The good news is that -- short of skiing or ice skating -- the islands of the Caribbean offer something for everyone. It's hard to beat the Bahamas for a family Caribbean vacation: the Atlantis on Paradise Island and Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island are two of the most complete resorts in the region.

      Cayman Islands

      The charming Cayman Islands continue to be a coveted Caribbean getaway, providing for both adventurous and more immobile travelers. Gorgeous barrier reefs call to divers as the rum punch calls to the beach bums. Honeymooners hike through the 200-year-old Mastic Trail as parents take their children for interactive swims at Stingray City. Whichever way you choose to mellow out, the Cayman Islands can oblige.

      The Cayman Islands are an archipelago of three islands, lying 90 miles south of Cuba. The largest, Grand Cayman, is full of all-inclusive resorts, perfect for those who prefer pre-planned itineraries and don't mind cruise crowds. For freewheeling vacationers, the less-traveled Cayman Brac and Little Cayman offer some of the best diving in the Caribbean.

      Cayman Islands Culture & Customs

      As for tipping, Fodor's reports that restaurants usually expect a 15-percent tip, though check the bill carefully because gratuity might already be added. Taxicab drivers anticipate anywhere from a 10- to 15-percent tip. Note that the service charge at hotels is usually included and ranges from 6 to 12 percent.

      Cayman Islands Dining

      Similar to most Caribbean destinations, your trip to the Cayman Islands is not complete without a
