There was a thread about this not too long ago if I recall. There are very few places in the Carribean. Sorry I can't remember any of the names right now but try a search above.

I know its not the caribbean ...but I was just doing some research on the Florida keys and I think I saw a resort on one of the islands that has the balcony over the water. Do a google search and you will find it, I cannot remember the name of it.

Not stilts but Compass Pint in the Bahamas does have cabanas built right on the cliffs edge so the water is under you.<BR><BR>Bora Bora resort has rooms on stilts but quite a hike to get there!

Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda (higher end priced property) and Long Bay Beach Resort on Tortola (medicore property) both have stilt accomodations but not over the water but on the beach.
