Grand Turk is a small island located at the end of the Bahamas chain. It is about 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. The Island and beaches are absolutely stunning and the people some of the friendliest and helpful people you will ever meet. The Island is virtually crime free and totally safe to wander any time of the day or night. Grand Turk is not a 'glitzy' Island. The evening's entertainment is typically a good meal taken at some of the best restaurants you can find (such as Calico Jacks), friendly and cosy Pubs like 'Bonney & Reads', and frequent live local music in the Hotel gardens. There is a Disco on the Island and this is highly rated by visitors and locals alike. It is however situated away from the Hotels and does not spoil anyone's quiet enjoyment of the balmy Caribbean evenings.

La Romana is located on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic.

A prime attraction at the resort is Altos de Chavón, a living replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village. The quaint artistic village, overlooking the scenic Chavón River, is home to numerous galleries, shops, restaurants, and a museum, and the cobblestone streets and flower-filled courtyards add to its charm. Experience the richness in the Dominican Republic’s seemingly eternal white sandy beaches, breathtaking lush mountains laced with rivers and waterfalls and their vibrant culture.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines |

St Vincent & the Grenadines form a multi-island nation well known to wintering yachties, aristocrats and rock stars, but off the beaten path for most other visitors. Despite its pockets of lotus-eating luxury, for the most part it's a refreshingly rugged and raw-edged backwater. The 30 islands and cays of the Grenadines are among the most popular cruising grounds in the Caribbean. They reach like stepping stones between St Vincent and Grenada and are surrounded by coral reefs and clear blue waters ideal for diving, snorkelling and boating. Fewer than a dozen are inhabited, and even these are lightly populated and barely developed. Although some of the Grenadines, like Mustique and Palm Island, cater to the rich and famous, others, like Bequia and Union Island, attract an international crew of sea salts and beachcombers and offer decent places to stay and eat.

Stop in Bridgetown or Pelican Village for excellent duty-free shopping. In Barbados, High Tea is one of the many British traditions. Cricket is another. The subterranean stream passages of Harrison's Cave are among the island's many attractions.

Trinidad & Tobago |

The twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago are the Caribbean's odd couple. Trinidad is a densely populated, thriving island with a cosmopolitan population and strong regional influence. It's famous for hosting the loudest, wildest, most popular Carnival in the Caribbean. In contrast, 'little sister' Tobago is relaxed, slow-paced and largely undeveloped. There are claims Daniel Defoe had Tobago in mind when he wrote Robinson Crusoe, and travelers who enjoy its beaches, reefs and birdlife still tend to think of the island as the last undiscovered gem in the Caribbean.
Located at the end of a 620-mi sweep of islands on the eastern boundary of the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago are just 6.8 mi and 19 mi off the coast of Venezuela. Despite this, there's surprisingly little South American influence - instead the country draws most strongly from its British, African and East Indian heritage.
