Saintes island, or the 'Islands of the Saints' as they are sometimes known are a small group of eight islands (although only two are inhabited) north of Dominica in the Caribbean Sea. Small boats run between the island regularly as there is no public airport. This is the ideal destination for travelers who enjoy unspoilt beauty and serenity. Many beautiful white sandy beaches can be found here, offering amazing snorkelling opportunities, and historical sites for visitors to explore. There is a choice of hotels in Saintes Island for all budgets, but many of the Saintes Island hotels tend to be located in the charming Terre de Haut. The other less frequented island is Terre-de-Bas, which also has some cheap hotels to offer visitors.
