Antigua
Temperatures generally range from the mid-seventies in the winter to the mid-eighties in the summer. Annual rainfall averages only 45 inches, making it the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands, and the northeast trade winds are nearly constant, flagging only in September. Low humidity year-round and oh yes superb beaches.
Bahamas
The Bahamas. Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach, with soft, white beaches, Goombay punch, hundreds of years of democracy and the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Freeport/Lucaya with hot days and even hotter nights.
If you want to be a Dolphin trainer for the day here is the place to come.
Imagine sandy beaches that are like walking on talcum powder, this is the Bahamas.
Barbados
What to do on Barbados? For starters, there is kitesurfing, windsurfing, spelunking (exploring caves), golf and tours ranging from safari to rum, submarine, helicopter and catamaran adventures. Highly recommended are the so-called Seven Wonders: Harrison's Cave, for its gallery of stalactites; the huge Baobab or Monkey Bread tree; two of the Western Hemisphere's three Jacobean mansions; the intact and restored Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill; the 17th century Jewish synagogue; the world's rarest collection of 17th century English iron cannons; and the place where a Bajan citrus cross-fertilization produced the world's first grapefruit. In addition, there are many romantic plantation houses, a zoo, and the world-class Pelican Crafts Centre. At Orchid World, there are thousands of orchids in and around the cane fields of St George Parish.
In short, Barbados is a beautiful place with much to offer in the arts, entertainment, hotel and restaurant fields. In the science category, you can find geological phenomena unlike any other formations throughout the Caribbean. And the people couldn't be nicer or friendlier

Cuba
This alligator-shaped island is by far the largest and most populated of Caribbean countries. Once the No 1 travel destination in the area and known as the Pearl of the Antilles, Cuba became a Red Pearl after a revolution placed communist Fidel Castro in charge. Known for the finest rum and cigars, the People's Republic of Cuba has been off-limits to most Americans for the past 35 years. Old Havana is slowly being restored as an open-air museum. Art and culture thrives.
Due to more than five centuries of racial diversity, the well-educated Cubans are among the most attractive people in the Caribbean. And there are lots of them. The total Cuban population is around 11 million. To see as many of them as possible you must travel about a bit. Cuba is huge, about as big as all the other Caribbean islands laid end to end.
Cuba's No 1 tourist magnet is Varadero Beach. Like Florida, Varadero is a sun-kissed peninsula with long, lonely beaches by the dozens. The Duponts had a Varadero villa during the 1950s salad days of Cuban tourism. The former Dupont digs are now beautifully refurbished and appropriately named Xanadu.
