where is a good place to stay that is beachfront or close walking distance to a sandy beach with great snorkeling?

Bonaire, Cozumel, Buccaneer in St. Croix. Coral Gardens in Provo.

Since you're posted under USVI, I assume that's where you're planning on going (a bit confused by Anon's response!). Just a suggestion but go to usvi-on-line.com and check out what's available on all three islands. When you've narrowed it down through research, ask for more specifics in this forum and you're bound to find what you'd like. Some resorts are all-inclusive, others are near good beachew but not directly on them so your question is just a little bit too general to respond to. Good luck!

Responder, I don't get it. How do you know that the original poster posted under USVI? Fodor's doesn't show this info unless you happen to do a search using the right location...

Caneel Bay on St. John.
