This is one spot thats hard to find information. On the way to Antigua, flying near Barbuda the shore line beaches look wonderful. We did meet 2 couples at Jumby who had been to the island. One couple years ago, who ended up buying on Jumby, and another couple who combined Coccopoint (much like a camp, small rooms, etc.) and Jumby Bay. They said the island was very nice, wonderful beaches, and not much else. Its now on luxurylink. I would recommend combining the two, as Jumby is near the airport! Good luck in your search!

Never been to Barbuda, but this place rates highly in Ian Keown's &quot;Caribbean Hideaways&quot; and also in Houghton Mifflin's &quot;Best Places to Stay in the Caribbean.&quot;<BR><BR>According to them, it's a place of Italian style and sophistication, but with Barbuda's laid-back charms. Apparently Krizia (hence, the K in K-Club), the fashion designer, used to vacation at CocoPoint (also on Barbuda). However, she and her guests thought that the Americans who ran it and frequented it were a little too conservative, so she bought some land on Barbuda and created her own brand of getaway.<BR><BR>

Bring money,lots. To get r.o.i./return on your investment, go during Christmas season only when Mariuccia is generally in residence. Coco Point is the only other major resort on island -- but it's style is pure G Bush Sr/Cheeca Lodge/upscale playing downscale -- while the reverse is true at KClub. That said, the island has probably the finest beaches in the Caribbean -- and few tourists.

The style is Euro and distinctly minimalist Italian. Krizia's the label--Mariuccia Mandrelli, the designer, who with her husband,own the place. They literally built it after being barred from Coco Point as being too chic and casual fun-loving for the Fortune 500 fishermen/so it's the very anthithesis of George and Barbara and clan. And thank god for that. Pricey but def.worth it during Christmas holiday season.
