The Caribbean has been part of my travel life for more than thirty years — and I’m still not tired of it. Not because every island is the same, but because they’re not. Aruba and St. Lucia are as different as two destinations can be. An all-inclusive in Punta Cana and a boutique cliffside resort in Soufrière are entirely different trips. The Caribbean rewards travelers who know what they’re looking for — and punishes those who book blind.
These guides are designed to help you choose well. I write about Caribbean destinations from the perspective of someone who cares as much about what you eat and where you stay as about the beach itself — because the best Caribbean trips are never just about the beach.
