Great to have both. Traveler's checks are a great way to carry US money down, and then have it converted at a local bank or hotel.
Current conversion rates:
1 US Dollar = 2.72000 East Caribbean Dollar
1 East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) = 0.36765 US Dollar (USD)
My wife, peeking over my shoulder: "The EC dollar has one of them most consistent conversion rates of all currencies across the world!" Big hometown booster, that one. Loves her region.

US dollar is widely accepted in the caribbean. advice though...do try to acquire a bit of local currency sometimes when paying with USD you tend to loose.

No matter what anyone says the American $ talks anywhere in the Caribbean. Keep it small. Dollar bills are the best. Anyone can convert the math in their head. Not for major purchases though. If you just need a taxi, beer, lunch, etc. singles will do the trick. It's always good to have some local cash on hand. But I always bring a big stack of dollars with me every winter. ok matt
