Antigua resort - need help!

Trying to decide on a June vacation to Antigua (Jumby or Carlisle) also still in the running - St. Martin (La Samanna) or St. Lucia (Cap Maison?) Very different I know. Anyone with recent experiences in any of these resorts who has feedback would be appreciated! We are a couple in our 30s travelling with 23 month old. Thanks!

I've been to all 3 islands but not the resorts you mention....What are you looking for? Are you a beach person...LaSamana is on long beach (aptly named), but it's rocky....St. Lucia beaches are darker, rougher sand.....I'm only familiar with Dickinson Beach on Antigua...but Antigua is known for it's beaches - 1 for every day of the year!

We are looking for relaxing vacation, nice beach that you can also swim in with a toddler, upscale to luxury hotel, good food / restaurant choices. We are now leaning toward Antigua.

EMM, just wanted to comment in case you have not finalized your plans yet. We were in Antigua (Carlisle Bay) in 2009, and are actually headed back there in about 2 weeks. We really enjoyed it. Beach is great, and while hotel is upscale and luxury, has a very laid back feel, very relaxed. Food was very good, with several options at the hotel. We don't have kids, but the hotel is family friendly from what I have seen. Enjoy!
