Do I go to St. Maaten/St.Martin or Barbados?

Help

My roommate and are planning a trip in July but we can not make up our minds about which island to go to.

Which island would be best for rest and relaxation for her and great beaches/sight seeing for me.

Will it be St. Maarten or Barbados?

You haven't given us much to go one. Both islands have nice beaches and sighseeing. Both offer opportunities for rest and relaxation. In fact you can find those things on just about every island.

Tell us more about what you expect in an island vacation. What do you want to do? how old are you?

Since you say you can't make up your mind I assume you've done some research about those two islands 9which by the way are quite different). Tell us what about them appealed to you and what you don't like. Try to be specific. Make a list of the 10 or 15 things that would make an ideal vacation. List them in order of preferance. that will help us help you narrow down your choice.

We have been to Barbados twice. The first time was quite a lesson for us as we did sightseeing all over the island and there is so much to see and do. The food was wonderful. The island made us much happier than we imagined it would.

St. Martin offers everything on your "wish list" and more with the possible exception of ATV's. Not sure which islands may have those for rent.
