We'd like accomodations with 2br and 2ba (ensuite), walk to some restaurants,prefer not to rent a car. On the beach, price around $500. We have been to Cayman, T&C, Playa, Abaco, St John, we have LOVED each place. Just looking for a change. If I can answer questions about the above place just let me know.

I am not the person to help you- the places you have been I have also been (and the other places I have been don't seem "upscale" enough for your budget and what it seems you want). I did want to suggest, however, since you have not gotten a response yet that you try again with a different question and do some travel reading. Do you think Anguilla might be an idea? There are ALOT of posters here who would jump right onto a request for info. I am very interested in the idea of Grenada also but have not been. The part that stumps me is the lack of a rental car. I think maybe I might investigate Virgin Gorda anyway, with the idea of finding a place where a car is not an absolute necessity- if that is possible. Any VG experts out there? At least, by responding, I brought you back to the top of the board- good luck and happy travels.

PS If you really did love Abaco, then maybe you should take a look at Great Exuma or Stocking Island- would you be ok with a boat instead of a car? Taxi's or water taxi's? Love it, take a look. Or Isla Mujeres (look at Villa Rolandi- just chill out there or rent a golf cart??)

You really need a car in Anguilla.

Grenada---try Spice Island Resort or Blue Horizon for the suites. Can walk to restaurants or take the bus for very little money. Lots to see and do.

Nevis---Four Seasons. Several places within walking distance to eat, but may have to take a cab as well.

Four Seasons, Nevis is a good suggestion but the price point is wrong. A 2 br/2bth golf course (1st fairway) villa is around $1500.00 USD/night during low season. Grand Cayman is the only place I know that meets the price point of $500.00/night because of all the condo competition along 7 mile beach

Knowing

You can probably find a condo in GC in your price range and we found that we never needed to rent a car. Many restaurants within walking distance on 7MB. We took the bus to a couple of places, as well. GC has an excellent public bus system with regular, reliable service.

I didn't think to ask- adults or adults with children (and what ages?)- it might make a difference in what people think of. Do you want or need nightlife? shopping? what is important?

thank you for your help. We would like to be close to some restaurants, we are 2 couples in our 60s.

Looks like you got a good lead on the other post for Anguilla! Hope it works out- have fun!

Look at St Martin (French side), a few upscale hotels with wonderful restaurants within walking distance (Grand Case)
