Images of tropical waters along endless palm tree lined beaches of the Caribbean are the dreams of travelers worldwide. The Caribbean: synonymous  with "paradise".
However, as highlighted in the various articles on this site, the Caribbean is not just sun-bathing and fruity drinks with little umbrellas. Each island offers its own unique culture and a completely different experience than the next island. The food, music, architecture and history vary so widely from country to country, the only commonalities you'll find are the smiling faces and shining sun. This is part of the reason that the Caribbean has so many returning tourists looking for new adventures in a different country than they first visited. Cruise ships follow a similar pattern by including multiple stops at different countries over the course of the trip to give their passengers a broader experience of all the Caribbean has to offer. There are plenty of different accommodation options to stay in while traveling these tropics, but many have chosen to buy timeshare to give them the flexibility to choose a different location each year. The Caribbean is home to some of the world's finest beach resorts and through vacation ownership, travelers can tap into these networks that spread across almost all of these countries. Many of the timeshare resorts also have agreements with local tour guides who will share with you the history of the island while taking you to all the most popular attractions. Another favorite service of owners is the transportation offered to and from the airport. Flagging down a taxi or finding the right bus can be overwhelming when visiting another country. Having a shuttle waiting to take you right to where you're staying 
when you get off the plane can be a welcome sight for first
time Caribbean travelers.
Caribbean timeshare resorts offer much more than what you would normally expect from a traditional hotel. The rooms, which are actually more like suites, are equipped with a full kitchen and have separate bedrooms. Even just using the refrigerator to keep cold drinks can save you a surprising amount of money over the course of your stay. The separate rooms are great for family travel or group travel so no one has to share beds or sleep on the floor. Sometimes after a long day touring the countryside, it's nice to just take a dip in the pool and come back to the room to make a quick dinner rather than going back out. Many of the Caribbean timeshare resorts have small markets on the grounds with local meats and produce and anything else you would need. The countries of the Caribbean offer such a wonderful variety so it is important to do your research.
