It’s one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean: in some ways, traveling to the Caribbean is even better in the summer.

It’s less crowded, meaning you get can in to the hottest tables, find your seat at the hippest beaches and enjoy an even more tranquil experience.

And that’s without mentioning the blissfully warm water that you don’t find in some destinations during the colder months of the year.

And we have you covered, with 20 great places to stay for perfect summer Caribbean vacations, either perched in breezy hillsides, set right on the sand, or, well, both.
