[Travelandtourism] Caribbean trip with a toddler looking for recommendations

Tatyana:
I have e-mailed you separately. 
All of these islands are children friendly, Puerto Rico is a US Territory, Jamaica is also wonderful, all of these places are acceptable, it all depends on the place you stay, there are many all inclusive resorts accept for Puerto Rico, of you can stay at resorts where they have packages that include food.
All up to what meets your needs, yes you have a 17 month old, but what do you want to do when you get there etc.
This will help you figure out where you want to go.
We already know the who wants to go When you want to go and why you want to go.
But you need to also find out, and this is for anyone planning a trip anywhere 
Also don't always look at the price, look at what you are getting with that price.
What are you dreaming of doing on your vacation?
What did you like about the last vacation you took, and what you didn't like about it.
Do they have places my child can play with other kids, and services that not only meets us, but my child as well.
What kinds of food you like, do you have any allergies to foods, or have dietary issues, not all places you are staying at can accommodate that.
Thank you.

> We'd like to go somewhere in Caribbean  in Summer. It's going to be our

> Grand Cayman, Aruba, Bahamas, Dominican republic and Verging islands.

> input please, we just have no clue how to get started. I called to an agent,

> stress related to logistics and baby care. My sun needs a 2 hours afternoon
> nap, that's another concern.
