Which island is best for first-time Caribbean travelers?
Jamaica and the Bahamas offer the easiest introduction with convenient travel, excellent all-inclusive options, and the classic Caribbean experience most people envision.
But “best” depends on what you’re looking for. During consultation, I ask about your priorities and make specific recommendations based on your answers.
When’s the best time to visit the Caribbean?
High season runs December through April. This period has drier weather, more predictable conditions, and typically higher prices.
Summer and fall offer better values but higher humidity and hurricane season considerations.
I help you balance weather, budget, and crowd levels for your specific travel dates and priorities.
