Hands down has to be the English speaking island of Dominica NOT the Spanish Dominican Republic .
Dominica has to be the favourite caribbean island because Its not overcrowed with tourists.Its very peaceful it was rated the fourth most peaceful place in the world.U can Choose from 365 rivers to bathe in .Imagine that a river for everyday.Numerous waterfalls some being discovered ever so often.Fresh water lakes.This island has the 2nd largest boiling lake in the world.Breath taking mountains some reaching almost 5000ft covered in green natural forests.Most of these mountains have anceint trails which you could hike too.The island has excellent private villa services in the deep rainforests absoultely fantastic and romantic.Has Natural spa spots- warm and hot mineral sulpher springs coming from the earth.Great Sorkelling -clean waters free from pollution.The island itslef is very prestine.Fantastic whale watching.It was branded as the whale watching capital of the caribbean.Great Cuisine-the reason beaing its influenced by the frensh ,english, african and carib indian heritage-very unique.
They have the most unique music festival in late october every year.And a very unique Creative carnival every year -2days before the lenten season- same time as Trinidad's.I am from there and let me tell you too little tourists give the island a chance mainly beacuse it is not known.Its the best kept secret of the world believe me.

Perhaps the better question might be ---- what is your least favorite caribbean island & why?

Are any islands bad that have sunshine, beaches and a vacation atmosphere?

I've been to probably about 12 to 15 of the Caribbean Islands and I suppose if I had to chose only one island it would be Aruba. Aruba is a very small island about 6 miles wide & 8 miles long. It is part of the Netherland Antillies & Holland governed.

My favorite poem in the world is called "Welcome to Holland" by Emily Perl Kingsley. There is talk in that poem about windmills. Aruba has an authentic windmill that was a gift to them from Holland. If you will read that poem you will better understand what I'm about to say ... but when I go to Aruba each time - I find great healing simply by visiting this windmill.

I do hope you will read that poem. And I also hope when you have opportunity to go to Aruba and see the windmill yourself that you will say a prayer for those that made the trip to Holland (in the poem) as I have.

The Dominican Republic!
Great Beaches (and restaurants along the beach)
Great Hotels
Hot Guys (from all over)
Beautiful natural scenes and a bunch of activities to do.
Cheaper than other places!

Bonaire..you can access the water virtually anywhere around the island and dive/snorkel spots are well marked (the coast line isn't filled with homes and hotels, the people are friendly, it isn't touristy, it's safe and the weather is almost always the same, almost a guaranteed, perfect vacation. It's out of the hurricane belt, I think the last was in '99.

Hands down Grand Cayman. I have never had such a moving experience as swimming with the sting rays. No one should die without having a swim of a lifetime like that. WOW! I can't wait to go back next month.

My favourite Caribbean island is Jamaica. I was born here and I must say that we have custom of being friendly to others. The island has so much to offer with its beautiful attractions and various food. It's just wonderful.

BTW I have also visited other islands but nowhere compare to home I guess (you have to forgive the bias).

I have been to many of the carbbean islands and each islands is unique in certain ways because of mixture of people, french, dutch, british,spanish,indiands,caribs, some islands are more relax type than others like, Anguilla,Saba,Dominica,Trinidad (when they dont have carnival it is quite)others have more life all year. St.maarten/St.maartin, Curacao, Aruba are nice good bargains you can find on jewelries.Puerto Rico is Also good and for been an island it is really busyyy. The Dominican Republic is a busy country specially in the santo domingo. but punta cana and puerto plata or boca chica are less busy more relax. there is an island for any type of person. romantic, easy going, adventureous,exciting, bachelor "single men"..etc, etc.

St. Lucia is the way to go. Windjammer Landing is the place to stay if you have a family, Anse Chastanet is awesome for snorkeling/scuba diving. Perfect weather, scuba diving, sailing, food, you name it. Plus the island is hosting the 2007 Cricket World Cup, if your into that sort of stuff.

Puerto Rico. It's not called the "Island of Enchantment" for nothing. The island is warm and welcoming and so are the people there. There are festivals year round all over this great island. It's like a never ending party. They also have the Patron Saint Celebrations. There is one for each town or city. Puerto Ricans know how to entertain and have a great time too.

Even though I live on Saint Thomas, Anguilla is my favorite caribbean island. Although it's flat the beaches are BEAUTIFUL. the island is QUIET and the people are friendly and wonderful.

I enjoyed St. Marrten the most. The people were very friendly and it just had a nice atmosphere and it didn't seem commercialized. (must say Jamaica looks like a must see with lots of things to do!) can't wait to go there!

Puerto Rico. Beautiful beaches, Great Mountains, Caves and Forest. The Enchanted Island will make fall in love with the marvelous ambiance and Outdoors. If you like water sports you will love it. And if you like hiking you will love El Yunque Rain forest and the beauty of the waterfalls.

Aruba! When the plane makes its turn for its final approach and the sparkling emerald blue water comes up beneath it, a lovely enchantment takes hold of your senses. It's Aaaaaah-ruba. It's like coming home, it truly is.
