Beautiful. Never call them anything else.
Depending on where you live: In the US, many people just call the West Indies, "The Caribbean" meaning one of many island vacation spots.

I would call her a common-looking woman. Average
Una bella mujer.
Columbus believed he had reached the Indies when he arrived in North America, so he called the people he found there "Indians". Though this term has been inaccurate since it was first used, the term "Native American" did not come into use until centuries later.
Columbus called these islands the Indiesbecause he thought he had finally reached Asia (and the East Indies). Spain, when Columbus' mistake was discovered, (pardon the pun) renamed them the West Indies, to distinguish them from the Spice Islands in the Pacific Ocean, (the East Indies) which we now call Indonesia.
to make the woman feel that she is attractive and beautiful and to make her feel better about herself....
it was so named because to him we looked like the east indies he was just idle
