Real Life Review

I remembered my trip to the Bahamas six months ago. It was my first time to go on a trip alone. I can still recall how awkward I was when I was trying to hit on some ladies back there. I must admit that I was really shy, and flirting is not really my forte. But I wanted to spend my five-day vacation on the island with a companion, like a beautiful date. While I was in my cabin, I searched for a dating site where I can meet gorgeous local Bahamians. I saw CaribbeanCupid, and I gave it a try. There were lots of attractive Caribbeans who persuaded me to get a membership with the use of my credit card.

Through that, I met Alena. She's a poi dancer on the adjacent island. We chatted for days before she invited me to see her perform. While watching her, my heart was also on fire. She became more beautiful in my eyes. After that night, we were together almost every day. The five-day short trip became longer than expected.

Usability and Design

CaribbeanCupid's design follows the other Cupid sites' trademark of being simple yet functional. You can set a few adjustments depending on your preference, like changing the grid style of the profiles and selecting other languages. The site is set in white background with hues of orange and yellow. It represents the colorful and positive vibes of the Caribbean culture. Others may find it a little outdated; yet, it still has special features that may be useful in finding your perfect match.
