Visiting Caribbean? Everything you want to know before traveling.
The Caribbean, long referred to as the West Indies, includes more than 7,000 islands; of those, 13 are independent island countries, and some are dependencies or overseas territories of other nations. In addition, that large number includes islets (very small rocky islands); cay’s (small, low islands composed largely of coral or sand) and a few inhabited reefs: See Belize.

There are three factors to consider when choosing your Caribbean holiday: weather, cost and crowds. The weather in the Caribbean is generally best – namely driest, with low humidity and pleasantly cool nights – December through to April.
