1. Have you ever been there.
2. Are you fluent in Spanish.
A no answer could be a no back. Try up the islands a bit, your passport will be better received. Maybe T/C.
300TT is no help either, realizing one must start somewhere.
If you answer #2 in the affrimative, and have a CFI, you might build some time. In the meantime enjoy the beaches (and the Presidente Beer) with the GF.
