a flavor that is friendly to the visitor’s tastes but many other restaurants  also carry the dish and being the most popular by locals, all have its preparation down pact!

Grenada – Oil down

This dish combines ground provisions like the delicious breadfruit and dasheen, salted meat e.g. pig tail and a variety of vegetables with coconut milk and a little water to help it cook. It can be served with rice but the favourite is home-made styled dumplings. Most local restaurants serve this dish in all its glory. We recommend a stroll on the famous Grand Anse beach and look into one of the many restaurants on the strip there. Again it is tough to find where this dish will be prepared poorly by a local cook as they grew up with it.

Jamaica – Ackee and Saltfish

Served mostly at breakfast with a good helping of fried bakes (also called Johnny cakes), ground provisions or dumplings. Basically, vegetables are sautéed in butter, the salted fish is added with a generous helping of tomatoes then the Ackee fruit is incorporated. All this is combined and cooked until hot and tasty. Sprinkle some of the famous Jamaican hot sauce on it to really enjoy the flavors, but watch out, Jamaican pepper can be too hot to handle by some.

St. Kitts and Nevis – Stewed Salt fish with coconut dumplings and breadfruit

The salt fish (mostly salted cod) is stewed with tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. The dumplings are a combination of flour, coconut, salt and oil. The breadfruit is boiled down in a broth with a host of vegetables. All of this is served on a plate of exquisite taste which will bring you back for more after a well-deserved siesta.

St. Lucia – Green figs and Salt fish pie

Green figs are a type of banana that can be boiled or stewed (we like boiled) and combined with the salt fish with some good helpings of vegetables and topped with milk and cheese to form a rich and very tasty pie. This dish is mostly served at breakfast and will certainly keep you filled for your day’s adventures.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Roast breadfruit with fried fish

Another delicacy of the Caribbean islands, this national dish of St. Vincent incorporates the popular breadfruit with fish (a fish called jack fish is mostly used). The breadfruit is grilled (roasted) over a pit or stovetop grill and the fish is deep fried to a lovely golden brown. Served with a nice helping of Caribbean salad this dish is a favorite by local and visitor.

Trinidad & Tobago – Pelau

Many Trinbagonians (as locals of Trinidad and Tobago are referred) may argue the national dish is doubles or roti, but no, we are sure it is pelau. It is stewed meat with rice and coconut milk that is combined and to which carrots and pigeon peas and a hot pepper is added (pig-tail is optional). The liquid is allowed to dry down and the result is a rich and tasty dish that is shared by all. A popular dish to carry to a sporting event like cricket or to a social (or “lime”).

The preceding dishes are but a sample of what is offered for your Caribbean Holidays in the area of local cuisine. Recipes for these dishes have been passed down through generations and up to now still hold the delicious flavor of long ago times. We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® encourage you to try one, some or all of these dishes on your trip to the Caribbean and we assure you that you will be back for more.

The popularity of Caribbean Holidays

March 23, 2011 by

Caribbean Holidays are growing in popularity with some destinations, e.g. St. Lucia reporting record levels of visitors even in these times of economic meltdowns, financial woes and rising debt. How is that possible you may ask? Well we at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® have put forward what we feel are just some of the many reasons.

Melting pot: The Caribbean is a crucible for culture, art and cuisine. Many cultures were brought together by different influences over the years and now live in harmony, learning from each other and sharing experiences, knowledge and skills. As a result the Caribbean is very fortunate to share festivals; art forms such as music and folk dance and; many culinary classics with influences from Africa, India, China, Syria and South America just to name a few.  

The winter factor: A major pull factor is that the winters of many countries coincide with the loveliest part of the year in the Caribbean. The period ending November to just around Mid-April mark the post and pre-hurricane season respectively. It is amazing to see many parts of the Caribbean with their near perfect climates.

Beaches: The Caribbean boasts of some of the best beaches on the planet and its warm waters, thriving sea life and diving and/or snorkeling havens seem to be that proverbial “proof in the pudding”. Not the snorkeler or diving type? Why not try our deep sea fishing which is some of the best around with many annual world classics held in various islands e.g. Antigua and St. Thomas just to mention a couple. If this is still not your thing, then we encourage you to bring that book that has been on your bedside table for the longest while, give us a week or less. Just go to the beach, park yourself on the soft bed of sand or beach chair and we will do the rest.

Diversity in landscape: The Flora and Fauna in the islands varies around the Caribbean. From the thick tropical rainforest type regions of Trinidad and Dominica to dry shrubbery but equally beautiful landscapes of Anguilla and Aruba, there is something for any visitor’s whim. Eco-tourism is now one of the fastest growing niche markets in the world and the concept is also popular in the Caribbean.

Service: The tourism sector is the single largest employer besides the public service in the islands and as a result a great deal of emphasis is placed on service and customer satisfaction. Tertiary institutes like the University of the West Indies open campus (U.W.I.), University of St. Martin (U.S.M.) and many hospitality institutes (e.g. Antigua and Tobago) around the region certify students before they seek work in the industry. Here the customer is indeed king.

The exchange rate factor: Currencies such as the USD (US Dollar); GBP (Great Britain Pound); CAN (Canadian Dollar) EUR (Euro) gives you very good value for the exchange rate it attracts versus the island’s currencies like the Jamaican Dollar, Eastern Caribbean Dollar, Barbadian Dollar and Trinidad & Tobago Dollar to name just a few.

Ease of transport: Flying from North, South, Central America and different parts of Europe has never been easier. Several prestigious airlines have seen the demand for the Caribbean destinations on the upsurge and have facilitated this by adding the best of their fleet to travel to many of these exotic islands. Examples of airport hubs include Antigua, St. Maarten, Barbados, and St. Lucia. From these hubs you can transfer to different islands using the various regional airlines.

Stable Governance: Though many Caribbean people are very passionate about their politics and government actions (or inactions), the Caribbean has been very stable politically over the years. A few instances of strife has reared its heads over the years e.g. in Trinidad (1990) and Grenada (1983), but generally any instability has been non-existent. Visitors can visit without worry that tomorrow army tanks and curfews would be in place; lots of our islands do not even have armies or even police carrying arms!

 

Caribbean stress does not exist: Visitors are mesmerized by the islands that seem to be held in time when stress was not in the dictionary. The laid back attitudes of locals taking their time and “feeling the breeze” even on the odd occasion it is not blowing sometimes annoys first-time visitors. But many are soon converted and convinced of what is importance in life.

See if any of these fit your profile:

•           You are indispensable and the office needs you to be in constant communication 24/7;

•           You have to be latched on to social media to learn what your friends are up to always;

•           Just hearing an e-mail or text buzzing in or hearing a phone ringing send up your blood pressure;

•           You cannot be bored, must always be doing something;

•           A family meal consists of dad checking his e-mail on his mobile, daughter texting, son’s eyes stuck in a hand-held game and mom on laptop. Yes mom did not get away from us either!

If you fit any one or more than one of the above then you need to visit the region for your Caribbean Holidays No one is indispensable; you can have a thousand acquaintances on social media but no friends; we will insist you switch off that stupid phone, be it smart, not so smart or basic; if you can’t allow yourself to be bored then you really need to wind down and; there is nothing in life than quality family time.

We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® hope we have covered some of the main reasons for Caribbean travel and look forward to serving you in the very near future.

Natural Disasters In The Caribbean

March 15, 2011 by

Our prayers and goodwill reach out to the people of Japan during this their time of need.

We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® thought that this was the opportune time to touch on this critical topic as well. In the Caribbean our major risk from natural disasters come in the form of the annual hurricane season, earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Hurricane season: This period officially spans from June 1st to November 30th but we wait for the meteorological officials to tell us it’s all over formally over the media. The peak of the hurricane season is usually in September.

Hurricane Belt (Zone): There is a hurricane belt which gives an indication of which areas of the Caribbean lie inside and outside the general path of these tropical super storms. Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Providencia Island, San Andreas, Panama and the islands off of Venezuela all are in the so called safe-zone. However during the hurricane season, Barbados, Tobago and even Trinidad (the most southerly isle in the eastern Caribbean), experience warnings as the path of the hurricanes are being finalized.

Hurricane Categories: Hurricanes are rated in strength in categories from one being the weakest to five being the strongest. Storms are named as soon as the winds are 39 mph or more. In other words, a storm must start as a Tropical Depression and move on to become a Tropical Storm before it is given a name.

Hurricane naming: Weather gurus give each hurricane a name so there is no confusion when talking about a particular storm as there can be several coming off the west coast of Africa where they are initially formed. Each year, the first tropical storm of the season is given a name that starts with A, the second storm is given a name that starts with a B, and so on (the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used because there are few common names starting with these letters). Women’s and men’s names are alternated, this started in 1979. The name lists are made up by meteorologists at the World Meteorological Organization. There are different name lists for Atlantic and eastern Pacific tropical storms. The names of very destructive storms are retired and never reused, e.g. Hugo (1989) and Katrina (2005)

Putting off your Caribbean Holiday until after the Hurricane Season: This is solely up to you but we will tell you this, rates are at their best during this time of Hurricane season and truly most hotels are fully equipped to handle even the strongest storms. Hurricanes normally do not last long and many accommodations have back-up generators for power and emergency plans for their guests.

Volcanic activity in the Caribbean: Almost immediately most people knowledgeable of the Caribbean region will say Montserrat. That is indeed the most recent and major ongoing volcanic activity in the region after the Soufriere Hills (Montserrat) volcano erupted in 1995 after a long period of warning signs. Before this, the major disruption occurred in St. Vincent 1979 with their Soufriere (St. Vincent) Volcano erupting and causing ash clouds and pyroclastic avalanches. Montserrat actually is finding quite a niche market in volcano-tourism with many visitors going to the island to observe an active volcano against the backdrop of the Caribbean beauty and climate.

Earthquakes in the Caribbean region: Haiti comes to mind with their powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake that hit them in January 2010. The Caribbean region as a whole is not known for its seismic activity but tremors are often felt in our islands. The islands of Caribbean Insider’s Guide® lie on what is known as the Caribbean plate, to the North is the North American plate and to the South the South American Plate. It is basically the major shifting of these plates that can lead to major earthquakes in the region.

Barbados = True Caribbean hospitality

March 13, 2011 by

For those of us that have frequented or been fortunate to travel for a Caribbean Holiday to the island of Barbados you will be nodding your heads right now when you see our post’s topic. For those that have not visited as yet, don’t worry, there is plenty hospitality for everyone!

Barbados has become one of the world’s premier destinations. But what has been some of the fundamentals that have niched this most easterly isle of the Caribbean archipelagos and made it able to compete against all of the tourism world’s heavy hitters?

Sure marketing does a lot; package deals; great accommodations for all income brackets; a nice big airport and long runway; lovely seas, sands and climate. But what separates Barbados? We say that without excellent people in your model all of the other factors can result in nothing.

At an early age, people in Barbados recognize the importance of their visitor. Trust us when we say, almost everyone here is an ambassador to this nation. Locals are referred to as “Bajans” and they are a proud folk. Proud of what an excellent vehicle of service they have created, sustained and continued to maintain to this day.

Most Bajans have some link to the service industry and know well that this is the heartbeat to their country. The government provides stable and excellent leadership on all fronts and this vision is effectively shared by all of society.

Lost in Bridgetown, ask any local and you most likely will get led to your destination even if that person was going the opposite way! On the unlikely occasion you are harassed or overly touted by someone, other locals may pull them up and apologize for any undue behavior.

Hospitality in Barbados therefore does not reside just within the walls of your chosen abode or where they are after your money or hoping for a fat tip. Here it is real and they are the real deal in getting you here again.

Our recommendation? Try Barbados, see for yourself. It is not remiss of us to say that many other Caribbean islands can follow example of just what makes a perfect tourism model – your people, all the people, not just some people.

Cuba – Growing as a Top Tourist destination

March 8, 2011 by

North American visits are on the rise to the lovely island of Cuba. With the anticipation of relaxed barriers of trade and travel on travellers’ minds, this destination is becoming quite sought after.

Recently the US administrators have allowed visits by their nationals if they meet certain criteria to qualify for flying to Cuba: If they have close relatives in Cuba; if they wish to conduct business in the medical or agricultural sectors or; if they wish to travel for educational or religous purposes. Visitors can now fly from Tampa, Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, New Orleans, Chicago, Pittsburg, and Puerto Rico. This is in addition to airports that currently have flights leaving their terminals to Cuba – New York, Miami and Los Angelos.

Not to be left out, several ferry operators out of Tampa and Florida have filed for permission to offer services between America and Cuba. They say it is an awaiting niche market which can provide much needed jobs to their citizens as well as offer passengers many advantages such as cheaper fares and the ability to take much more luggage and goods on board for their families back in Cuba.

In 2010, Cuban tourism grew some 4 percent when 2.5 million people visited Cuba. Canadian visitors lead the way by leaps and bounds. Canadian airlines such as Air Canada, Westjet and Sunwing Air Lines fly from Canada to approximately ten Cuban tourist centres like the famous Varadero resort. By the end of the year, Canadian arrivals exceeded 900k, a slight increase from the previous year by that date and it is showing continuous growth in the last few years. Advertising in Canada is also on the upswing with radio, TV and signage being at an all-time high. The pull of Cuba is due to it’s still unspoilt heritage, rich culture and breathtaking resorts.

It seems that their is a slow transition from the once off limits Cuba. The country is moving towards being a top Caribbean destination once more.

Oil & Tourism

March 8, 2011 by

With all the unrest that is presently happening in the Middle East the world tourism market is hoping it is quickly and peacefully resolved. With continued speculation by consumers and by extension the markets they control driving the price per barrel of oil upwards, it is feared that fuel and related costs for travel may also climb.

Will the tourism industry be adversely affected throughout the Caribbean? We have found that when oil prices rise significantly and airlines pass this cost to its passengers, tourism settles for destinations closer to its homes.

For example, American tourists go more to the Bahamas, Europeans to closer destinations within the continent and Canada to driving to the States or other parts of their country. Also cruise liners reduce the amount of planned voyages and destination ports have to accept less calls to their ports.

The result can be a ripple effect that can negatively affect the seasonal employment of locals affecting the islands’ GDP. Coupled with this as costs rise due to oil price pressures, people from the islands living in foriegn lands repatriate less money to their families in the islands leading to a negative impact on the countries financial inflows as well.

So the prayer for peace is not only for democracy to reign or for peace to prosper but also for our Caribbean market to weather a storm that after the recession of 2008/2009 we will not like to face in a hurry again.

March 2011: Anguilla is our Island of the month

March 8, 2011 by

Long revered as an escape for the super rich and famous, Anguilla is one of the loviest Caribbean Holiday destinations in the region. Accessiblity for foreign visitors is best sought by flying in to Princess Juliana International Ariport on the Dutch-side of St. Maarten and then ferrying across from either the Dutch or French sides. We prefer the French departure as the ride is much shorter and reliable.

Anguilla is called tranquility wrapped in blue and when you get there you will realise why. The ocean looks like a perfect pool, warm and inviting. The sands are powdery white and quite dazzling on a bright sunlit day.

If the super high-end hotels and villas are out of reach from your budget, don’t worry, there are many guest houses and self-contained apartments that will be happy to serve you.

Visit the many quiet and gorgeous beaches and be awe inspired by the breath-taking views such as Shoal Bay, Rendezvous Bay and Mead’s Bay. Make sure and book a day trip to one of Anguilla’s offshore keys like Prickly Pear. So much to do but keep it in the true Caribbean mode, take it easy, take it slow, one day at a time. Enjoy your Caribbean adventure!
