You are doing incredibly well. You have gotten way beyond the levels achieved by a lot of players.
I am on Chapter 78 and will play some more tomorrow.
EDIT: I played quite a bit today and am now on Chapter 96. I am going to save the rest for another day. These last ten levels never get any easier.

Most players seem to never get as far as you have! I am on Chapter 98 now, but am taking a relaxing break to play Ice Cream Mania. I will get back to Caribbean Hideaway, though, when my muscles untense! There was one level of Caribbean Hideaway that I had 2 seconds remaining when I beat it. There have been several really close calls like that one.

Think you're so cool don't ya? I am still on Chapter 88. I have tried it 100 times, no exaggeration. I am keeping track so if I missed writing something down it could even be more. This was all today. It is 3:46 am and I have been at this since 11:00 am, on and off. Not very long breaks, but some. I bow down to you Marian. You are the queen of the Caribbean Hideaway!! Wait, that's a lie. I tried 22 times on Friday, the other 78 were Saturday. (I had to get out of bed to edit this!)

I am getting old, so it's nice to know that I can still be cool at something. The game was released on Big Fish in 2008 and I have played it off and on since around 2009, so I have had many years of experience with it. The only other match 3 game I have found to be almost as unforgiving in the latter stages is the original Cradle of Rome - and I never finished that one. Maybe someday I will get back to it. Someone who is a whiz at these games posted this about Caribbean Hideaway on the BF forum: I finally finished...it took a complete restart before I could. What a tough game! Normally I don't mind if a game is timed, but as fast as you have to go near the end, it doesn't seem like a very accessible game to many. That aside, if you don't mind a serious challenge, this is a unique and well thought out game that can be played over and over. If you are getting really frustrated (and who wouldn't be at this point?), maybe get away from the game for a while and go back to it when you are feeling more kindly disposed towards it. That helps me sometimes.
