Are the Hawaiian islands just as beautiful as the Caribbean?

This is from Sosua DR. The north shore.

 

It shows our room and the place we stayed also shows the sister resort in Caberrete(wind surfing).... I am one of the old farts having a good time :)

Thanks for sharing the pics. What is the name of the resort in Sosua? Is language much of a barrier?

Sosua Bay Hotel- they all speak English- no language problem but I do speak a small amount of spanish...

Interesting question, I love both places and have been to both many times. :)

 

The Caribbean seems to have the calmer, turquoise blue clear water that so many people love. Hawaii has those awesome waves, ocean breezes and the smell of orchids everywhere...just a more tropical feeling. I get a totally different vacation "feel" in both places.

 

For me, Hawaii edges out the Caribbean as a LAND destination. I love relaxing in Maui and just enjoying such an amazing place. But for a cruise, I prefer the Caribbean (I know that goes against the whole NCL Hawaii cruising thing). ;)

 

Bottom line, you won't go wrong whatever you decide...they are both wonderful destinations.
