Meh. Not impressed. And I've been all over the Caribbean.

Some of the older gentlemen who were on the trip told me the island was a shell of how beautiful and inviting it was in the late 40's and early 50's. Marxism tends to do that.

But, no doubt, some will find it alluring. Hell, some people think the Bahamas are just the best thing ever.
