island advice for 7 night end of march
 

Hi everyone,

Planning a last minute getaway with my wife. We are having trouble picking which island then which resort/hotel to stay at, there are so many that look great. Here is what we are hoping to find:

- great food
- top notch hotel/service- 5 star
- nice beach/pool
- hotel beach/pool bar
- walking or short taxi ride to hang out at some different island bars/restaurants (not totally remote island resort)

thanks so much for your help. I keep finding many places that have some of those but haven't found a spot that has all of them.

Honestly, you can find that on most islands. Since budget doesn't seem to be an issue, you might start by looking at Anguilla, St Barts, and Turks and Caicos.

T&C has everything on your list. Check out SEVEN STARS, which arguably is one of the best hotels on the island and easily walkable to many restaurants/bars/ shopping.

For some reason I thought T&C didn't have much other than the resorts. Thanks, I'll check out seven stars and was looking at st Barts options too.

I'm confused. T&C has everything on your list. But if you want nightlife, serious shopping, historic sites, look at other islands. T&C is all about the beach ( Grace Bay was recently rated no. 2 in the world) and great restaurants.

Definitely looking for some nightlife, not clubby nightlife, but island bars and restaurants etc. and maybe a day or two of decent walking in town/shopping.

We like the idea of some of the high end AI but hate the idea of not getting out to see the island off the reservation.

Grace Bay does look gorgeous.

Agree with Jimmie's list. There are several luxury hotels on Anguilla and Turks. Would add Grand Cayman (Ritz) for a good mix of beach, shopping and fantastic restaurants. If going in May or later then Bermuda (Cambridge Beaches) would be a really good fit as well.
