What island?
 
I have gone to St. Martin twice, and I would like to see another island. But we enjoy everthing St. Martin has to offer. Any ideas? <BR> We would also like use our RCI timeshare.

Your question is too broad. There are so many wonderful islands and it really just depends. Can I make a suggestion? I don't own a timeshare, but it's my understanding that RCI (or whoever) keeps a book or a website - or whatever - that shows where they have properties that you could trade with. Figure out what islands are in the RCI network, then do a search here by topic island - you know, US Virgin islands, Barbados - whatever. That way, you can figure out first what RCI can offer you - then skinny it down from there. Plus for any specific island - you'll get 50 different opinions. But you will at least know as you read the postings - which of those good things/bad things are important to you. Good luck!!

we have a timeshare at Windjammer Landing in St. Lucia. All Rooms are private villas (some with private plunge pools) built in the hill over looking the bay. Nice resort with several restaurants, beach, water activities, tennis courts, pool etc...Service is excellent. Very peaceful and relaxing.

There's a time share user group website - www.tug1.net. RCI properties are listed. The nicest thing is that you can see reviews by people who've stayed at the different places.

Aruba is a good bet - there are plenty of timeshare properties and, like St. Martin, it offers casinos, good restaurants, nice beaches.

<BR>Go to the charming emerald isle, Ireland. Much less crime than any island in the Caribbean. Go to the local pub there where the natives will be downright friendly. There isn't much snorkeling but the beaches are rarely crowded.
