Overview
Antigua and Barbuda is a relatively expensive Caribbean destination, largely due to its dependence on imports for most goods and its positioning as an upscale resort island. Accommodation and dining at tourist-facing establishments are the biggest cost drivers, with luxury all-inclusive resorts pushing daily spend well above $500. Budget travelers can manage by staying in guesthouses, eating at local spots, and using shared minibus transport.
Notes
Eating at local roadside stalls and the public market in St. John's can dramatically reduce food costs, and using the shared minibus network instead of taxis will save significant money getting around the island.
