Depends on what you are looking for. If you want relaxation, beautiful beaches and great shopping go to Aruba, Antigua or one of the dutch or british islands. The islands in the lower part of the caribbean are more secluded. However, be ready to pay more for plane tickets the further south you go.
If you stick to most of the northern islands (which are the larger islands) it'll be easier to find great travel deals.
However, if you're seeking great night life, go to Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad or Bahamas. All four have great resorts that offer massages, drinks and food included in the price plus entertainment and water sports. However, their night life is MUCH better than most of the other islands. The other islands tend to have night life such as karaoke, old drunk men dancing and other boring planned events.
Of all the Islands I've been too, I think that Jamaica has it all. Beautiful beaches, Lots of hotels that have food and alcohol included in the price water sports, great golf courses and lots of "Adult themed" events if you're looking for something more risque. Jamaica also has, I believe the only adult only resort in the Caribbean. They have 3 resorts called Hedonism I, II and III. ranging from sexually charged to full blown nudity. If you're looking for something more tamed try the Beaches resorts or the Sandals resorts. If you are hit with a hurricane they'll usually re-imburse you.
If you're looking for a deal, check out www.travelzoo.com On that site you'll find this great resort that is 50% off because of it's grand opening plus it's an all-inclusive resort which means that ALL food, drinks and entertainment is included in the price.
All of the other island listed by previous poster are beautiful and relaxing, but when I visited them I got bored after a 2 or 3 days. They didn't have much to do at night besides sit around the bar. Basically, what you will get at all of the other islands posters have listed you will get in the larger islands plus more.
Well I hope that helped.

My favorite place in the Caribbean is a country that also is liked by more people than anywhere else in the Caribbean and is the number one destination in the Caribbean.
The mean temperature is 82 degrees F all year. There are the most beautiful beaches in the world plus the highest peak in the Caribbean that gets SNOW often and frost all the time.
I liked this country so much I moved here about 5 years ago and haven't looked back since.
Where I live on the North Coast we haven't had a hurricane in recorded history. When you go from west to east you have the ocean on your left and countless numbers of beautiful beaches and you have the mountains and cliffs on your right.
You will also pass by the nicest Golf Course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr which is called the Pebble Beach of the Caribbean although it has 12 holes directly on the ocean unlike Pebble Beach which only has 8.
The people love Americans, are friendly, beautiful and man can they dance. The cost of living here is real low and you can get a typical native meal for about 3 US Dollars at hundreds of roadside restaurants. Not unusual to get a hotel anywhere from 25 US a night to 55 US a night in HIGH SEASON. I see hotels as low as 15 US a night but I would splurge and pay more:)
We also have the oldest homes and Church in the Americas and many historical areas throughout the country.
The land is so fertile here when you cut fence posts to put up barbed wire the posts root and grow.
This is not just an Island but a country. We have lush tropical mountains, mountain peaks with snow, desert and of course countless beautiful beaches.
I bet you don't know I am talking about the Dominican Republic do you?
