Hello, I'm considering a trip to one of These Islands to experience truly exquisite, clean White beaches with crystal-like water. Which Island would suit me best for this purpose?
Thanks in advance

Dominican Republic gets my vote. Even with all the hotels, the beaches around Punta Cana are some of the most pristine I have ever seen, with different shades of blue sea and the sand is kept very clean. Cuba has nice beaches too, but still can't beat the DR.

Definitely Dominican Republic. Their food is also a lot better than Cuba (Cuba has a bad reputation for resort food)

As long as US Money is not flowing into Cuba I would say that the D.R. is you best chance, even when it is the only island of the four I've not been to.
Gouadeloupe and Martinique have some beaches, but they are both very French and they don't have a big tourist infrastructure, as most of the travellers are former inhabitants which will live in their vacation home or in relatives homes.
