Caribbean Gay and Lesbian Travel Guide

Puerto Rico is the best spot for gay Caribbean travel, with a gay beach, gay hotels, gay bars, and the island of Vieques arising as a popular hot spot for gay travel as well. And it's Ricky Martin's home island!
One of the best gay ways to see the Caribbean is on one of the many LGBT cruises. It's the one sure-fire way to visit the Caribbean in an all-queer environment.
Fall means great deals to the Caribbean—because it's hurricane season. And watch out for mosquitoes during the wet autumn months. November is the Caribbean's best month because hurricanes (and the cloudy season) are generally over, but prices are still low.
Anywhere in the Caribbean, be careful of public displays of same-sex affections. Locals generally react strongly against them.
Charter a boat. Rounding up some friends and renting a fully crewed yacht to explore uninhabited isles is the quintessential Caribbean experience. The U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands are especially good spots to charter.

Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: Caribbean

Yeah, mon! For gay travel, Caribbean islands are among the most popular destinations, despite the lack of queer businesses or attractions in the region. The islands come in a rainbow of flavors, from cactus-arid to rainforest-lush—each with a strong heritage of Dutch, French, English or other influences. Although many people think this "eighth continent" is homogeneous, the variety of cultures and terrain in the region will surprise you. Read More

We have several families who have daughters that are high school seniors this year and have younger brothers who are 13. We normally do a relaxing beach trip for spring break but this year we want lots of fun and excitment to celebrate the girls senior year. The question is cruise? If so, which one? Or, do we do a resort instead? If so, where? Like to stay under $6,000 for a family of 4 for the week. Thoughts?
