This dvd lives up to it's claim.The picture is sharper than the other ones were and the sound is crisper.This dvd features beautiful beaches and I do mean beautiful from the Caribbean,Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.The waves on all of these islands is lapping and in most of the footage you see full ocean views and waves washing on the shore and pulling way back.You also see some sunsets.Due to the sharper picture the waves look very blue and green and clear toward the shore.Also the breaks are a lot shorter and quicker than the Califoria and Hawaiia ones.Here's a more descriptive look at what I saw in these.

The Best Virgin Island Beaches Now Coming in April

I guess I should have known, but I was hoping that this DVD would be a good choice to use my home theater to it's fullest. It's not. The DVD is not widescreen, and the sound isn't Dolby 5.1 or anything like that.

It's not a bad video, but the quality isn't anything to write home about. It's kind of like somebody's home video that's been put to DVD. Not bad, but certainly nothing amazing.

I love going to be beach!! It is so relaxing, calming and soothing. Since I live a few states away from any beach, I don't there very often. This DVD is awesome!!!! I had never seen a DVD like this before. The scenery was beautiful. The sounds crisp and clear. I'm sure it would be incredible on a large screen tv-especially a HDTV. I highly recommend this DVD and can't wait to purchase the Virgin Islands DVD.

I really enjoyed this DVD. I just returned from a relaxing trip to the tropics and on my return was almost immediately confronted by all the stress that accompanies a normal life in the US. It was so nice to to have the new Carribean Beaches DVD from Waves. It helps me relax and recover the most peaceful feelings of the sand, sky and surf.

I really like the realism of Waves the best. I travel a lot and Waves brings back all the great sights and sounds of my vacations, very relaxing. I hope they do a Thailand edition.

Highly recommend Caribbean Beaches! I've never been to the Caribbean but feel as though I have after viewing this great DVD! Images are crisp and clear, and the water looks so inviting and realistic -- if I get just a little closer to my TV screen, perhaps I might even be able to feel the waves lapping at my toes. RX for a stressful day: pour yourself a Margarita, pop in the DVD, crank up the sound of the ocean waves, turn on your ceiling fan (for a cool simulated ocean breeze), and you're there!!!!!

I have the following WAVES: Virtual Vacations DVDs ...
- The Best Caribbean Beaches
- The Best Virgin Island Beaches
- Hawaiian Dreams
- The Best Florida Beaches

I just received my DVDs today and love them so much that I had to hurry to write a review. The quality of the DVDs is BEAUTIFUL. I feel like I'm almost there on the beach and listening to the ocean in person. The DVDs are taking me back to my recent cruise where the first and last thing I heard each morning was the sound of the ocean.

These DVDs are going to be PERFECT when I'm relaxing and falling asleep or even just reading a book or walking on my treadmill. They're an instant escape for your mind to a happy, tranquil place.

I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I am going to!

I just received the "Waves: The Best Caribbean Beaches" DVD in the mail today. I am extremely pleased with the visuals. The beaches and waves are very relaxing and soothing. I sat down and watched the whole thing on my widescreen TV as soon as I took the disc out of the media mailer. The visuals were spectacular! I only wish there was a function that splashed my feet whenever the waves lapped past the bottom of my TV screen!

Thank you Greg Voevodsky for producing such a wonderful DVD. I am really looking forward to the future HD Waves productions. I can only imagine how spectacular those will be. Keep up the great work!!!

This must be the next set of beaches in the series. I have the California and Hawaii vidoes. I find this product to be an improved version of "Waves". The dvd has many upgrades including a sharper picture and sound. I like the quick transitions that seems to flow more and with less graphics. It is no longer ment to be watched in 10 minute segments. This new DVD flows through all of the segments quickly, easily, and effortlessly with a simple fade in and fade out between segments and without the graphics. ( six in all)
I alert others that this is not an IMAX film, rather it is a Digital Video and stereo sound. I find the product to be an intimate time on the beach like a daydream with the lapping of waves...its still beautiful and soothing like the entire series just a bit more mature.
I don't mind telling all of you, that as a relaxsation DVD, I can put all the stress of my life aside as I watch this spectacular view in all its' glorious color, refreshing sound, suspended beauty and natural surroundings. I am so impressed with the quality and serenity of these beaches. I have begun to save my dollars so I too can see this marvilous place for myself.
Thank you for putting me at rest anytime I find my life unravelling at the seems. Your series again has helped me to cope the day to day axiety of working in a big city.

The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is that it would be much better in high def and day six has some boring scenes involving staring at large rocks on a beach. On my Mac, the scenes look great. On my old TV, I would agree with some of the other viewers in that it is pretty much like watching somebody's vacation video, albeit a well done video.

It would be nice if it was broken into a morning, day and evening section instead of 6 short days. Just when you get into relaxing into a beautiful sunset, it flips to bright day light. This is a very minor point...just a nice to have.

It is incredibly relaxing and well done. Most of the scenes are breath taking. You almost feel like you're there. I very much recommend it.
