Too many choices
Looking to get to the Caribbean this summer with several of my male friends, just the guys. We 22-24 years old. Thinking of Puerto Rico, Aruba, Barbados or St. Kitts. Any suggestions on which is the better choice for us and where not to stay?

St. Kitts may be a little quiet for your group. I would look closely at Aruba, or San Juan if you want some latin flavor to your trip. If it's not too late in the summer (hurricanes) you might also look at the Yucatan.

It would help if you gave us some idea of what type of experience/activities interest you and your friends. Also give us and idea of your budget for accommodations, food, and activities.
In order for us to tell you where "not to stay" we need to know what type of places "turn you off".

Personally I never liked PR, been twice. Barbados around St Lawrence/Gap, St Lucia around Rodney Bay, Aruba and St Martin is where I would recommend if it is just for a good time and some nice beaches.

I agree, it really depends on what you are looking to do on your trip. You will find more activities, restaurants and bars in PR, Aruba and Barbados. You'll find less expensive accomendations and food/drink prices in Mexico and tons of things to see and do off the resorts. There are several hotels on and around 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen. If you are interested in an all inclusive resort so you don't have to come up with extra money for food and drinks, the RIU's in Mexico would work for your group.
