Hi Moarroyo,

No one knows what you are asking, how much you want to spend, who you are going with, etc. so they can't make suggestions.

You'll have to include more information to get an answer.

You are asking for a comparison of 2 islands and 1 island chain. Where in the T&C are you planning to visit?

Generally speaking, you'll find better beaches in the T&C than on the other two islands but there's not much sightseeing on the island. You should know the T&C's are relatively flat, arid and scrubby island with little natural vegetation. You won't find much natural shade on any of the beaches throughout the chain.

St. Kitts has lots of interesting sights to see such as fortresses, old ruins, dormant lava flows, rainforests and a volcano. The beaches, however, are just OK compared to the other islands on your list.

St. Thomas is the most built up island but it does offer a variety of attractive palm tree lined beaches.

You can relax on any beach regardless of its size or location. What is it you really want? How much do you want to spend? What type of accomodations - small hotel, large mega-resort, condo, upscale, budget, etc????? The more specific information you can provide the easier it will be to make meaningful recommendations.

I'd knock St. Thomas off the list. It is a very busy island.

You have posted every other day with the same question, just different islands EXCEPT for Turks and Caicos. Since that's the only constant, I say your heart is telling you to pick:

TURKS AND CAICOS 8-)
