| The Caribbean is as safe a place
to travel as you can find these days, and the islands
are easy to reach. Within three or so hours from home,
you can enjoy beautiful beaches plus experience another
culture.
The islands of the Caribbean are famous for their slow,
easy and laid-back lifestyle and the local inhabitants
are generally renowned for their charm and friendliness.
Such an environment is the ideal setting for holiday
relaxation and the best policy is to adapt to the same
attitude as early in your stay as possible.
The Caribbean offers much more than
beaches. Active travelers can hike rainforests in St.
Lucia and Grenada , bike
down the Blue Mountains in Jamaica ,
windsurf in Aruba , swim with stingrays
in Grand Cayman , as well as dive and
snorkel dazzling reefs in Bonaire ,
the Caymans Islands , Cozumel
[Mexico], and in the Roatan Islands, Honduras
.
The majority of our featured hotels stipulate a casually
elegant dress code. During the day swimwear, shorts
and tee-shirts are quite acceptable although a cover-up
should be worn for lunch and topless or nude sunbathing
is not normally permitted. After 6pm, smarter attire
is expected in the bar and restaurant areas. |
