You could try the Island of Tobago which is part of the state of
Trinidad and Tobago. My parents were there a couple of years ago
and compared to Florida,Bremuda and Barbados the thing they most
observed was the lack of commercialism. Of course there were still
the beach front resorts and the like but the area wasn't all dedicated
to tourism. All in all they were impressed with the slow laid back 
sort of atmosphere generated by the people.  And then again this is 
only my second hand opinion. Congratulations and best wishes in the future.
