Jamaica x 1 (didn't love it)
Aruba x 4 (love it) Provo, T&C x 3 (heaven) Others....Cancun x 3 (used to like it; too built up now) Cozumel x 1 (liked it) Playa del Carmen x 4 (used to be our #1 place until we discovered the T&C Islands). On our short list to try...Grand Cayman and Anguilla |
Jamaica
DR Haiti PR incl. Vieques USVIs BVIs St.Barts St.Martin St.Lucia Barbuda Antigua Isla de Mujeres Cozumel Bay Islands Los Roques Margaritta Aruba Bonaire Guadeloupe Les Saintes Barbados CARIBTRAVELER: Ziggy is nowhere as popular as Damian Marley whose 'Jamrock' took island by storm and inspired many other 'ghetto protest' singers. Commercial dancehall/US hip-hop may monopolize the radio/club playlists (Sean-Paul, Rhihanna,etc.) but Luciano is one of the enduring favorites on island. |
Here's my little list.
Jamaica x2 St Lucia x2 St John #2 coming this November, notice a pattern here? BVI's Virgin Gorda, Marina Cay, Jost Van Dyke, day trips Grenadines, Union, Palm, Mayreau, Tobago Cays, day trip. The island fever hit bad after St Lucia in 2003 and I can't seem to stop going there now. What an affliction! |
Caribbean Islands:
Puerto Rico Antiqua Anguilla St. Barts St. Maarten/Martin Saba Statia Tintamarre Prickley Pear Grenada St. Lucia Carriacou Canouan Mayreau Bequia St. Vincent Tobago Cays Palm Island Young Island Union Island Trinidad St. Kitts Nevis Barbados Outside Caribbean: Bermuda(loved it but has been many years) Bahamas(once was enough) Cancun(again once was enough) Anastasia Island, St. Augustine FL Cape Hatteras, North Carolina Wheeling Island, Wheeling WVa and last but not least Neville Island, Pittsburgh Pa. Those who know the area will appreciate my listing the last two :) |
Haven't been to PA, but I love OBX! So, yes, I do appreciate the last two!!

With all of the travelers visiting so many places I have a question: Who has stayed at Parrot CAYE in T&C? How were the accommodations, food (it is isolated so one has to count on their restaurants), courtesy of staff and snorkel and diving outings they offer? We are planning on putting down a deposit next month for March or we cannot get in. All relevant first-hand feedback in past 12-18 months would be welcomed!
Thanks. |
Tivertonhouse: How interesting. I had NO idea, so thank you very much for that info.
|
I'm impressed with everyone's lists. My short list is:
Turks and Caicos, Grace Bay St Martin x 2 Aruba Jamaica Barbados Maui Cancun x 2 |
Just started visiting the island as of last year - we cruised twice so we were able to hit pretty many islands....
Puerto Rico - twice - one cruise, one land based vacation St Thomas St Lucia Barbados Antigua St Martin Grand Cayman Belize |
Not as many as some of you but here goes:
Jamiaca St. Thomas Vieques Puerto Rico Petit St. Vincent Carriacou Grenada Union Island Palm Island Barbados Aruba Tobago Cays Turks & Caicos: Provo, North Caicos Exumas, Staniel Cay Harbour Island Eleuthera St. Lucia Grenada Abacos: Green Turtle Cay, Great Guana Cay, Treasure Cay Isla Mujeres Cozumel (Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Akumal - just Caribbean water!) And soo many more to go!! |
Oh Dear !! I have a VERY short list.
1.Barbados 2.Margarita Island 3.Jamaica I guess what kept it shorter was 3 trips to Costa Rica. I think this is indeed a fun idea, and it IS informative. I can see who is interested in the same islands as I am, and in future direct questions at them. |
This would have been a really interesting post if everyone would have told their top 3 favorite islands. Particularly those who have ten or more. So how about it?
|
Top 3:
Jamaica Los Roques Les Saintes/Iles des Saintes Bottom 3: The DR Aruba USVIs |
