When we travel in the Caribbean, we are looking for the perfect beach resort – beautiful sandy beaches, no crowds, and great food. We don’t like high rises, night clubs, or casinos. We prefer restaurants over all-inclusive, but for the few resorts we have visited which are all-inclusive, they are extraordinary. We love to relax so we are looking for barefoot casual, rather than places where we have to dress up. Join us as we explore these resorts which offer the best in hospitality in the Caribbean. We will help you find your perfect beach resort.
