Halcyon Cove

So, I was asked to provide a review of some potential holiday destinations this summer for our lads holiday. Here's one place then, Halcyon Cove in Antigua.

To fight the global recession and keep tourists heading there, this month the Antigua Tourist Board is offering a £120-per-adult discount on all seven-night (or more) trips to the island. Halcyon Bay works out at only £3 a night (room only) and you can take the holiday at any time in 2009. So for around £500 you could have flights and accommodation for a week in this Carribbean paradise.

The obvious downer on this one is that £500 is still a lot of money for the students in our group, and that doesn't even take into account the spending money.

In any case, in the buildup to booking your holiday I'd recommend keeping an eye out for bargains in the West Indies.
