Travelrobe has claimed that many islands in the Caribbean over the past few years have continued to expand and develop their infrastructure towards tourism, noting that St Lucia above all has embraced the void left by it's failing banana industry and despite the lack of hype, it's tourist facilities are top-notch and makes it a perfect destination.

Dominica, the first thing you'll notice about this island is how intensely green the island is. Lush, steep-sided peaks rear up 4700 feet to meet cloud-capped summits that receive enough heavy rainfall to feed hundreds of mountain streams.
Grenade, is known as "The Isle of Spice" producing one third of the world's supply of nutmeg along with quantities of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, turmeric and mace, while largely dependent on agriculture, the tiny nation which includes other smaller Grenadine islands is steadily earning a reputation as a holiday destination.
The French islands of the Caribbean should not be forgotten, Martinique, Guadalupe, St Martin/St Maarten shared between the French and the Dutch since the mid-seventeenth century, the tiny island is one of the most touristed islands in that part of the Caribbean.
To add to the vast diversity of the Caribbean there is the British Virgin Islands and the US Virgin Islands with their sea-swept landscapes, historic towns, duty-free shopping and luxurious resorts, these islands bask in the combination of familiar yet exotic which makes them the most popular cruise-ship destinations in the Caribbean.
