Eastern Caribbean

Fourteen islands, one lens. The Eastern Caribbean is where Five Star-ish started, because this is where luxury gets complicated in the most interesting ways. Pristine beaches next to sargassum. World-class service at a property with a noisy HVAC. The list of places worth your money is shorter than Instagram suggests. These guides exist to sort that out.
