i am looking for a smaller resort in the caribbean for a destination wedding in april/may 2007 for about 50 people. i'd love to just 'take over' a resort with family and friends. looking for suggestions. thanks!

My husband and I did the same thing 3 years ago with 42 people at the Long Bay Hotel in Antigua. www.longbayhotel.com

It's a very casual and laid back place that does all of the important things right--good beds, good food, good beach, and a wonderful staff to boot! Our family and friends took over the resort Friday-Monday and they gave us a really good per person rate for singles & couples, and a separate rate for children under 11, and different rate for families with more than 2 children.

They helped us with a personalized ceremony and we had a very nice wedding supper at the beach house for our guests with some music. I'm happy to answer more specific questions if you have them.

Take a look at the Turks and Caicos Club. I am not too sure how many they accomadate , but it is worth checking into.

bambi, drop me a line... sounds like The Reef might be great for you, we do lots of weddings of that size.

Cayman in general is an excellent choice, so I will also happily advise you on all options in Cayman.

I like business to come my way, but I absolutely, positively want to make sure all visitors have the experience that is right for them, so if my resort is not ideal for you, I'll give you the options that I feel are right for you.... even if that does not include Cayman at all
