Super luxury resort- 4 nights

My husband and I are looking for a four night getaway at a very luxurious resort with a beautiful beach, amazing service, and great food that's not a pain in the neck to get to since we are only going for four nights. We are traveling from Newark Airport. We were looking at Four Seasons Nevis and Cap Juluca but I'm afraid that it will take too long to travel to those resorts. Is it worth it (the traveling)? Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you don't want to travel very far look into the One and Only Club in the Bahamas.

When are you planning on going? Getting real, if it's anytime soon, the Bahama's will be too cool. FS Nevis is outstanding! The service from the staff is incredible. Newark is a good airport to fly into the Caribbean from. Depending on the length of time it would take to travel to Nevis, it's up to you to decide if that's too long or not. The only other thing I would add is that Nevis is not known for it's beaches. But the restaurants are around the island are awesome!

I also fly exclusively out of Newark and love Anguilla and Cap Juluca, but it's too far four nights IMO. What about the Ritz Carlton Cancun? Great hotel, great beach and service, and you can be on the beach by noon with many direct flights EWR-CUN.

We are planning on going mid-March. What about Turks and Caicos? What's the best resort there?

Best in Turks? There are quite a few:
Parrot Cay
On Provo you have Grace Bay Club, Point Grace, Somerset, Regent Palms, Amanyara, Gansevoort, Seven Stars all with different personalities but very luxurious.

I'm throwing out a few others for your consideration:

Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman (lots of great restaurants close by)

Ritz Carlton, Jamaica

Round Hill Hotel & Villas, Jamaica

Sandy Lane, Barbados

Those islands more than likely have direct flights from Newark.

If it were me I'd probably head as far south as possible to be assured of nice beach weather in March.

I've stayed at both Four Seasons Nevis and Cap Juluca. Both are nice with good food. Service was great at 4 Seasons. You can reach Anguilla relatively quickly if you arrange for a private boat to take you from St. Maarten to Anguilla.
