Trip Planning & Itineraries

Spend a bit of time in the Caribbean and you risk taking paradise for granted. And how easy it is too, for there are far too many perfect beaches, shimmering coral reefs and beautiful sunsets throughout the islands of the Caribbean, not to mention idyllic resorts and mangrove forests.

Ok now, all together: Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you, Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama…

Destination: Aruba

Beaches that make you say "ahhh" - that's Aruba. Grab the kids, pack your sun screen, and get ready to swim, snorkel, sail, ride an ATV… anything is possible in a tropical paradise.

Best of the Caribbean: Top Hotels

In addition to these options, find Caribbean rental villas from HomeAway.com.

Horned Dorset Primavera -- Rincon, Puerto Rico

Undoubtedly the best small resort in Puerto Rico - and perhaps even the Caribbean (though you may have to remortgage your house to stay here). Forget the rather obscure name; this place claims to offer the 'epitome of privacy, elegance and service,' and it certainly delivers. There are 30 suites in private villas that are furnished with hand-carved antiques and come equipped with their own private plunge pools (just in case you get bored of the communal infinity pool).

Turtle Nest Inn -- Grand Cayman Island

The Turtle Nest Inn and Condos is an exotic, beachfront alternative to the large hotel chains and pricey complexes found throughout the rest of the amazing Grand Cayman Island. This intimate inn provides a genuine island experience complete with superb snorkeling, two fresh water pools, a sandy beach, and fully-furnished apartments and condos. What makes the Turtle Nest stand out? Well, a full apartment at the Inn, complete with a full kitchen, costs less than a standard room in most Grand Cayman hotels.

Sunset at the Palms Resort -- Jamaica

An ecoconscious resort with heaps of jungle atmosphere. It has 86 all-hardwood, Thai-style cabins raised on stilts amid lush grounds full of croaking tree frogs. Interior decor features leather sofas and Chinese rugs. Superior rooms have TV; all rooms have safes. Facilities include a fitness center and tennis court plus games room, Jacuzzi, swim-up bar and romantic restaurant serving top-notch cuisine.

Suggested Itineraries: the Caribbean

The Caribbean summer is usually a gorgeous stretch of weather lasting from April to October: temperatures stay predictably high and hotel rooms are full to bursting. But paradise comes at a price, and in the Caribbean the price is hurricane season.

Your chances of getting belted by one remain surprisingly small, but they will disrupt weather patterns for miles around. There are alternatives: you could visit in the winter, when the weather isn't half bad, or head south to the ABCs (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao), which sit comfortably outside the hurricane belt.
