Introduction - Romantic Escapes in the Caribbean: Lovetripper Guide - page 18

On the western reaches of Jamaica, lovers end their day in
Negril at Rick's , one of the most famous sunset bars and res-
taurants in the Caribbean. Nearby, divers plunge off the cliffs to
hearty cheers from onlookers. When the sun dips low, however,
the crowd turns its attention to the west and to a blaze of color
that marks the end of another day in paradise.
Activities
Y ou want activity. Spirited watersports. Pulsating nightlife.
Hedonistic delights. Your mate wants leisure time. Days spent
under a coconut tree. Nights lulled by trade winds and the
rhythm of lapping waves, as the moon rises over a silver sea.
In the Caribbean, you both will be happy. Whether your idea of
a romantic getaway brings to mind a fiesta or a siesta, this
sprawling region delivers. Year-round warm weather makes
possible the sensual delights for which the islands are known.
Slip out of bed for a midnight dip in a private plunge pool or jog
side by side on a sandy beach as the first rays of light illuminate
the sky. Even during the winter months, the only goosebumps
you'll experience are ones your lover delightfully produces.
Activities on each island vary with its size and atmosphere.
Pick one of the bigger destinations like Jamaica, St. Thomas,
Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, St. Martin-Sint Maarten, or
Nassau for your choice of nonstop fun. For plenty of peace and
quiet, head to one of the smaller isles such as Anguilla, known
for its fine dining; St. Barts, recognized for its unique European
atmosphere; Tobago, rich with natural delights; or Nevis, a
tropical paradise that's been discovered by few.
