It’s summertime! The weather’s heating up, work is slowing down, and it’s time for a vacation — to the Caribbean, of course. One of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean is that summer trade winds and island breezes can make for some very cool conditions by day and night.  If you are by the beach or pool you won’t know if its March or July except there are less people and lower rates. So we’ve decided to put together a guide to some of the best options for taking time off to the West Indies — from perfect spot for a romantic getaway for two to the ideal resort for families with young children. Here are the 10 best Caribbean summer vacations for 2013.
