5. Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Surrounded by the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and conveniently located just eight miles from Cancún, Isla Mujeres offers a quieter refuge for serenity seekers of all kinds. This trendy Mexican hotspot has everything from luxury resorts and scenic beaches to great scuba diving and snorkeling.

4. Jamaica

Known fondly as “the land of wood and water,” Jamaica’s forests feature prime hiking and bird watching. History buffs can explore heritage sites like Trelawny, while Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, and the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stress melt away.

3. Dominican Republic

The second largest and most diverse Caribbean country, the Dominican Republic is a destination like no other, featuring nearly 1,000 miles of coastline, 250 miles of the world’s top beaches, magnificent resorts and hotels, and a variety of sports, recreation, and entertainment options.

2. Playa del Carmen, Mexico

One of the Riviera Maya’s trendiest cities, Playa del Carmen is a fantastic place to seek out the perfect tan. The reefs are excellent here and there’s excellent diving and snorkeling close by. Keep a look out for rays, moray eels and sea turtles that frequent the reefs.

1.  Puerto Rico

The heart and soul of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is a place where the Old World is mashed up with the new on an island that is small in size but offers an immense bounty of one-of-a-kind experiences, exceptional food, pristine beaches, majestic mountains, relaxation, and adventure.
