Need your help - we are looking for the textbook getaway..aqua waters, island restaurants, but still secluded.

We'd like to spend around $3K.

There seem to be endless websites and they are all starting to look the same, so I'm asking the experts! We want to book it and go!

TIA!

What island?

I think the OP is wanting people to suggest an Island that matches the criteria.

look at this page for coriander, ballyhoo and callaloo cottages: http://www.northshorevillas.com/coriander_cottage/
very well kept cottages right on the beach on provo in turks & caicos. good snorkeling at your door. walk to 5 restaurant/bars, a dive shop and a couple shops. you will need a car. provo has excellent dining options - many with outdoor seating, a good grocery store, not much shopping, limited nightlife. gorgeous beach, stunning tourquoise water. provo is arid not lush.

Does the $3k incl. airfare ? Where are you flying from ?

The OP has posted 3X, the last 2 in 2007. We may need to drag a little more info out of her...
