The Lighthouse Bay Resort in Antigua and Barbuda is the most expensive hotel in the Caribbean, according to a new survey conducted by CaribbeanResorts.net and Allinclusiveresorts.net. The rankings are based on each hotel’s average rate for the most affordable double room. The Caribbean’s high travel season of January to March 2013 served as the basis of comparison.
To stay in the Lighthouse Bay this past season, travelers had to spend an average of $2,490 per night. That’s considerably more than the second most expensive hotel, the Amanyara resort in the Turks & Caicos Islands. The No. 2 finisher came in at an average of $2,059 per night. Anguilla’s Sheriva Villa Hotel rounded out the top 3 at an average of $1,914 per night.
Following are the rankings for the other most expensive luxury hotels in the Caribbean. The rates shown reflect the average rate for each hotel’s most affordable double room for the period January 15 to March 30, 2013.
