The Allure Of The Caribbean Islands

Escape to Island Paradise

Published: August 28,2010

Caribbean resorts are some of the most popular vacation getaways in the world, offering sunny skies, sparkling waters, and carefree island relaxation for couples to family and friends.

The Caribbean is divided into three main sections, the Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, and Southern Caribbean. Whether you want to relax on the popular sandy beaches of the Eastern Caribbean, explore the rain forests and ancient ruins of the Western Caribbean, or encounter the rain forests of the Southern Caribbean, there’s a perfect Caribbean resort just for you.

The Eastern Caribbean is known for its fantastic beaches, great shopping, and fun-filled activities. In the Eastern Caribbean, you can enjoy the rain forests warm weather, and sandy shores of popular destinations such as St. John, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, and more with many different options of Caribbean resorts.

The Western Caribbean boasts ancient Mayan ruins and beautiful rainforests, and offers wonderful opportunities for sightseeing, hiking, and more. From Cozumel to the Cayman Islands, Jamaica to Key West, the Western Caribbean’s stunning natural environments and fascinating history will delight travelers looking for adventure – whether it’s laying by the beach, water skiing, scuba diving, and more all at your wonderful Caribbean resort!

As the furthest region from the U.S., the Southern Caribbean includes exotic, less-traveled destinations. Southern Caribbean islands are mostly colonial settlements with heavy British, Dutch, and French elements. The diverse islands of Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, St. Lucia, and more provide unique resort experiences found nowhere else. From magnificent estates, half-mile crescent beaches, luxuriant gardens, and more, discover tropical paradise at a Caribbean resort in this region!
