Enjoying Caribbean Vacation
If you are a beach lover who enjoys sunbathing, getting a tan, and listening to the waves, you will definitely have fun during your Caribbean vacation. You not only get to do the things that you love, you can also appreciate the white sand of the Caribbean Island beaches.
If you are the adventurous type who enjoys such water sports as surfing, you may want to check out the islands that are situated in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters in these areas are noted for the waves, which never fail to give most surfers the high or challenge that they are looking for.
If you are the type who prefers to appreciate the different creatures underwater, then you will definitely enjoy the tranquil waters of the Caribbean Sea.
If these activities are not what you have in mind, there are still many water activities that you can do during your Caribbean vacation. These include dolphin watching (and you may even swim with the dolphins if you want!), windsurfing, and sailing.
Two of the most popular tourist destinations for Caribbean vacations are the islands of Jamaica and Barbados. But a lesser known island located near the Leeward Islands, Antique, is slowly starting to become a favorite among tourists.
What most tourists love about Antigua are the beaches. It is said the island has 365 beaches, though this information is still subject to debate. Whether the island truly has 365 beaches or not, it still has more than enough beaches to satisfy the picky tourist. Some of the most notable beaches include Dickenson Bay, Half Moon Bay, Long Bay, and Rendezvous Beach. Food and lodgings are not a problem as there are several hotels and restaurants located on and near the beaches. You may even come across some offices that offer and organize cruises (boat and catamaran) and trips (scuba diving and snorkeling).
Aside from the beaches, you can also enjoy other places in Antigua such as Nelson’s Dockyard and Long Street in St. John’s town. Nelson’s Dockyard was once bustling with activity. At present, it is considered a living museum. You can find several old buildings at Long Street in St John’s town. You can also sample West Indian cuisine at the restaurants located in the same street.

What are the nicest vacation destinations in the Caribbean?
Next spring I plan to go on vacation to the Caribbean, and I was wondering where to go? I do not like secluded places, I like to see nice hotels, city life (if the case) and lots of people around me. I enjoy lively spaces, not isolation. Any ideas?

Fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico, take a cruise ship there and visit various destinations at the same time without having to pack and unpack. I suggest a cruise ship that visits Curacao. Its capital, Willemstad, is a beautiful town. St. Maarten and St. Thomas are shopping paradises. All these islands have gorgeous beaches, and their people are very nice. Visit the Royal Caribbean website and browse around. You won’t be sorry you did. By the way, I don’t work for Royal Caribbean, I’m just a cruise freak. Have a good one.

Yea I’d take a cruise so that I could see the islands for myself. But if by next spring you mean late april early may I’d go to Antigua… that’s when they have their annual yacht regattas. The night life would be awesome and we have some really good hotels and beaches.
Good Luck.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia and Cozumel, Mexico are all nice lively destinations. They each have lots of things to do and the people are very friendly.

CUBA. CUBA. CUBA. (unless you’re American, in which case, you’re sadly missing out.)
Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic is AWESOME (specifically Playa Dorada). It’s a large metropolis, so there’s lots to do and lots of people. Playa Dorada is about a 15 minute drive from the city, but there’s plenty of clubs and bars and restaurants right where you are!

I highly recommend Barbados, add St. Lucia, if you want to go to more than one place in all one vacation.
Barbados has a lot to offer, interesting and historic places to see.
Its capital is known for duty-free shopping, there are also beaches that has white, sandy beaches, and clear, beautiful water.
In the capital, you can do anything from dining to shopping.
The public transit is cheap. 1.50 BDS each way. It’s either a large bus, mini bus or route taxi.
You can always do a tour around the island either by a taxi (ask for flat rate in case), a tour bus, Island Tour (I think).
There are SOO MUCH to see, to do!

Barbados is one of the best places to visit. Since you want someplace lively then you can stay St. Lawrence Gap where there is always activity. More information can be had on the net.
