Bahamas or St. Martin???
 
We're traveling with our 2 yr.old daughter. Which would be better, St. Martin or Bahamas? How's the all-inclusive in Nassau, Bahamas?? I'm concerned whether it will be too much with a toddler to do st. martin. People have also commented that you can't find "luxury" hotels in st. martin (that it's a different standard).

I don't think that is true about St. Martin. Here's a couple luxury hotels, the first one is a member of Leading Hotels of the World:

Considering you have a 2 year old, why not consider a condo with a living room and kitchen, which would make life a lot easier than doing restaurants for every meal. Nassau is a zoo and your baby won't get anything out of it. St. Martin would probably be more restful for mom and dad.

One thing to consider about your trip is whether you will be spending most of your time at the resort, or out and about. When my boyfriend and I were in the bahamas we were offered drugs and were felt hassled a lot. That may be something to consider when you've got a kid. St. Martin we never had a problem though.
