Whether you want to light a new love’s flame or simply head on a romantic retreat, there’s no better place to do it than the Caribbean, where every sunrise brings the promise of secluded sands for two. And while there’s nothing wrong with checking into a sprawling property, we’re partial to smaller places, those intimate places to stay where we receive a hotel-style welcome and service, yet somehow still feel as if we have the whole place to ourselves. These tiny romantic hotels, none exceeding 13 rooms, are some of the most romantic places in the region.

(It’s also our favorite of all Dominica resorts).
