Dreamtime Verdict: Antigua

If you are looking for happening nightlife and lots of cosmopolitan action, Antigua may not be the best choice. However, if you are looking for an untouched slice of paradise, Antigua is definitely a contender for the most luxurious of the Caribbean Islands. The island is small and does not have the tourist infrastructure that you'll find in Jamaica or the Bahamas. As a result, the resorts tend to be quiet and very exclusive. They are also not overrun with tourists.
