With the summer ending and the fall season approaching, Caribbean destinations and travel suppliers are offering a variety of packages to lure vacationers south for one more warm weather adventure. Fortunately for travelers, Caribbean resorts frequently offer their very best vacation values during the late summer and fall.

For example, the Turks & Caicos’ The Sands at Grace Bay is offering “Fourth Night Free” packages that can be combined with low-season rates starting at $195 per night. The offer applies to stays of four nights or more through Dec. 19, 2015.

Located on Providenciales’ Grace Bay Beach, the Sands at Grace Bay resort features an array of free amenities including watersports, bicycles and three swimming pools. Travelers will have increased air access to the Turks & Caicos as JetBlue Airways recently announced new daily nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport beginning in November, while United Airlines will offer new, seasonal service to Providenciales from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport beginning this December.

On Oct. 23, the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino will celebrate its 25th anniversary, and the resort is celebrating the milestone with a 25-themed promotion featuring $25 room rates, spa discounts of 25 percent, and $2.50 breakfasts and cocktails.

The Bahamas’ Grand Lucayan resort will debut Lighthouse Pointe, an all-inclusive wing, at the end of 2015. The new resort area will complement Grand Lucayan’s base a lá carte section. In honor of the launch, Grand Lucayan is offering guests introductory rates starting at $170 per person, per night, double occupancy, for stays from Dec. 12, 2015, through Jan. 3, 2016. The offer represents savings of up to 35 percent off standard rates.

Vacationers will also have access to fitness classes, a spa and the resort’s yoga center. Lighthouse Pointe will also offer guests eight dining options, four of which will be exclusive to all-inclusive guests.

Standard rates for Lighthouse Pointe will start at $262 per person, per night, double occupancy and include all meals, beverages and premium brand alcohol; plus recreation, including golf, tennis, spa access and use of water sports and entertainment.
