My Top Caribbean Picks

‍

🌴 Puerto Rico

A vibrant island full of history, natural beauty, and no passport required for U.S. travelers. Puerto Rico offers something for every type of traveler—from the cobblestone streets and colorful buildings of Old San Juan to the lush El Yunque rainforest and beautiful beaches of Vieques and Culebra. It’s perfect for quick getaways, extended stays, or even a cruise stop with a little extra flair. I love recommending Puerto Rico for its cultural richness, great food, and easy travel logistics.

‍

🌴 St. Lucia

Romantic, lush, and luxurious—St. Lucia is pure postcard perfection. With the iconic Pitons rising above the sea and spa-like resorts tucked into the hills, it’s an ideal spot for honeymoons or milestone celebrations. Add in a little adventure (like a mud bath at Sulphur Springs or a sunset catamaran cruise), and you’ve got an unforgettable trip.

🌴 Jamaica

Jamaica brings energy, flavor, and fun. Whether you're soaking in the laid-back rhythm of Negril or heading inland to explore waterfalls and Blue Mountain coffee farms, this island has a little bit of everything. It’s also one of the most cruise-friendly destinations in the Caribbean.

🌴 The Bahamas

With over 700 islands, The Bahamas is more than just Nassau (though that’s a great starting point!). From swimming pigs in the Exumas to snorkeling at a private island, it’s easy to customize your trip to your vibe—whether that’s total relaxation or exploring the outdoors.

🌴 Dominican Republic

For travelers who want variety, the DR delivers. There’s rich history in Santo Domingo, luxurious resorts in Punta Cana, and even mountain adventures for those who like to get off the beach. It’s also a great option for group travel and destination weddings.

🌴 Aruba

If you’re looking for sunshine year-round, Aruba has it. This happy island offers calm beaches, colorful towns, and easy access to adventure. Aruba has reliable weather, great food, and a relaxed vibe without sacrificing comfort.

Tips for Planning a Caribbean Getaway

‍

Go Beyond the Beach

Yes, the beaches are stunning—but there’s so much more to explore! Ask me about private tours, cultural experiences, and day trips that give you a deeper connection to the island you’re visiting.

Consider Island-Hopping

Can’t decide? Why not visit two? With cruise options and regional flights, you can easily combine destinations for a more immersive experience.

Add Private Transfers

Make your arrival and departure stress-free with pre-booked private transportation. It’s a small touch that adds big comfort, especially after a long travel day.

Taste the Flavors

Each island has its own culinary style. Be sure to sample some local favorites—whether it’s fresh seafood in The Bahamas, roadside jerk chicken in Jamaica, or a rum punch at sunset.

Let me help you lock in the best experience, from flights and hotels to excursions and insurance.sible tourism by respecting marine life during water activities, properly disposing of waste, and supporting eco-friendly initiatives.
