Destinations

The Caribbean

The Caribbean, also known as the Caribbean Islands, Islands of the Caribbean, or the West Indies is a region of the Americas located in the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic.  With its laid back culture, amazing year-round climate, endless miles of white sand beaches, gorgeous coral reefs, and shimmering, crystal-clear water, the Caribbean is the perfect place to vacation.

Aruba

ARUBA

Aruba not only has beautiful beaches and world-class resorts, but also near-perfect weather: It's outside the hurricane belt and receives just 20 inches of rainfall per year and has constant cooling trade winds.

There is good reason why Aruba has more repeat visitors than any other island in the Caribbean. It offers something for everyone: a pleasant climate, excellent facilities, nightlife, nature, and warm and friendly locals. The hospitality industry here is of the highest order.

The Bahamas

The Atlantis Bahamas

The Bahamas is made up of 16 major islands, spread across 100,000 square miles of the world’s clearest ocean.  The Bahamas offers an alluring mix of land and sea activities.  You can play golf on a seaside fairway, dive dramatic wrecks and reefs, sail in crystal clear water, and explore a fascinating and diverse culture.

Barbados

Barbados - Couple walking on beach RESIZED

Isolated in the Atlantic Ocean, 100 miles (161 km) due east of St. Lucia, Barbados is a sophisticated tropical island with a rich history.  Geologically, most of the Lesser Antilles are the peaks of a volcanic mountain range, whereas Barbados is the top of a single, relatively flat protuberance of coral and limestone.  Beaches along the island's south and west coasts are picture-perfect. On the rugged east coast, the Atlantic Ocean attracts world-class surfers.

Bermuda

Just a two-hour flight from most East Coast U.S. cities, Bermuda is one quick getaway that feels worlds away. Tranquil and prosperous, this island nation of pastel houses and manicured gardens also displays a deep British heritage with crisp colonial architecture. A comfortable climate provides year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation on pink-sand beaches, at championship golf courses, and in cerulean waters. Add excellent, varied shopping and dining, and it’s easy to see why this small-in-size country looms large on many itineraries.

Cayman Islands

Wesitn Grand Cayman

Vacationers appreciate the mellow civility of the islands, and Grand Cayman's exceptional Seven Mile Beach has its share of fans. Divers come to explore the pristine reefs or perhaps to swim with friendly stingrays. A great place to go if you want a safe, family-friendly vacation spot.

Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic Saona Island

The Dominican Republic is a beautiful island bathed by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Among its most precious assets are 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of gorgeous beaches studded with coconut palms and sands ranging from pearl-white to golden brown to volcanic black, with temperatures averaging 82°F year-round.  The vibrant lifestyle of this sun-drenched Latin-Caribbean country, where Spanish is the national language and where people are hospitable, makes the Dominican Republic a different cultural experience.

Grenada

Grenada RESIZED

The lush island of Grenada has 45 beaches and countless secluded coves.  The nation of Grenada consists of three islands: Grenada, the largest; Carriacou (car-ree-a-coo), north of Grenada; and Petite Martinique. Carriacou and Petite Martinique are popular for day trips, fishing adventures, sailing destinations, or diving and snorkeling excursions, but most of the tourist activity is on the island of Grenada itself. People interested in a really quiet, get-away-from-it-all vacation will, however, appreciate the simple pleasures of Carriacou during an extended stay.

Jamaica

Ocho Rios Jamaica1

Jamaica, the third largest island in the Caribbean, is known for its two cities, Kingston and Montego Bay, and the resort towns of Ocho Ríos, Port Antonio, and Negril.  Tourist attractions include Dunn's River Falls and the Blue Lagoon.

Jamaicans define enthusiasm.  Although the country is well known for its tropical beauty, reggae music, and cuisine, you may find that your interactions with local residents are what you truly remember.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico2

Puerto Rico is a tropical island, so temperatures don't vary much with its moderate and tropical year-round weather at an average temperature of about 82°F (26°C).  It is a Caribbean paradise that is rich with history and culture, has exceptional food, amazingly pristine beaches and majestic mountains.  The  people are so welcoming, kind and friendly, you’ll feel like family.  Everywhere you go, you’ll find vibrant cultural experiences, food for your soul, and a captivating rhythm.

Turks and Caicos

Turks & Caicos RESIZED

With water so turquoise that it glows, you may find it difficult to stray far from the beach in the Turks and Caicos. Museums, ruins, and other area attractions may not seem nearly as compelling as the beaches, which are among the most incredible you will ever see. Don't be surprised if you wake up on your last morning and realize that you didn't find a lot of time for anything else.

U.S. Virgin Islands

US Virgin Islands RESIZED

The U.S. Virgin Islands—St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix—may fly the American flag, but "America's Paradise" is in reality a mix of the foreign and familiar that offers something for everyone to enjoy. The history, beautiful beaches, myriad  activities, good food, and no-passport-required status make the Virgin Islands an inviting beach destination for many Americans.

MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA

Mexico and Central America are the perfect destinations for those who love colorful rainforests, beautiful beaches, superb snorkeling, and exploring. There are also a variety of spectacular landscapes, such as volcanoes, large lakes, and tropical rainforests.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Costa Rica has it all: nowhere else can you gaze upon a volcano while soaking in a hot spring one day, hike deep into a rain forest the next, and end your trip learning to surf at a luxurious seaside resort. Miles of pristine beaches on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, fabulous national parks with plentiful opportunities for wildlife viewing, and world-renowned eco-lodges have made this one of the hottest destinations around. The welcoming people of Costa Rica, and their mellow pura vida lifestyle, add warmth to every visit.

Mexico

Cancun Mexico

The beaches of Cancun, the golf courses of Los Cabos, the nightlife of Puerto Vallarta: Mexico offers enough seaside fun, splashy resorts, and piña coladas to fulfill anyone's sunny dreams. But travelers who dig a bit deeper discover a multifaceted country of ethereal cloud forests, colorful coral reefs, and stark deserts. From ancient archaeological sites and colonial-era cities like Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende to the pulsing modern metropolis of Mexico City, the country presents thousands of years of history and abundant up-to-the minute style.

Panama

Panama RESIZED

In the past couple of years Panama has become Central America's hottest destination. Beyond its famous canal (which, 100 years after its completion, still astonishes all who visit), travelers are discovering vast jungles that hold amazing biological diversity, idyllic islands ringed with coral reefs, and mountain forests filled with exotic birds. Panama City is the exciting, and rapidly developing, hub from which to explore–-a vibrant and diverse metropolis with excellent dining, lodging, and nightlife, and an abundance of day-trip options.

USA

Alaska and Hawaii both offer adventure and majestic beauty in two locales that could not be more different.

Alaska

Alaska

Alaska is America's last frontier, with landscapes that stretch out seemingly to infinity. From the lush rain forests of Southeast to the vast, flat tundra in the north, you can stare in awe at the same things that take an Alaskan’s breath away: calving glaciers, volcanic valleys, jagged sea cliffs, the northern lights, and more. Here you can kayak to icebergs, fly over the highest peak in North America, stay out all night celebrating the midnight sun, and spot wildlife from eagles to whales. For lovers of nature, few places exhilarate like Alaska.

Hawaii

Hawaii

Hawaii overflows with natural beauty. Piercing the surface of the Pacific from the ocean floor, the Hawaiian Islands are garlanded with soft sand beaches and dramatic volcanic cliffs. Long days of sunshine and fairly mild year-round temperatures make this an all-season destination, and the islands' offerings - from urban Honolulu on Oahu to the luxury resorts of Maui to the natural wonders of Kauai and the Big Island - appeal to all kinds of visitors. Less-developed Lanai and Molokai are quieter, but all the islands are rich in Hawaiian culture.
