Exotic Paradise Help !!
 
Everyone was such a help with my amazing trip to Port Antonio I thought I would solicit your help for this trip . My husband won 2 standby tickets and we plan to use them the first or second week of November . So far I love the look of St .Lucia , Martinique , Nevis , Grenada , and Bequia . We like lush , hilly , scenic, laid back . We do not need tons of nightlife , mile long beaches , 5 star restaurants , casinos , etc. Thought it would be fun to have your input , if there are other islands in the caribbean that fit the bill let me know !! Thanx !! Faith

P.S. I understand that with my love for the truly lush , exotic , hilly look I sacrifice on beaches a bit , that is o.k. ! We really love the off the beaten trail thing , Robinson Crusoe with linen type of thing . Thanx guys ! Faith

I vote for St. Lucia, it fits your description perfectly....The true gem is the land and the people...it is not nightlife or casino oriented at all...It was the most beautiful place....I hope you will get some more responses too...have fun wherever you decide to go !

Based on what you've said, I'd narrow it down to:

St Lucia
Grenada
Nevis

I've been to all three, and they all fit what you're asking for. Grenada is the most active, and Nevis and St Lucia are similar in atmosphere. St Lucia definitely has the most amazing and dramatic scenery.

Thanx , I believe both of you might have responded in the past . I had put searching on hold while we were in Jamaica , now I am starting afresh , so thanx for taking the time . This is so much fun , so many nice places ! Faith
