Guardian Unlimited Travel: "Picture crystal clear Caribbean waters, palm-fringed golden beaches, stunning scenery and warm friendly people - you'll find all this in St Lucia. The jewel of the Caribbean is sparkling brighter than ever before with an array of new luxury resorts and activities available. This tropical paradise has endless delights on offer, from indulgent spa treatments to top-notch food and drink at one of the island's many restaurants. "
Forbes, I have been a long time vacation homeowner on Aruba, the tiny Dutch Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. Only 20 miles long and 6 miles across, the cactus-filled, dry island features my favorite beach in the entire world. Endless days spent on the famed Eagle Beach floating in crystal clear, aquamarine warm waters is why massive throngs of tourists return annually to this island paradise.
