Caribbean
The Caribbean provides the ideal hideaway, windswept beaches where the only footprints are yours; coral reefs fringing pristine white sand and undiscovered coves. For the romantic there are lush tropical gardens and dramatic stretches of coastline along the shores of Barbados to explore; private islands for afternoon picnics by warm turquoise waters. Find blissful seclusion trekking the dense rainforests of Jamaica or drift like a castaway amongst the picture perfect islands of Turks and Caicos. The hotspots of St Barths are a magnet to the jet-set, whilst the colourful market places of Antigua and St Lucia burst with fruits and handicrafts.

Broadly speaking, Cuba attracts two kinds....

Dominican Republic
There are two sides to the Dominican Republic, just like there are two sides of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which the Dominican Republic shares with neighbouring Haiti.
