The "problem" with Caribbean Spanish (Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Caribbean coast of Colombia) is that it's spoken kind of fast and clipped. What you'll get in the classroom is textbook Spanish, but once you get outisde and start practicing, you'll hear an accent that's (I think) difficult for a beginner to understand.

Obviously, every country has its own accent, but the Spanish spoken in Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Ecuador comes closest to that classroom Spanish, which is why those five countries are such popular places for English speakers to study the language. If being in the Caribbean is important to you, you can manage. If it's the learning Spanish part that's most important, I'd look at one of those countries rather than an island in the Caribbean.
