We loved the quaint town and beautiful calm beaches. We're looking for an island or resort in the Caribbean that is similiar. A less expensive island would be great too! Need to go in Nov/Dec and hope to have 85 degree weather.

Look into Jamaica, specifically Negril area.<BR><BR>www.jamaicans.com

Sorry Dave, but Fleming has a point. Although both Jamaica &amp; St John have beautiful beaches &amp; landscapes, they are totally different. There's nowhere on the entire island of St John where I'd feel unsafe, and I mean NOWHERE. Jamaica simply doesn't offer this same security, period.

ROTFL<BR>Ja and St. John don't even belong in the same sentence. Negil does have a great beach but get real. Fleming said it perfectly. Maybe Grenada or St. Barth's would satisfy.

I too asked the same question many months ago. St Barths was also suggested to me. I was also wondering how Barbados would compare.

Bermuda is very safe and beautiful !<BR>

St John is our most favorite spot (we are renting a cottage on little hawksnest in may). We spent a week in Barbados- very beautiful, very large, friendly people but a lot of poverty and the food is ULTRA expensive. Hard to beat St John- especially the beaches &amp; snorkling. Little Cayman has wonderful snorkling but not the St John quality beaches. St Barths (great beaches)is an option (rent a villa near Saline beach).

Maggie, <BR><BR>We went to St. John, and it was very good. I would recommend you to look into Anegada and Cat Island in the Bahamas, but be warned, there is no nightlife what so ever. You can rent a car on both Anegada and Cat Island, there are a few restaurants to eat at, there are lots of places to snorkel and sunbath. We stayed on the beach from 10 AM until 5 or 6 in the evening and not one person walked by, (the resorts we stayed at prepared a lunch for us). I thought it was a great get-a-way. If I recall, I thought the cost was about the same as our trip to St. John. If you need any more...<BR><BR>Michael<BR><BR>
