Another pool is located at the Kids Explorers Club, which has activities for kids ages 3 to 12 and has fun on-site such as pirate ships, castles, theaters, snack areas, and a waterslide.

The U.S. Virgin Islands are not your usual Caribbean paradise. Needless to say, they don’t have all the ubiquitous shiny sand and aquamarine-hued water.

Spring is the best time to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands, especially towards the end of April when St. Thomas’s hectic Carnival season begins.

The archipelago offers some of the best diving and fishing in the world. One nice thing about the Bahamas is that these beautiful islands offer vacation packages that are suitable for every kind of budget.

12. Curaçao

As one of the ABC Islands (along with Aruba and Bonaire), Curacao also sits outside the hurricane belt. About 90 miles north of Venezuela, the island of Curacao is one of the busiest urban centers in the Caribbean. Reliable weather and notable coral reefs make Curacao a place for divers, snorkelers, and beach lovers.

Willemstad, the main port city of Curacao, is what the Old World European city would look like if one left it in the Caribbean. The brightly painted Dutch colonial buildings reflect the pinks, yellows, and blues of the cerulean St. Anna Bay.

Once you leave the city, the landscape shifts to the desert view, sprouting from the tops of the thorny aloe and mesquite peaks. But the real attraction for Curacao is the beach. As the picturesque bay and coves surround the island, their turquoise water is lightly flipping against the dusty white sand.

The reefs of Curacao combine with marine life, providing a great underwater playground for scuba divers and snorkelers. In addition to being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Willemstad has several fascinating museums, rich street art scenes, and the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue – America’s oldest surviving shrine.

13. Grenada

The Caribbean is full of beautiful places, but each has something unique. Among them, Grenada is a little green gem at the southern tip of the Windward Islands. Grenada is referred to as the “Spice Isle” because of its strong bond with the spice business and its growing supply of spices locally.

14. St. Martin /St. Maarten

St. Martin /St. Maarten Island is located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Among other things, it is known for its unique system of governance, with Dutch territory on one side of the island (St. Maarten) and French territory on the other (St. Martin).

It is the smallest island separated by two nations. Set against the backdrop of stunning sun, gorgeous mountainous terrain, and Caribbean turquoise waters, St. Martin / St. Maarten creates a unique and eclectic culture.

Consisting of 32 islands, St. Vincent and the Grenadines have something for every traveler, from the tropical valleys and smoky volcanoes of St. Vincent’s Island to the idyllic beach of the small Grenadines.
