What is the best Caribbean Island for late December travel?

Would love a winter vacation in the Caribbean and can't decide which island to go to - I want one that isn't rainy and cold in December (I want to swim and lie in the sand) AND has reasonable prices!! Aruba is great, I know, but, it's a bit pricey for us!
I'm looking for an inexpensive island that has tons of sun in Decmeber - I don't want to be rained on! When answering, can you let me know why you think it'll be great in December. Thanks!

Stay away from the Western Caribbean; don't waste your money. Opt for Eastern Caribbean; you won't regret it!

Some place with very warm weather, no rain and very good nude beaches.

Try Puerto Rico. It's beautiful, cheap, you don't need a passport, you can use US currency and most people speak English!

Definitely Barbados. I've been there in December 2004, and it was sun, sun, sun. :) Trust me, it was paradise, escaping from the cold where I live, and I was able to enjoy the warmth!

Try comparing prices online and from travel agency to another, and do this until you find a fare that's a lot cheaper than most, then you grab it. For cheapest accommodation, and you don't care about luxury, but at least clean, then try Pegwell Inn Guest House.

This guesthouse is close to amenities, beaches, even of walking distance to fast food restaurants, especially post office, and there's public transportation right near that place - you could take a big bus into its capital, Bridgetown or even further Speightstown!

Hope this helps.

Jamaica

Check out Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
