2 Weeks in Caribbean
2 adults (late 30's)
2 Weeks
Budget - 4500 + Air
Looking to spend 2 weeks on 3 different islands. We would like part of the time to be very secluded but also want to spend some of the time hanging with locals, live music, some adventure.
I love Turks and Caicos but not a necessity. We do want to stay away from the touristy areas but also keep within budget.
Any suggestions???

2 weeks what time of year? How many persons?
So around $321 nightly?
Island hopping is expensive, not very dependable, and only in groupings (or loose 3-4 days in travel and backtracking)
You could do Barbados/Grenada (Barbados more expensive)
St. Martin/St. Barts/Anguilla (ST. Martin affordable, so stay put and day trip, other 2 islands expensive)
You can combine British and US VIrgin Islands
You can try to combine Out Islands in Bahamas, but requires small planes and backtrack to Nassau
Cayman/Brac and Little
Antigua with Barbuda (Barbuda expensive)
Puerto Rico with Culebra and Viesques
Island Hopping in general is not easy in Caribbean!

St Martin-St Barts-Saba in 12 days, St Martin-Anguilla-Saba in 12 days, Antigua-Montserrat in 10 days have all been personally done before. I would add St Kitts-Nevis to Blamona's list, although I haven't actually done it.

Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.
In Jamaica stay in hotels located in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. All 3 sections of the Island is so very different it's like staying in a different destination.
Fly to Barbados and do day trips to St. Lucia, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Hawaiian Islands or take a cruise and get in several Islands at once.
Island hopping is not a easy as people might think. Unless there is a ferry or local puddle jumper airplane you will have to return to Miami or Puerto Rico to get to another Island.
$4,500 + air is really not a lot of money for what you are wanting to do. A cruise would be more cost efficient if you want to island hop.

Agree with Blamona's list -
St martin and Anguilla (you can fly into St martin and take the ferry over to Anguilla for a completely different exp)
Tortolla for a week (with day trips to Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke) and St John for the other week. No extra plane travel involved.
