Which Caribbean Island Are You?

May 13th, 2008

The Caribbean islands have distinct personalities, just like the people that visit them. If you were an island, which would you be? This fun little exercise might just help you decide where to vacation this year…

The "seen-one, seen-em-all" attitude that some travelers have towards the Caribbean is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Not only are the islands different in culture and climate, but the kind of vacations you can have on each vary widely from place to place. We certainly wouldn’t send the same clients to St. Barts that we would the Dominican Republic. Figure out which island personality best matches yours:

Stay-at-Home St. John
A good book, a comfy chair and a block of hours to kill…that’s your ideal summer day. Not one for the see and be seen crowd, you’d prefer to find a deserted beach than one filled with tanning beauties. You love nature and the relaxed attitude of a small town.

You are… St. John!

Stay: Ginger Thomas, Ebb Tide

Sexy St. Barts
You’re not one for the showy scene, per se, but having the option of a swanky night out is never a bad thing. You’re stylish but know how to do it breezily and effortlessly, a lot like the French, whose culture you find fascinating and better expressed on sultry tropical island.

You are… St. Barts!

Stay: Avril, Villa Hilly

Fun and Funky St. Martin
You love a good party, but also a good beach. It’s all a part of your split personality - one funky and lively, the other more prone to quiet dinners. A little bit Caribbean, a little bit Europe.

You are… St. Martin!

Stay: Cala Luna, Mongoose Run

All-Natural St. Lucia
You’re a nature lover who will happily kill time staring out at mountains, oceans, hills and beaches from the comfort of your balcony. In between gazing sessions, there are hikes to hike and bike rides to bike, along with kayaking, snorkeling and everything else on the water. Because views only provide so much adrenaline.

You are… St. Lucia!

Stay: Les Chaudieres, Sur La Mer

Anguilla, Unassuming
You’re low-key and camera-shy, with a penchant for luxury on vacation but none of the showy bells and whistles. You appreciate the best things in life, like good food, great sand and friendly people.
