apex Posted May 2, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I like convenience. I am not the site seeing type. Therefore I choose Isla Margarita. Beach within walking distance and nice little stands to buy small souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted May 2, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Not wild about the Caribbean, but of those listed - ARUBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcs81m Posted May 2, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I voted for St. Thomas. In actuality I think it is a close second to Antigua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationhappy Posted May 2, 2005 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I am amazed at how many people I know love Aruba. I spent 5 days there last year and found it to be just OK. It is very Americanized, the water is just OK, the beach was nice enough but nothing spectacular. We stayed in a nice resort (Hyatt) but once again, the pool was just OK. There are so many other places that have spectacular beaches, spectacular water, and spectacular resorts. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarlenna Posted May 2, 2005 #11 Share Posted May 2, 2005 For me, the best Carribean destination us the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbouck1 Posted May 2, 2005 #12 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I persoanally liked Aruba out of all we have been on. We spent a week there for our 25th anniversay and it was the first carribean island we have been on. I think my wife would have to say St. Maarten also because she always gets the best price on jewelry there. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liner Posted May 2, 2005 #13 Share Posted May 2, 2005 We like them all for different reasons. They all have their own special charm. One of my favorites, tho...(since you asked-:p ) is Granada. The scent of that island is one that I will never forget! The fragrance of nutmeg, cinnamon and chocolate is intoxicating! We like island that are NOT Americanized! I wish I was on one of the islands now..............:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeAndBlue Posted May 3, 2005 #14 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I loved Aruba but I also loved Curacao, which isn't on the list. Definately want to get to some of the other islands, too. I am thinking about a 1 week stay at a resort in St. Lucia... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northender Posted May 3, 2005 #16 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Like another poster you did not list St. Maartin also my favorite.) I voted for St. Thomas because I love St. John and go there for the day. Aside from doing to poll, I just enjoy the cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl laber Posted May 3, 2005 #17 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Definately want to get to some of the other islands, too. I am thinking about a 1 week stay at a resort in St. Lucia... When we were on our cruise Jan 2004, we rented a car on our own and made our way around St. Lucia. We found way up in the hills (with the help of a ver nice island worker) the most awesome resort. Ladera Resort. We only ate lunch there, but took brochures. I'll try and dig out my information. It overlooked the Caribbean, you could see the Pitons, and rooms had their own individual oasis or pools. It was all open air...no windows. Netting around beds, etc. VERY cool!!! :) It is: http://www.ladera.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl laber Posted May 3, 2005 #18 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I liked St. Lucia for the tropics, and St Thomas and St Maartens for the shopping. :) Will be going to Grenada for the first time in Jan 2006. Cannot wait to see all the spices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you are right, the other things that you listed are comparable to other islands listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o'riley Posted May 6, 2005 #22 Share Posted May 6, 2005 St. John's was the best quiet beaches and the best snorkeling around I can't wait to go back. O'riley faimly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzzers Posted May 6, 2005 #25 Share Posted May 6, 2005 We especially loved Antigua. Took a private tour with "Lawrence of Antigua" and saw the whole island in all it's beauty and spent the rest of the day at a beautiful beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
