Trying to decide on the Caribbean island that's best for you? I know, the decision can be a toughie, but shouldn't be too much of a strain. The Miami Herald features an excellent piece highlighting noteworthy hotels, environmental aspects, restaurants and the basic 'why' you should come questions all there to help you plan. Ready to go nude? Try visiting St. Maarten's Orient Beach to score your full body tan. Need a good reason to head over to St. Lucia? If beautiful beaches aren't enough, grab a sunset cocktail at Ladera and just lounge to the sweet sounds of island music. Whether it's live or from the stereo I'm sure there will be some coming from somewhere. Oh, and there's my personal island favorite - Trinidad & Tobago. If you can't make it for Carnival next year try planning a week long getaway to hike and bird watch. There's always a blissful thing to do in Trinidad & Tobago - if you ask me. See the Miami Herald for all their spicy Caribbean island recommendations.
