How we plan the Caribbean
Some islands are made for doing very little, others for diving, hiking or long dinners in town. We match the island and the resort to how you like to travel, then arrange the flights, transfers and reservations, so your time goes to the water instead of the research.
Destinations
Each island has its own pace. Choose one to see how we plan it, or ask us to help you compare.
Calm beaches, Oranjestad and Arikok National Park.
Nassau, the Exumas and Harbour Island.
Calm west coast beaches and historic Bridgetown.
Pink sand beaches, pastel harbors and historic St. George, two hours from New York.
Four main islands and dozens of small ones, best seen from a boat.
Seven Mile Beach, calm turquoise water and Cayman Cookout, the island’s food weekend each January.
Punta Cana, La Romana and Santo Domingo.
Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios.
Cancún beaches, Tulum’s clifftop ruins, Cozumel reefs and jungle cenotes.
Old San Juan, El Yunque rainforest, Culebra, Vieques and the surf towns of the west coast.
The Pitons, the rainforest and sheltered Caribbean bays.
Grace Bay, coral reefs and quiet cays.
Paradise Island with the kids, or Punta Cana for two, December to April
Before we suggest an island, we ask who’s coming. With children, we’d look at Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, where The Royal, The Cove and The Reef share one resort with 21 restaurants, the Aquaventure water park and marine habitats home to more than 50,000 sea animals. For two, we’d look at Secrets Tides Punta Cana on Uvero Alto beach, where all 668 suites are for adults only and some open straight onto the pool. Preferred Club suites add butler service and their own beach areas. December to April is the season. Tell us who’s traveling and when, and we’ll put together a few options to choose from and compare the value for your dates. We’d welcome the chance to talk it through in person, over the phone or by video chat.

Questions
It depends on what you want from the trip. Aruba and Turks and Caicos are known for calm beaches and easy travel, St. Lucia for its mountains and rainforest, and Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for a wide choice of resorts. We will ask a few questions and suggest the island that fits.
December through April is the driest and most popular season. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and some islands, such as Aruba, sit south of the main storm belt. We will help you weigh weather, crowds and availability for your dates.
U.S. citizens need a valid passport for most Caribbean islands. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so a passport is not required when flying in from the mainland. We will confirm the entry requirements for your destination before you travel.
Yes. We can combine islands linked by short flights, or plan a Caribbean cruise with hotel stays before or after the sailing.
It can be, especially for families and for travelers who would rather not plan every meal. On islands with strong restaurant scenes, such as Barbados and St. Lucia, a hotel with breakfast can be the better fit. We will explain the trade-offs for the island you choose.
