St Thomas, Curacao, St Croix or San Juan with adult kids?

We are Marriott rewards members and want to take a 25th anniv trip with our 18 & 21 year old children in July. We are considering the Carribean or Jamaica. There are marriotts in St Thomas, Curacao, St Croix, San Juan and Jamaica....really we can go wherever there is a Marriott. We have been to Grand Cayman, Cancun, & Hawaii. We wanted to go back to Hawaii but just too $$ from Florida.
Anyone out there with thoughts on this? We would like lots to do because the kids like to get out and see things, snorkel, etc. Thanks!

I like Negril Jamaica a lot. No idea about Marriotts available on the island though.

There are two Marriotts in San Juan - Marriott Stellaris and the Renaissance La Concha. They are both in Condado. I've stayed at both properties and enjoyed both. It's a nice area but the beaches are just okay. Nothing spectacular as far as the Caribbean goes (San Juan is on the Atlantic Ocean side of Puerto Rico). So if it is very important for you to have that white sand, crystal clear water, you may be disappointed.

Well, I'm partial, but the Marriott on St Thomas is well located for restaurants, shopping, snorkeling action and other activities through day trips. You can also sit by a pool or on the beach there. The beach at Morning Star is as wide as I have ever seen it. They do a night kayak deal on the harbor side that is supposed to be fun. And one of my favorite activities is having a cocktail at the harbor pool while waving at the cruise ship passengers as they leave in the evening...

My second choice would be St Kitts.
