Hi bossross,
There are numerous Caribbean resorts, located on an island with a
volcano, as most of the islands in the Caribbean are products of
volcanoes. Look at the second map on this site:
http://www.uwiseismic.com/Islandprof/ip_hpage.html
You can see all the islands that have active volcanoes on the map.

However, I have compiled a list of islands that seem likely to be what
you are seeking:
Saba, British Virgin Islands
=============================
Saba Rock Resort
?Saba Rock is among the cluster of serene, scarcely inhabited Islands
that form the North Sound of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin
Islands. The North Sound neighborhood consists of Richard Branson's
exclusive Necker Island and the private Island of St. Eustatia with
the surrounding pristine waters of Eustatia Reef, a snorklers
paradise. Prickly Pear Island, a National Park designation, forms the
green covered, white sand background to the swimming pool-like
setting. With a pirates past, a hideaway present, and a cherished
future, this distinguished Caribbean location provides the unspoiled,
nautical scenery of an unforgettable tropical island experience. You
never know what famous or infamous person you will bump into when
exploring the hidden secrets in the Sound!?

?The island of Saba was created from a volcano and its offshore sites
reflect this. Overgrown by colorful corals and sponges, the volcanic
rock formations slope at varying angles from shallow water into the
depths, and there are pinnacles and mini-walls as well. St. Eusatius,
known as ?Statia,? is near Saba, but offers a different kind of
diving. There are wide, flat reefs in relatively shallow water, and
shipwrecks from several centuries. The waters off the island of
Anguilla are host to a number of wrecks that have been sunk for
divers.?

St. Lucia
==========
St. James?s Club
?Peer into a drive-in volcano, go scuba diving, discover deep sea
fishing, or simply relax in the natural beauty of the renowned Pitons
that is St. Lucia.?
http://www.eliteislandresorts.com/site/resorts.asp?islandID=3&resortID=16
Honeymoons at St. Jame?s Club
St. James?s offers 3 different honeymoon packages, two of which are
$295 USD, and one is $395 USD
?These packages are in addition to standard complimentary honeymoon
gifts of fruit or flowers and sparkling wine or champagne in-room upon
arrival. Prices are per couple, not per person, payable at the resort,
but must be booked in advance. These packages are sold as a whole;
therefore, individual inclusions have no cash value, cannot be
exchanged or transferred, and are non-refundable if unused?
http://www.eliteislandresorts.com/site/features.asp?featureID=1103&resortID=16&islandID=3
?Sulphur Springs is home to a seven-mile wide volcanic crater that
visitors to St. Lucia can drive to; swimming and soaking in hot
springs are also not to be missed. Diamond Falls splashes into a
volcanic pool below known as the Diamond Mineral Baths?
?Nestled within a lush St. Lucian hillside above a crescent beach with
views of the nearby Piton Mountains, Anse Chastanet resort offers an
all-inclusive honeymon package that includes a resort dive course for
two and an anniversary-return certificate.
The package covers all meals -- including afternoon tea -- and drinks,
a tour of the Soufriere Volcano, Sulphur Springs and Diamond Mineral
Baths. a guided tour of Anse Mamin (the ruined French colonial
plantation next door), and a guided boat snorkel trip.
Travelers who buy the package are also entitled to a scenic St. Lucia
shopping trip to Castries (via boat), a one-hour Swedish massage for
two, a bottle of Champagne, and unlimited use of the tennis court and
windsurfing, snorkeling, mini-sailing, and kayaking equipment. You'll
be greeted with a welcome cocktail and complementary basket of St.
Lucia fruit. St. Lucia airport transfers, tax, and service charges are
part of the deal. And upon departure you'll receive a gift certificate
to be used on your next visit.
Rooms are decorated with furniture hand-crafted from island woods,
original art, and fresh flowers. Blending in with the St. Lucia
environment, some of the balconies and bathrooms wrap around living
trees and entire walls are open to what's been called the "most
riveting" view in the Caribbean. The resort's 500 acres borders the
best natural beach in St. Lucia.?

One person?s travel adventures on St. Lucia:
?Experience the warm healing waters of the hot springs of the
Soufriere Volcano, exploring the rainforest by foot or even by bike,
or planning a shopping trip in the nearby town of Castries. ?
http://www.scubatreks.com/stlucia/
?St. Lucia is a mother lode of fun for junior geologists. Inland from
the Pitons, near the village of Soufrière, follow your noses to St.
Lucia's dormant--but still fuming--Mount Soufrière. From the edge of
the hissing 300-degree cauldron, kids can survey the stratified inside
wall of the volcano crater. The entry fee is $3 per person.?

Anse Chastanet
http://honeymoons.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ansechastanet.com
http://honeymoons.about.com/od/stlucia/
?Mount Soufrière, a dormant volcano near the town of Soufrière, is
called the "drive-in volcano" because it is actually possible to drive
a vehicle into the crater. Natural sulfur springs that flow there are
rumored to have therapeutic properties, and people often bathe in the
waters. Farther south, the twin peaks of the Pitons loom on the
horizon, dwarfing everything around them. Gros Piton is shorter, but
wider, and rises to 2,460 feet. The leaner Petit Piton stands 2,619
feet above sea level. Vieux Fort, at the southernmost point of the
island, is one of the oldest settlements. Miles of palm-lined
white-sand beaches extend along the coast just outside the colonial
town.?

St. John
=========
?My family and I have just returned from a vacation in St. John. This
island is located in the Caribbean between Puerto Rico and Anegada.
Over half of the island is an United States National Park. Of volcanic
origin, the island is very mountainous.?

St. Vincent and the Grenadines
===============================
?On St. Vincent, the largest island you will find fertile valleys,
rain-forest slopes, rushing rivers, soothing waterfalls, black-sand
beaches, and a rugged volcano. Even its capital and prime commercial
port, Kingstown, blends in with the picture-perfect surroundings of
lush greenery.
The northern third of St. Vincent is covered by the Soufriere
Mountains ? the home of La Soufriere, a 4,000 foot high volcano. From
the rim of the volcano you can have a breathtaking view right into the
crater.?
http://www.debbiescaribbeanresortreviews.com/stvincent/stvincent.html
http://www.scubamom.com/grenadines/
?St. Vincent, A lush volcanic island, just 18 miles north to south and
11 miles wide, its windward coast is lined with cliffs and rocky
shores pounded by the Atlantic ocean. The leeward coast has
spectacular slopes and valleys running down to beaches lapped by the
tranquil Caribbean Sea. The Capital, Kingstown, combines reminders of
its colonial past with the bright and bustling life of a modern market
town.?
http://www.eliteislandresorts.com/site/theGrenadines/index.asp
?Young Island Resort is a Five Star luxury hideaway on a thirty-five
acre island 200 yards off the coast of St. Vincent. Thirty private
cottages are scattered along a hillside, or on the beach. There are a
restaurant and bar, tennis court, a lagoon-style pool, and a white
sand beach. Guests reach Young Island from St. Vincent Airport. A
taxi/ferry transfer is arranged to meet incoming flights. There are
hammocks under thatched roofs for reading and napping in the shade.
Windsurfers, small sailboats, glass bottom boat, snorkel equipment and
use of the tennis court are complimentary to guests. Water skiing and
scuba diving can be arranged for an extra charge.?
http://www.caribbeans.com/2stvinc/3young/3youngisland.htm
?The island consists of a central axial range of mountains starting
from La Soufrière (1,178 m), in the north, to Mount St. Andrew (736 m)
to the south. This range of volcanic mountains divides the island
almost equally between a gently sloping eastern or windward side and a
deeply dissected and rugged western or leeward side. The north-south
trending stratovolcanic centres which make up the backbone of the
island show a northward migration in age from 3 Ma, near the south of
the island, to 0.6 Ma at the Soufrière volcano (Rowley 1978a). After
the main centres of activity had migrated to the Morne Garu and
Soufrière Mountains to the north minor eruptions may have occurred at
Belleisle Hill and Kings Hill to the south producing red, olivine
micro-phyric basalt scoria cones in small explosive eruptions (Rowley
1978a).?

St. Kitts
==========
?In 1493, Christopher Columbus sailed past on his second voyage to the
New World. As the two islands came into view, Columbus spied a
cloud-crowned volcano that recalled the snow-capped mountains of
Spain. Proclaiming that Liamuiga was now Nieves?Spanish for
snows?Columbus sailed on and left the twin islands in his wake.?
http://www.stkittsmarriott.com/
"St. Kitts is a volcanic island, a fact to which it owes its dramatic
central mountains, its rather unpredictable geologic history, and its
lush tropical vegetation. In fact, St. Kitts' pre-Columbian Carib
inhabitants knew their island as Liamuiga, or "fertile land," a
reference to the island's rich and productive volcanic soil. Today
that name graces St. Kitts' central peak, a 3,792-foot extinct
volcano."

Martinique
==========
?Lush scenery, a magnificent tropical rain forest, Mt. Pelee (the
volcano), French and Creole food, scuba diving, a few casinos,
nightlife, shopping and Diamond Rock are Martinique's foremost
attractions. Martinique is for those who are looking for a laid-back
Caribbean holiday amid beautiful scenery and French culture. Those who
are looking for the beautiful, wide beaches, excellent service or a
place where English is widely spoken would be better off choosing
another island.?
