With Valentine’s Day coming up, if you are planning to plan to take a romantic trip with your significant other, Caribbean holidays seem to be the first choice for almost everyone.    And it’s not just couples.  Singles are touring for tenderness as well!  Most of us think that the beach is the best setting for a romantic trip and fanning the flames of love.  The clincher is watching a sunset or sunrise over the sands followed by a stroll along that beach.

Year-round sunny weather, stunning sandy beaches, lush tropical scenery, friendly locals and irresistible food and music make Caribbean holidays truly special.  Each island has its own unique atmosphere, cuisine and history.  Jamaica is one of the classic Caribbean destinations.  The home of reggae with a laid-back, friendly population and a great sense of fun make Jamaica ideal for exciting holidays. Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean, has also become increasingly popular with Irish travellers.  The American government has already eased travel restrictions for Cuban-Americans and may very well lift them entirely.  Many fear that will change Cuba’s distinctive character for good.

Life has a random edge in Cuba, so sip a rum cocktail and be enchanted by the beautiful colonial buildings and romantically faded grandeur of Havana with some of the best Spanish colonial architecture in the Americas pretty well untouched since they were built!   If it’s just a really laid back Caribbean experience you’re after, try the island’s famed beach destination of Varadero, renowned for its unspoiled white sands and crystal-clear waters.  So if you’re planning a honeymoon between December and May, the Caribbean is an excellent choice.
