Island Advice
I have been to a few islands in the Caribbean (st Thomas, St. John, Puerto Rico, and Aruba). I love the Virgin island especially St John. Puerto Rico was ok and I was very disappointed in Aruba. I am actually at the Aruba airport currently about to head back to the states with my family. It was so windy where we couldn’t enjoy the beach. Yes, the water is beautiful and the people were very friendly but the wind basically ruined the trip. Also, the landscape is fugly-it’s a damn desert! I knew it was flat but that didn’t help. I think St. John and st Thomas are beautiful due to the mountains and the various coves/harbors.
With that said, we are planning our trip for next year and wanted advice on islands to visit? We have a 4 year old (5 next year) and need a 3 bedroom place. Either a house/villa or a condo at a resort. My parents are wanting to go to Dominican Republic and I do not want to go there. I would like to go to Antigua. Soo, what are some suggestions on islands to visit? We go for 5 full days and generally spend 3 days at the place/beach we are staying at. Take 1 day to do a boat tour. And 1 day hop in the car to visit another beach or adventure on the island.
And thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
