With thousands of Caribbean Islands to choose from, how do you know you have selected the right island for your trip? I am here to help. This is Part 4 of my Discover Your Perfect Caribbean Island. This guide is a quick overview to help you decide if you need to learn more about a specific island.
Curacao
Perfect for Strolling the Streets and Beach
Curacao is an adorable Dutch island. You will see the cerulean St. Anna Bay reflected in the pinks, oranges, yellows, and greens of the brightly colored colonial buildings. You will adore strolling the streets and the gorgeous beaches.
Resorts Jessie Recommends for Curacao: Baoase Luxury Resort, Kontiki Beach Resort, and Santa Barbara Beach and Golf Resort.
Costa Rica
Perfect for Adventure Seekers
Costa Rica's charm lies in its verdant rainforests, pristine beaches, and abundance of unusual wildlife. From toucans to jaguars, you will find something to tingle your senses in Costa Rica. It also offers resorts at a variety of price points and locations.
Resorts Jessie Recommends for Costa Rica: Nayara Springs, Kura Boutique Hotel, and Four Seasons Penisula Papagayo.
Dominican Republic
Perfect for All-Inclusive and Beach Lovers
The Dominican Republic is home so some of the most gorgeous and luxurious all-inclusive resorts in the world. The beaches are stunning, and the vibe is laid back. If you want to do nothing but lay on the beach and imbibe in adult beverages, the Dominican Republic is for you.
Resorts Jessie Recommends for the Dominican Republic: Tortuga Bay Resort and Club, Ananera, and Eden Roc Cap Cana.
US Virgin Islands
Perfect for Island Hopping
The US Virgin Islands are comprised of St Croix, St Thomas, and St John. Each is special in its own way. So how about a little island hopping? That way you'll get plenty of pampering, time in nature and colonial history all rolled into one unforgettable vacation! We love the USVI, so much that we chose it as our destination for Duncan's 13th Birthday.
Resorts Jessie Recommends for USVI: Ritz Carlton St Thomas, Westin St John, and Caneel Bay.
St Barths
Perfect for Hobnobbing with the Rich & Famous
A tropical paradise that is a regular haunt of "It Girls" like Bella Hadid, Chrissy Teigen, and Jessica Alba. It is an overseas territory of France; it blends the sophistication of St.Tropez with the laid back Caribbean lifestyle. St Barths is both exclusive and unpretentious.
Resorts Jessie Recommends for St Barths: Eden Roc St Barths, Hotel Le Toiny, and Le Sereno.
