FAST HELP????
 
I'm trying to plan a getaway for my girlfriend and I. Here's the problem, we need to go in 3 weeks (weekend of May 2). Here's what I'm looking for...SERVICE, beautiful beaches, SERVICE, good food, a casino would be nice, and SERVICE. Price is no object, but I just don't know where to go. Any suggestions???

Price is no object? For Service:<BR>Ocean Club - Paradise Island,Bahamas<BR>Cambridge Beaches - Bermuda<BR>From what I hear (not based on personal experience):<BR>Jumby Bay - Antigua<BR>Little Palm Island - Florida Keys<BR>

Ooops - Little Palm, as the rest of the Keys, does not have the beautiful beaches you are looking for. Does have excellent food and service, however.

For good service and the most beautiful beaches, go to: Anguilla or Turks &amp; Caicos. Neither destination has a casino, however. Cap Juluca on Anguilla is worth looking into. Food good in both locations, but I tend to like Anguilla better. <BR><BR>Casinos can be found on St. Martin and Aruba, among other places, but in my opinion they are both less romantic destinations.<BR><BR>Grand Anse beach on Grenada is quite lovely--you could check out Spice Island Beach Resort there. Calabash hotel, also on Grenada, has good service.<BR><BR>

Cap Juluca may well be full; it tends to fill up fast, from what I've heard. Other options on Anguilla are Cuisinart, Covecastles or Malliouhana. Or if price is really no object, Temenos villas, perhaps?

The Allegro Resort in Provo, T&amp;C does have a casino. It isn't huge but it was clean and fun. I second the recommendation of T&amp;C - Grace Bay is absolutely breathtaking! We loved being able to snorkel right from the beach in many spots and actually seeing many different, colorful fish. Have fun planning your getaway!

go to aruba. snorkel, gamble, explore island, eat anywhere, shop, lay out it has it all. It is a desert island, so no tropical beachy scenes, but they are clean, spacious and the island is soo friendly!
