Island Vacation Ideas: Resort Week or Explore-the-Island Trip?

Island travel ranges from fly-and-flop resort weeks to road trips across large islands. The lodging strategy should match the geography.

Planning note: Hotel rates, policies, amenities, construction, transportation and local conditions change. Use this guide to compare options, then verify current details with the property, booking provider and official local sources before travel.

One resort

Best when the property itself is the main experience and transfers are difficult.

Split stay

Useful when attractions are far apart, but each hotel change consumes vacation time.

Town base

Can provide more restaurants and local transport when beaches or excursions are reached by day trip.
