Need Romantic Getaway
 
I like to snorkel, am a beach lover and love good restaurants and SOMe things to do at night. I have already been to many islands...Aruba (never again),Cayman Is., Turks..want to go to one I haven't been to. I have been thinking about Anguilla, Antigua, St. Johns? For two and romantic. Thanks!

what is turks like? have you been to barbados? I am debating between the two. Go to St. Martin - Le Meridien. It is quiet, beautiful and relaxing.I don't know about the snorkeling in St martin, but the restaurants are amazing.

We loved St. John as many other have mentioned that they rent a villa while vacationing there.<BR><BR>Their are lots of gorgeous villas with panoramic views, private pool and all the amenities you can think of.<BR><BR>St. John is just wonderful.

Cap Juluca on Anguilla was the most romantic place we've been. Peter Island was beautiful also. Rent a villa on St. Barts, another favorite, through Wimco.

St. John is wonderful and romantic, and Peter Island offers a romance package that is really nice.

You need to define your idea of &quot;romantic.&quot; I read somewhere that the most popular honeymoon destination in the country is Orlando, so there must be loads of people who think that Disneyworld is romantic. I am not in that group. The bottom line is, before you take someone's recommendation for a romantic getaway, you should make sure that you have the same criteria for romance as that person. I have a friend who went to a wedding at Disneyworld and the bride was &quot;given away&quot; by Mickey Mouse instead of her father. That was great for that couple but I am pretty sure that I would not want to be taking advice on romantic destinations from them.

Hi John~ I loved your thoughts on defining expectations and personal desires before requesting advice! Excellent. This ia SO true! Kelly
