Where to bring extended family for Christmas?

Where in the Caribbean (or I could be persuaded to go elsewhere) should I bring my extended family (ages 12-85) for Christmas? Warm weather, beautiful beaches and accommodations, and not too hard to get to from the northeastern US. 14 people in all. Looking for comfort and natural beauty more than shopping and nightlife.

It would help to have more information of what you want. Do you want a big resort...a condo....all inclusive...on the beach???
You really need to go further south than the Bahamas to be guaranteed weather warm enough to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, etc.

On Turks & Caicos check out The Somerset www.thesomerset.com they have 5 bedroom condos to DIE for . Great restaurants on site and many within walking distance. Condos are beautiful, great pools, staff is fantastic...

You could rent a house in Aruba.. I would suggest staying for New Years also.. it's the BEST experience ever!

thanks - what do people think about Cayman? Are T & C and Aruba warm enough?

I think Grand Cayman would be an excellent choice. Easy flights from the east coast, warm winter weather and water, and plenty to do for everyone. We enjoy the east end Reef Resort. They have nice excursions to stingray city, sunset cruises, botanical gardens, etc. that would apeal to all ages in your group. Ocean front condo's so anyone can rest when they would like while still being close to the beach, pools, tennis court, spa, etc.

I think Aruba may offer more to do for the extended family. It is warm enough at that time of year.
