Barbados has its landmark historic places. The Garrison in Bridgetown, with its parade ground and UNESCO World Heritage designation, anchors the island’s story (including the George Washington House). St. Nicholas Abbey draws visitors with its centuries-old Jacobean mansion and rum estate history. Gun Hill’s signal station and lion statue still look out across the countryside […]
Maybe you’ve been on a Hobie Cat — one of the most exhilarating watersports you can try in the Caribbean. But you probably haven’t seen it like this — from above and below the water. Check out CJ’s latest ride for a rather unique perspective, in the video below:
It’s not a secret: Dominica is one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth. The Nature Island is home to volcanoes, boiling lakes, incredible hiking and, of course, waterfalls. It’s a very short trail walk to get to the Emerald Pool, which is named after its beautiful green surroundings, and it’s well worth the […]
It’s straight out of a novel — or perhaps out of one you’ll be writing when you’re here. This is the charming little LoBleu Hotel on the island of Terre de Haut in the Guadeloupe archipelago. It’s a simple, affordable, well-run place with a party piece: a front-row seat on the island’s main beach. It’s […]

By the Caribbean Journal It’s one of the most sought-after luxury products in the world: the Cuban cigar. But due to the decades-long freeze between the United States and Cuba, cigars have remained a seductive mystery to millions. The recent rapprochement between the US and Cuba has provided an opening (and a small exemption to bring […]
By the Caribbean Journal staff It can only be accessed by boat. But if you get there, you’ll never want to leave. This is Prickly Pear, that far-off paradise in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. Blessed with golden sand and utterly tranquil waters, it’s home to just one thing: a beach bar called the […]
Jamaica’s Appleton Rum recently launched a new advertising campaign — one that could mark a shift for the way Caribbean rums are marketed. It’s a departure from the typical pirate — and party-themed rum ads — it is a story that focuses on the pride and love that go into every Appleton bottle. The campaign includes […]
By Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon CJ Travel Editor I spent a week in Nevis recently, a magical trip that revolved around two resorts and imbibing at least that many tumblers of rum punch a day. After all, every hotel seemed to have their signature libation, and it would have been rude to refuse them, no? While they […]
