Discover exceptional value, vibrant culture, and serene waters this summer at Marriott's leading Caribbean destinations

PLANTATION, Fla., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International's Caribbean portfolio invites travelers to experience the region's best-kept secret: summer travel. While many think of the Caribbean as a winter getaway, the summer months offer unique advantages, including better rates, fewer crowds, calmer seas, and a rich tapestry of cultural celebrations. From lively festivals and music events to warm waters perfect for diving and snorkeling, Marriott's resorts provide the ideal home base to enjoy all the Caribbean has to offer during the sunny season.

Barbados – Cultural Rhythms and Festive Spirit
Summer in Barbados comes alive with the renowned Crop Over Festival, held from July to August. This vibrant celebration marks the end of the harvest season with colorful parades, calypso music, and island-wide festivities. Travelers can enjoy this soulful experience while staying at the Courtyard Bridgetown Barbados, which features a newly renovated lobby and communal areas, offering a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.

Puerto Rico – Music, Heritage, and Exclusive Offers
Puerto Rico's concert season is in full swing, celebrating the island's rich Boricua heritage with some of the most anticipated musical events of the year. The Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino and San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino provide exclusive stay packages designed to complement these unique cultural moments.

Aruba – Year-Round Outdoor Adventure Beyond the Hurricane Belt
Positioned outside the hurricane belt, Aruba boasts stable summer weather and a variety of outdoor activities—from tranquil beaches to rugged national parks. Marriott's portfolio includes The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba, featuring a 15,000-square-foot luxury spa with island-inspired treatments; Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, home to one of the largest casinos in Aruba and the adults-only H2Oasis pool; and the newly opened The St. Regis Aruba Resort, offering a signature butler service and exclusive access to a white-sand beach. All properties provide beachfront stays perfect for exploring the island's natural beauty.

Cayman Islands & Curaçao – A Diver's Summer Paradise
The Cayman Islands attract divers from around the world to explore the legendary Cayman blues. Guests of the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort enjoy seamless access to top beach spots with a complimentary shuttle to Public Beach and Governor's Beach. For those seeking underwater adventure, the concierge can arrange a full range of scuba diving excursions along Seven Mile Beach through the resort's local partner.

Meanwhile, in Curaçao, the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort partners with Goby Divers, a full-service on-site dive shop offering everything from equipment rentals to guided shore and boat dives. Guests can explore the vibrant house reef, experience night dives, or participate in marine conservation through complimentary snorkel sessions to a live coral nursery, part of the resort's collaboration with Reef Renewal Curaçao.

Dominican Republic - Wellness, Serenity, and the Art of Slowing Down
Set along the serene shores of the Dominican Republic, The Westin Puntacana Resort offers an ideal blend of wellness, nature, and adventure for travelers seeking meaningful rest and exploration. While the tranquil setting encourages the art of slowing down—whether journaling by the sea or lounging under swaying palms—the surrounding region also invites discovery beyond the shoreline. Guests can enjoy hiking, birdwatching, snorkeling, and eco-adventures within the resort's protected ecological reserve.

As summer unfolds, Marriott International's Caribbean resorts provide travelers with an exceptional opportunity to explore the region's vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality—all while enjoying better value and fewer crowds.
