I was just about to pour myself a glass of wine, shed my dusty clothes, and slip into the bubble bath waiting on my riverside deck when there was a knock at the door. Instead of soaking, I spent the next hour enjoying a massage in the privacy of my suite.

Tranquil beauty, stunning blue waters, delectable island cuisine, stretches of glistening white sand, and lots of sunshine: The Caribbean is home to a handful of vastly beautiful and distinct islands that bring waves of sun-searching travelers from near and far season after season.

While we know Lopez is happily involved with Ben Affleck, it’s the former baseball player who is keeping us guessing about his relationship status with NFL sideline reporter Melanie Collins.
