Best Family Vacation Island
Jeff
probably rent a large villa where we will have two toddlers, but Grandma and
Grandpa along to babysit. We enjoy snorkeling, hiking, golf, dining, and
shopping. We are looking for a place with nice swimming beaches, friendly
people, and beautiful and diverse geography with a definite Caribbean feel
to it (as opposed to spanish or mexican feel).
We have kind of focused in on St. Croix, St. Lucia, and St. Marin/Maarten.
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

rental. There are about fifty villas scattered all over the island, some on the
beach, others higher up on the hill with great views, and most with private
swimming pools. We found details on the web site:

Email if you have any questions. The beaches in Virgin Gorda were awesome!

Have you considered an all-inclusive yacht charter? This way you have
access to more than one island, lots of beaches and activities for the whole
family to enjoy! This type of vacation is great for families. Children, as
well as adults, have so much to keep them occupied and, in the worst case
scenario, most boats do have videos also... ;-)
Have fun in the islands!

has golf, both have snorkeling and diving. They are all inclusive, the two
specialty restaurants are very good, the buffet is good to very good. Great
relaxing feeling, shows every night. Very reasonable prices.
This year we are trying Punta Cana in Dominican Republic, we have heard good
things.
Enjoy.

Virgin Gorda's Mahoe Bay has a great enclave of villas on a beautiful beach
with reefs just offshore so little or no waves are present most of the time.
See www.b-v-i.com/BeachCoast/
For family activities, see "Families in Paradise" at
www.b-v-i.com/Vacations/families.htm
To take toddlers and grandparents on a week long yacht cruise would require
extra precautions, unless the whole family was well-versed in boat usage.

I recently came back from a wedding in Jamaica and everyone stayed in
the villas at the Half Moon Resort. I'm not sure if you considered
Jamaica, but it was a great time for everyone of all ages. They have
horseback riding, pools, beaches and each villa has its own pool area,
butler, maid and cook. It is expensive, but we thought it was worth
every penny.

Take a look at my newsletter about St. John, USVI. I'll be happy to tell
you all about it.

I used to live on St. Croix and would be happy to answer questions.

bahama island? They have done quite a bit of tourism development
lately and when I was there (2 years ago) we had a blast! Casinos,
great snorkeling, great food, great nightlife (touristy nightlife),
shopping... and best of all its still a bargain when you compare to
other islands in the bahamas.
