Caribbean Twitter users gush about their favourite things from other islands

After a very stressful night engaged in a

legendary, troll-level war of words, Caribbean Twitter users have shown their

beautiful, unified side on Tuesday (July 28).

The trend, started by Anguillan @islandpapi_,

asked the Caribbean Twitterati to state something good about an island that isn’t

home and the glowing reviews flowed in almost instantly.

Say something good about an Island that is not yours.— Caribbean Public Defender (@islandpapi_)

Aww…BUZZ fam! Can we make this a weekly thing, please?

Reading these Caribbean testimonials is another reminder than our collective beauty and unity is definitely something to celebrate.

Nearly every country and territory, from the northernmost tip of The Bahamas to southern Guyana, was washed with love as Twitter users remembered their fondest moments, visits and unforgettable experiences.

Here are some of the most heart-warming tweets of Caribbean love:
