Rich, <BR><BR>You might want to look into Pink Sands on Harbour Island, one of the family islands in the Bahamas. Accomodations are beautiful villas overlooking the beach. 3 miles of pink sand beach.<BR><BR>Several good restaurants and a few nite spots.<BR><BR>Have a great trip.

I noticed you have visited Cap Juluca in Anguilla. My fiance and I were considering this for our honeymoon in September. Any thoughts? Would you recommend the resort to others?<BR><BR>Thanks!

Rich,<BR><BR>You may want to consider La Luna in Grenada. Considering the type of resorts and hotels you have visited, I think this resort would be fabulous for you. Not sure if you have heard about it yet, as it is relatively new. It is a very secluded resort, with more of an upscale clientel looking to get away and relax. The area is just beautiful. They do not take small children at this resort.<BR><BR>The rooms are definately unique, as is the entire resort. You can expect a beautiful beach, gourmet dining options and the highest quality service. <BR><BR>Let me know if you need more details.<BR><BR>Thanks!

Tweedy,<BR> I did a search for that resort on Google. Looked at it...thought- that place is a dump! Found out there is a La Luna in Granada SPAIN, LOL!Anyway, the correct website has a children "policy" -not disallowing them. Still looks like a beautiful place, but the airfare and time to get there were outrageous from Louisville.

Sorry- I meant Jennifer, not Tweedy.Rich, take a look at Caneel at St John, Little Dix Bay at Virgin Gorda. Both very lovely!

Unless you're traveling to a couples resort like Sandals there may be children at any resort. I would say for more adult oriented resorts: Super Clubs Grand Lido Sans Souci or Jamaica Inn--all in Jamaica. Also, Cobblers Cove in Barbados or Pompano Beach Club in Bermuda.

I don't know if you have already referenced Fodors online but if you go to his MiniGuide section--go to the dropdown list and choose Caribbean and then the island you will get information on hotels etc. Traveler's comments on each hotel can be displayed by clicking on "User Rating".

I meant "Destination Guides" not MiniGuides.

The Four Seasons in Nevis is spectacular. You don't sound like a SuperClubs person and I don't mean any offense to anyone out there but we loved the Four Seasons, CapJuluca, Little Dix (has kids now), Point Grace (amazing), and Peter Island.<BR>Peter island has the most amazing beaches and service. It's also luxurious but casual and no kids.

I too ws also going tosuggest Pink Sands. Also, I have read that Four Seasons is considered one of the best along with Ocean Club in Bahamas.
