Caribbean Romantic Island?
 
Hello there!
It's my first time traveling to the Caribbean with my girlfriend and I hear some many different things from different friends. I'm deviating between St.Maarten and Aruba. Would any body mind to share their experience and give me some advice?
Thanks,
David

St Marteen La Samana my fav of your islands green french
side prettiest hilly..Aruba Hyatt Palm Eagle beach flat deserty island not too romantic. Others I like nisbettpalntation.com Nevis jademountain.com (private
plunge pools) pinksandsresort.com runawayhill.com Bahamas.

i would not consider either of these to be at all romantic. aruba is a party island & st. marteen is heavily populated & very very busy.
rock house in negril would be a very cool choice. very unique resort.
if in your budget you might look at anse chastanet, ladera or jade mtn on st. lucia
one of my best friends found http://www.palmislandresortgrenadines.com/ to be delightful & very romantic.
you really need to give us a lot more details for us to help you narrow your search. when are you going? specifically how much can you spend? how long will you stay? how much travel are you willing to do & from where? what do YOU consider to be romantic? would you like to spend days chilling on the beach or ziplining? evenings - quiet dinner or casino?
