My husband and I have a reservation to stay for 8 nights at the Four Seasons in Costa Rica for our 10th Anniversary trip, the second week of June. However, we are both beach lovers and are concerned that the FS Costa Rica may not be the best choice, although it suits every other criteria. So, we have been looking over and over and all around different spots in the Caribbean too and cannot decide a.) if we should stick to what we have or b.) decide between the following or somewhere else we haven't thought of: Cap Juluca, Four Seasons Nevis, Jumby Bay, Little Dix Bay...We have been to St. John, St. Barth, St. Croix a few other spots that we have loved but want to try something new! Sorry for the long post but I'm paralyzed by choice now...
We want an updated, true luxury resort with good food, no golf necessary, great setup on the beach and top service. Thanks for reading and I would love any and all input!!
I can't decide where to go for my 10 year wedding anniversary-Help!

We went to Cap Juluca last year and loved it, but not all of the rooms are updated. They were totally fine/nice though, and all are oceanfront. The Viceroy might be another on Anguilla to consider. Definitely a good island for beach and food!
Cap Juluca has the best beach service of any resort I know and the beach is outstanding.
Little Dix Bay gets my vote. It has exactly what you are seeking.
I can't imagine anything more magnificent than the FS Costa Rica, but....I do love the FS Nevis. What I love about it is the wonderfully comfortable mahogany beds, the bathrooms, the pools and Mangos. The view of the water from Mangos is wonderful! And the service! And of course, the great restaurants around the island...but - just an FYI - Nevis is not really known for great beaches.
I did love FS Costa Rica, and the beaches were ok. I vote for Little Dix Bay as well. It's beautiful and true luxury. Also Virgin Gorda has several beautiful beaches you could check out if you wanted to get away from Little Dix. Savannah Beach is one of the best beaches I have been to.
have you considered Anguilla? From your description of desires I think it would be a magical anniversary choice.
I agree with RoamsAround. Little Dix has a gorgeous beach, beautiful rooms, beach server strolls along the half mile beach, and there are complimentary beach drops to many othe Virgin Gorda beaches.
Grenada is worth considering ... on the famous Grand Anse Beach you have a choice of resorts including Spice Island Beach Resort, Coyaba Beach Resort, etc. Grand Anse Beach is a 2-mile stretch of white, powedery sand great for relaxing. Grenada is famous for being a great honeymoon destination in the Eastern Caribbean offering peace and tranquility for those who are looking for that and it also offers a range of activities including a range of watersports, sailing, hiking, mountain-biking, river-tubing and snorkeling at the world's first underwater sculpture park.
