Starbucks currently has locations in several Caribbean countries, including the Bahamas (at the Atlantis resort), Puerto Rico, and Aruba. It has another location on the Caribbean Sea, through a partnership with Royal Caribbean: the Allure of the Seas’ Starbucks debuted in 2010.

The Aruba location is also at a Renaissance resort.

Starbucks has periodically offered Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, although at present there are no company locations in Jamaica.

Today the company also announced a new location in Costa Rica’s San Jose.
