Best Vacation Spot?

Depends what you're looking for, really. Cuba's good for several reasons: lowest prices (especially if you're smart enough to get *away* from resorts) plus great drinks, great music & dancing, great snorkeling -- but ho-hum food. Playas del Este, between Havana and Varadero, would be my destination. It helps to know a bit of Spanish, of course.

Jamaica's good (especially the fruit and coffee), but really not all that safe in some places. Montego Bay can be fascinating, also the north shore's black-sand beaches.

Dominican Republic's beaches can be fun. Puerto Rico is boringly U.S.

The smaller Caribbean islands have less going on, but maybe that's what you're looking for. You could choose among them based on language. English is understood anywhere really, but it's fun talking with locals.

So if you want to stick to English, there are Antigua and Barbados; the British Virgin Islands offer wonderful sailing. The Bahamas are cloudier and cooler over winter.

For French try Guadeloupe or Martinique. For Dutch try the ABC islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. And for Spanish, there are Cozumel (though it's quite touristy) and (more interesting) the Bay Islands off Honduras.

Ah, I envy you going down there.

Has to be Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

There are several but I don't remember their names.

But then I'm biased.

The French side of St Martin. For an all-around resort, I would select L'Habitation at the east end of the island. There are remote beaches at the east end that keep the average tourist away. There are little cafes right on the sand that you just drive up to and park. You will need a rental car on the French side (Hertz, Avis, at the airport). It's a bit pricey because the French have the Euro. For shopping, drive south to the Dutch side where they don't use the Euro yet.

French St Martin is a real piece of France. Every resident is a full French citizen. St Martin is part of Martinique Province just like Hawaii is one of the 50 states.
