Looking for americanized carribbean island?
 
I am a fan of the americanized islands. I have been to Aruba, Bahamas, Grand Cayman and Turks and Caicos and enjoyed Aruba the most. I like having the american restaurant options for days we do not feel like spending almost $200 on dinner. I also enjoy shopping for deals at stores on the islands that sell american merchandise for much less $. Hotels in Aruba were some of the finest I have ever seen. Please advise on any island that compares to Aruba. Just looking for a new experience similar to Aruba. Thanks

Try Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas), St. Maarten/St. Martin, and the Florida Keys (LOL)

Try St. Thomas. Tons of shopping.

If you want Americanized, try Cancun. I just got back from Cancun (Feb) and Aruba in Sept. Cancun is like Las Vegas with an Ocean.

St.John if you like quiet relaxation. It won't be as busy as aruba and not as much shopping, but you can take the short ferry ride over to st.thomas for that
