Best Caribbean Island To Visit In December
Posted on 2/9/16 at 1:05 am
Posted on 2/9/16 at 1:05 am
I was planning on going to Aruba for NYE this year. Yes, I understand that's an expensive time to go to anywhere in the Caribbean but I'm using Marriott Rewards points to book my stay. Preferably I would like to stay at a Marriott resort, but if there are better hotels on better islands, I am open to the idea of just paying for it.
I've been to Grand Cayman, St. Marteen, Antigua, St. Barts, and St. Kitts and Nevis. Grand Cayman and St. Marteen were my two favorite, but I want to visit somewhere new.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

St. Lucia and it's not even close.

If he is going with a girl, I agree. If he's trying to lay down some pipe, terrible place to go.

Do you want your vacation with, or without zica?

He wants to stay at a Marriott. I thought it was obvious he's gay.

What do you plan to do on your trip? Just lay on the beach? Do the tourist thing? Want to be in a remote location? Dive? Just trying to figure out what you mean by "Better Islands."

Zika island is great this time of year.

If you want to stay at a Marriott your choices are very limited. Your time would be better spent on the Marriott site than here for that.
As far as islands go without that criteria St. John, BVI, TCI, Anguilla would be on my list. If St. Maarten and Grand Cayman were your favorites it tells me that you might be a little more interested in the nightlife than the actual island as those two aren't anywhere near the top of my list. Antigua and St. Barths are much nicer islands than those two.
How did you like St. Kitts and Nevis? We're going there at the beginning of June for 8 days. As you know, there is a Marriott on St. Kitts.

Yeah, I wouldn't classify the two he put at the top as "better islands" by any stretch. St. Maarten is a party island and looks like shite once you get away from the shore.
If he's a diver he should check out Roatan. Great diving and a well priced island.

You should go to Ted's

100% agree with that.
St. Maarten does not have great diving, however you could certainly take a day trip out to Saba for great diving. Then go back to St. Maarten and party if that's what you're in to.
Anguilla was probably my favorite - though we have very rough seas for diving, we had a very remote location on the 26 mile island...but could visit anywhere on the island in a max 40 minute drive. Their Crayfish and Conch were absolutely incredible.
If also going for diving, I highly recommend checking out Ambergris Caye, Belize. Dive the Great Blue Hole.

Went to St Thomas in February a few years back. 85 degrees, low humidity, perfect. Flew back into Atlanta and it was freezing with flurries.

Aruba is more of a family/honeymoon Island in the Caribbean. They have great diving,and snorkeling. We took an hour long submarine ride that was pretty cool. If you are going with your S/O then Auba is great. If you are looking to hook up then I would go somewhere else.
The Marriott Surf Club is pretty cool resort in Aruba.

I was there in October, great place if all you want to do is hang out on the beach. Beautiful beaches and water, almost no people trying to peddle wares to you and not a huge cruise ship location. Be prepared though it's expensive, a case of beer was $75.

St. Maarten during New Year's is awesome. Firework show over Simpson Bay, perfect weather, water temp is just right, I would highly recommend St. Maarten but I don't know if there is a marriott resort on the island.
