I have heard the Four Seasons Nevis has a great course and nice beach. you might inquire on the current Four Seasons postings.

Hi Bonnie! The beach at the Hyatts (Cerromar ans Dorado Beach) and the Westin Rio Mar, both in Puerto Rico, are both beauiful - long and wide. They both have waves, so they are great to play in, but not suitable if you like "flat" water. The beach at the El Conquistador is on a separate private island - the hotel shuttles you there every 15 minutes. The beach is very nice and the water there is "flat," however, some people prefer to just walk a few steps to the beach. I hope this helps!

casa de campo in dominican republic and white witch in jamaica are probably 2 of the greatest courses in the caribbean but the beaches are mediocre.the hyatt dorado (beachfront upper or lower) has a nice beach and 4 courses (robert trent jones)if they only had a golf course on st. john, that would be perfect.

In the St. Francois area of Guadeloupe, there's a Robert Trent Jones course that's always listed among the Caribbean's best. The nearby beach at St. Francois is beautiful, possibly the island's best.
