The Best Hotels in the Caribbean, According to a Writer

"Hidden away on an untouched stretch of the north coast, this is the antithesis of oversized resorts and busy beaches. Eating freshly fried plantain chips and sipping coconut mojitos from a private patio or beneath a fringed umbrella on the white-sand beach is the name of the game. With just a handful of one- to three-bedroom private bungalows, you’ll have this corner of coastline almost to yourself, though when the mood strikes, whale-watching in the cooler months and hikes to crystal-clear lakes and lagoons in summer are worth traveling for." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
