I have more dollars than sense. Where is the most outrageously expensive place to stay??

I want it all -- marble bathrooms, expensive lounge furniture, turn-down service, bidets, valet unpacking, because I don't know how to enjoy the Caribbean anymore for what it is. I need man-made luxury around me because the surroundings are not enough.

Robyn. Ask Liz. She appears to be queen of the more dollars than sense kingdom.

But Musha Cay seems to be more for those with Dollars & Sense. I think Robyn is looking for something a bit more glitzy, a bit more pretentious and really not worth it. C'mon all you big buck wannabees, help her out!

You could BUY Musha Cay it's for sale for a mere pittance $52 million.Then you could have your very own staff at your beck and call.<BR>Other than that The Ocean Club on Paradise Island or Kamalame Cay might suffice.<BR>www.mushacay.com<BR>www.kamalame.com<B R>Champagne wishes etc.etc.

The world's most extravagant hotel....the one in Dubai, is the Hotel Burj Al-Arab.<BR>Listen to this rundown of the CHEAPEST rooms: 1600 sq. ft, downstairs living room with wet bar, guest bathroom, 42 inch plasma screen TV and business center, spiral staircase up to bedroom with Jacuzzi bath and media center.<BR>A bargain compared to the best of the Caribbean, at just over $700/nt.

The world's most expensive hotel room is the Bridge Suite at Atlantis - tacky enough?

Hey guys, now I will have to actually seriously consider your suggestions. Seriously though, I'd rather a 3-star in BVI than a five-star in Dubai or the Bridge suite in Atlantis.

But what about all the "tacky" people you will have to deal with--you know the resorts when they have to tell you what to wear to dinner!! This is simply unheard of if they have to suggest to you what to wear what kind of clientel do they cater to??? They would never have to tell the late Jackie O what to wear??? Oh she is whom I identify with!! I want a place where she would have stayed. Nothing less will ever do and I will charge it all on my charge after all I deserve it. I have worked hard all of my life. That is where I am off to-----He-he-he.

Look forward to seeing you on St. Croix then since she spent part of her honeymoon aboard the HoneyFizz (was that the name of the yacht?) on St. Croix. It was a favorite of the Bush family too so either bend in politics is covered.

Yes I will see you there or the Greek Islands. I must also have a bathroom to include an automatic washer in the commode. You know the one that cleans, washes, I insist on 3 splashes. Not 2 but threee. The water must be a minimum of 80 degrees witht the last splash being 75! Last but not least, a powder spray will be perfect! I cannot stay anywhere at all where this is not included. The powder is most important and must be changed and attended to daily!! (wink wink)

Robyn, In Anguilla there are outrageously expensive villas: Altamar, Temenos and Cerulean. I know Cerulean has a chef,full staff, wine cellar and tennis courts (my Doctor stays there). Not sure of the prices but they are outrageously expensive beginning at $7,000 a day. Anguilla has everything you want including beautiful beaches, incredible food and extremely friendly people. If $7,000 is too steep, try the pool villa at Cap Juluca. I believe they all have websites:<BR><BR>www.altamar.com<BR>www.temenosvil las.com<BR>www.ceruleanvilla.com<BR>www.capjuluca.com
