Planning a Caribbean Island Vacation

The Caribbean is a vast expanse of islands and beach paradises; picking just one or several islands to visit can be a hard decision for many travelers. However, there are many resources that can help you narrow it down, such as Lonely Planet, who divides the islands into two categories, easily accessed and those further out. Tourists looking for a quick, enjoyable beach vacation might consider Aruba, which is best for those who do not like to plan too much in advance, or the Bahamas, ideal for those who want a little more adventure through island hopping and diving opportunities. Other resources, like U.S. News & World Report, rank the islands based on a variety of criteria. At the top of the list is the British Virgin Islands, followed by St. Lucia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Before you plan your Caribbean trip, be sure to conduct thorough research in order to get the most of your dream vacation.
