by Lena
Hilltorp
For Americans summer has
always been the time to go out on holidays and enjoy the
beach and the Sun. what could be a better place for that
than the Caribbean Islands with their lovely beaches,
blue waters and the most pleasant sun. In fact the
Caribbean has been such a huge hit with American
tourists that today the tourism industry is one of the
biggest industries of the place.
There are numerous
islands in the Caribbean, but some have been all-time
favorites with the tourists. The biggest destinations
are the islands of Anguilla, Aruba, Bahamas, Curacao and
the British Virgin Islands. A visit to any of these
islands will leave you with happy memories, you can
hardly ever forget.
Bahamas
Bahamas has always been a
very popular destination for the American tourists
because of its proximity to the country. Still having a
feel of the
British colonial days in its buildings and
architecture, the Bahamas is also very tropical in
spirit. Known for its beautiful beaches pine forests,
Bahamas is the perfect place to sit back and relax.
If you are in the Bahamas
you should never miss the Rand Nature Center where you
get to see the exact recreation of a Lucayan Village,
which has everything, from the chieftain's house to the
dwelling huts. And if you are a food freak you got to
taste the local snacks from a Bahamian straw market.
The Atlantis Resort is
located on Paradise Island, near Nassau in the
formerly-British Bahamas just a hop from Florida.
The guidebook
"Caribbean With Kids" calls the Atlantis on
Bahamas "one of the most lavish properties in the
entire Caribbean": which is saying something,
considering what the region offers.
The Atlantis Bahamas
grounds have waterfalls, streams, lagoons filled with
sea creatures, underwater viewing areas: with 11 exhibit
lagoons and 11 million gallons of water, the resort
claims it has the "largest marine habitat in the
world".
The world's largest
marine habitat, the largest casion in the Bahamas (and
the Caribbean), a 15 million dollar marina, lagoons,
waterfalls and the underwater ruins of Atlantis
itself....Atlantis Bahamas Resort has achieved a
distinctive combination of comfort and adventure unlike
any other vacation destination.
Atlantis on Bahamas is a
deluxe high rise with 2300 rooms and casino situated on
the beach. Three towers make up the complex, the Beach,
Coral and the newest is Royal Towers.
Anguilla
One of the best family
destinations in the Caribbean, Anguilla is famous for
its neat beaches many of which are non-commercial. And
of course you have the rare opportunity to share the
waters with dolphins in Dolphin Fantaseas - one of the
biggest attractions of Anguilla. Another place to b e in
is Scilly Cay - which provides the perfect setting for
barbecue and snorkeling. But the most special thing
about Anguilla is her people. They are among the warmest
in Caribbean and they go all the way to make you feel
comfortable and at home Aruba
"One Cool
Family" is the program organized by the Aruba
government to pull in new tourists as well as bring back
those who have already been to this lovely island. Such
schemes emphasize how important tourism has become in
these places and when the government is coming up with
such ideas you can rest assure there would be enough
effort to provide you with the finest holiday ever.
Apart from the exotic
beaches and the clear blue seas other attractions of
Aruba include Boca Prins, the perfect destination for
dune sailing and land sailing. Of course there are
arrangements for the regular activities like snorkeling
and scuba diving.
Curacao
Just two and half hour
from Miami, Curacao is unlike any other Caribbean
island. Of course it has got the beaches and the lovely
seas, but this dominion of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands is also special because of its diverse mix
of history and culture. The experience you have at
Curacao is, in that sense unique among the Caribbean
islands. If yours is a family which is into adventure
this can be the perfect destination as you can head for
the Hato Caves to witness the amazing dry land sea caves
complete with underground pools, cave drawings and
fossils which date back to millions of years. But if you
are more interested in just lying back and enjoying your
vacation you can do that too while enjoying the best of
Curacao culture that has a strong influence of the
Dutch.
British Virgin Islands
Once a haven for the
pirates, the British Virgin Islands is today the perfect
place for diving and snorkeling. It also provides you
with the very best opportunities to sail. And if you
have been a fan of Stevenson's Treasure Island, you can
actually see for yourself from where it was inspired -
the Norman Island. With calm waters, swimming is also
one of the favorite activities among tourists.
