Best casino in the Caribbean?
 
Girls getaway 3-4 night mini vacation. I need suggestions for a great casino with 4 or 5 star hotel. Any suggestions?

You might want to look into the following hotels in Puerto Rico - Ritz Carlton, El San Juan and Condado Plaza.

Here's my suggestion (because it also happens to be my favorite Carib. destination).

Stay at the Bucuti Resort (web site below) in Aruba and walk across the street to the Alhambra casino. If you do go, say hello to Charlene at the casino. Also, you can stay on Palm Beach at the Hilton, Marriott or various others.. I just prefer Eagle Beach, which is larger and much more quiet.

Hi,

Check out Aruba and the Aruba Marriott, the Hyatt Regency Aruba or the Occidental Grand if you want all-inclusive accommodations.

Best Regards,
Julia

Thanks for the info. Are there casinos in Barbados, Grand Cayman, and Dominican Republic. If so are the casinos attached to hotels.

the Atlantis-Paradise Island Bahamas.
Stay at the Royal Towers Club section for 4-5 star treatment. You'll feel like you're in Vegas only tropical. You'll gamble with famous people. Bands and dancing in sections of the casino. Shopping, excursions, people wathcing-you'll have it all. The girls will have a blast.

While I prefer going to PR more than Atlantis b/c of the food and nightlife of PR, i think casino for casino, Atlantis is bigger and as the poster said, you do get a vegas in the carribean feel. I too would suggest staying in the towers, but if you can afford it and there is availability, the One and Only Ocean Club is 5 star and they have shuttles to the Atlantis (at least they did, you might want to check if they still do. Have fun wherever you go!

The largest and nicest casino that I have seen was the Atlantis in Paradise Island.
We stayed in a suite in the Royal Towers. The suites are very nice. The food was also good in their better restaurants on property. There would be no need to leave the property and would be an easy weekend for 3-4 nights from a major east coast city.
