Need a destination~HELP!!!!!

My husband and I are looking for a carribean beach destination for a weeks R & R. We want some seclusion but need some things to do. Preferable more couples than families. Looking for a really nice hotel. Maybe a villa on the beach, GREAT pool, lots of dinning choices.

I am considering Cuisinart in Anguilla or Cap Juluca. Any thoughts? Opens to all suggestions. Been to the major islands, St thomas, Barbados, Caymans, Antigua, Jamacia so would like other options. What about some all inclusive things like Sandals, Club Met?
Thanks a bunch!
Kim

First things first: Cap Juluca has a crappy pool. Secondly, don't know what you had in mind for "things to do" but there are 80 restaurants & 33 beaches in Anguilla & that's about it. Obviously, you can charter a boat & snorkel or dive but there's no real town center, limited shopping, no casinos, no jet skis, etc. A great place to veg out & swim, sun, eat, read, whatever -- unbelievable beaches & restaurants!

Hi

I agree with Mary Aguilla is a quiet island, not a bad thing. I preferred Cap J to Cuisin Art. Cap J has great dining choices We really enjoyed Pims and a fabulous beach but not a great pool

If you are looking for a caribbean beach destination for a week of R&R, then I suggest St. Kitts. Beautiful unspoilt island.

You can stay at the Marriott or Ottley's Plantation.

St. Kitts has a variety of dining choices, a safe destination, friendly locals, and a variety of activities. (diving, golf, rainforest tours, kayaking, liming on the beach, catamaran & snorkel excursion, scenic raiway tour and much more.

An excellent web site is www.discover-stkitts-nevis-beaches.com

On the sister island of Nevis, there is the Four Seasons or a beautiful villa called Moonhill. www.villacaribbean.com

Breathtaking views with your own gourmet cook. Note: not much nightlife in St. Kitts.
