For culture and perhaps some exploring/adventure id say San Juan. For partying and nightlife and being single - 100% Nassau. With all the tourists that come through there from all over the world, being a single guy in Nassau is like shooting fish in a barrel. So many cool places to go during the day and the nightlife there is awesome. Add in the Atlantis for gambling/pool time/etc and that is 100% my vote.

I've been to all of those many times. If you are a single guy, going on your own then I would definitely suggest Nassau. I would suggest staying at the Cove at Atlantis vs. the big towers at Atlantis. There are lot's of good bars and some good clubs. Cruise ships come in daily with with fresh supplies of women, so that's a huge plus.
Here's the breakdown from my viewpoint:
Bermuda- It's super nice, but you need to bring you're own play pals. It's a place to go with someone.
Nassau- stated above. It's very commercial, and just another city on an island. However, it will be the most fun for a single guy.
Cancun- not that special, I would rather go to Playa del Carmen or Acapulco. But if you want to go nuts and meet lots of trashy smashed college chicks then the obvious choice is to go during spring break. I've been once for that, had a great time and I will not be going again ever.
Montego Bay- I love this place and it's very nice, but you will need to go with someone. Other wise bring your favorite lube and you will have many beautiful places to enjoy yourself.
San Juan- it's nice and fun, but it's like Miami with an old Spanish city in the middle and not as many cool bars and restaurants. If you want to have a blast, and see the same exact type of old fortified spanish city, and meet lot's of fun loving single people then go to Cartagena Colombia.
Aruba- it's cool. As stated before it's basically a desert island. Still pretty though. I have a few friends that live there and Curacao. Lot's of large all inclusive resorts, so it's up to you. Just not my thing. It's lots of fun if you go during Carnaval, otherwise you had better be an avid fan of Golf or Diving.
Punta Cana- you've been there so no need to get into that.

^^^ Awesome review ^^^
I couldnt agree more with your summary of Nassau, Cancun (i too would rather be in Playa Del Carmen), and San Jaun (basically Miami with even less white people LOL!).
Seriously, the Cove at Atlantis is the ticket --- although its not cheap. But your flight was free so buck up man hahahahahaha.
Do i smell a Nassau TeamSpeed Meet 2012?!?!?!

As far as Aruba, I've been to to Curacao...about the same? I would love to go to Colombia but alas its not on my list of places I can fly. I dont golf but I do dive.
Jon as you know I have been partying a fair bit recently and wouldn't mind going somewhere where I wasn't temped to do that every night haha. I think the answer here is I need to find a chick to come with me and then I can go to somewhere other than Nassau. Unless we have a TS meet...in that case she can stay home and im down for Nassau lol

Been to all... with 10 trips to the Bahamas, 2 trips to Aruba, 2 trips to Jamaica... the rest I have only visited once each.
Everyone here goes to Aruba with their family. Never pictured it as a place to go as a single guy. Same goes for Bermuda, which IMO is quite similar to Aruba, but with less to do. Aruba gets crazy wind as well... like an abnormal amount of wind, which IMO is annoying.
Montego Bay is OK at best. Jamaica is probably my least favorite island in the Caribbean. Very ghetto outside of the major resorts; you never feel safe.
Cancun is wild and trashy, but attracts a very young crowd. Cabo, Pulco, and Puerto Vallarta are all better Mexican locations.
For a single guy, I don't think you can beat the Hard Rock @ Punta Cana...
