Travel Tips
It's a matter of choice & what types of things you two like to do. If beautiful beaches & relaxation is your thing, I'd suggest St. Vincent & the Grenadines (check Bequia & Mustique), St. John (USVI), Virgin Gorda (British Virgin Islands) or Anguilla. If you would like to island hop, you could go to St. Thomas & hop on a ferry to St. Croix, St. John, Tortola (and from Tortola check out other islands in the BVI). From St. Maarten, you can hop over to Saba, St. Eustatius & Anguilla.

If you two can scuba dive or like nature, Dominica is beautiful, and great for waterfalls & eco-tourism. Trinidad also has great eco-tourism as well as nightlife, but the beaches aren't as nice. Their sister island, Tobago is a short flight away & you could do both islands easily.

If you want a balance of nightlife and beach, I'd suggest Barbados. They have very nice beaches, and accomodation to fit every budget. St. Lucia is also a good choice, and may be an option if you're looking for a Sandals resort. Jamaica has nightlife & plenty of all-inclusive resorts at reasonable prices, though I prefer to do activities throughout the island & don't care for resorts as much as others do.

Grand Cayman, Aruba & St. Maarten offer gambling, and while very different from one another, they all have nice beaches and many airlines such as Spirit have good deals going to these destinations.

I don't think you can go wrong with any island, as they all have their own unique trait. Some are really meant for peace and quiet, while others have more activities for a more active crowd. Source(s): http://svgtourism.com

Other Travel Tips
Anguilla - best beaches!!!
Trunk Bay in St. John. It's rated as the number one beach in the world. I can actually speak from experience, you wont believe how peaceful it is. Your girlfriend will love you for it. White sand, clear cool water, man it's just awesome. My wife and I went their two years ago, and I'm sure it's the same or better. I like the fact that it's in an alcove, makes it seem like your in a different world. Trust me you wont go wrong with this choice, hope this helps in your decision peace.
Grand Caymans
Been there
Look in to Curacao.
Curacao has very beautiful beaches, great forest hikes, biking and horseback riding, snorkling, boat trips to Klein Korsow (little Curacao, small island of the coast), nice hotels, great shopping, awsome restaurants, and many other attractions. Nad pretty much, girls looove dolphins, so the Dolphin Academy is worth looking in to.
