Families love Caribbean vacations, mainly for the beach resorts which typically offer watersports, extravagant pools, family activities, kids clubs, evening entertainment, fine dining, spa, and --often-- all inclusive pricing.
But resorts aren't the whole story about Caribbean vacations...

Every island has its unique flavor, and hopefully, you'll get out and explore during your Caribbean vacation. Some islands have colonial towns (like Willemstad in Curacao, left, a World Heritage Site) or other sightseeing; some islands are known for beautiful tropical underseas. If you're staying in a resort, it's easy to arrange for tours, scuba and snorkeling trips, etc. On some islands, it's practical to rent a car and explore on your own.
