where to go???
 
Hi!

First of all, I know very little of the Caribbean. We have a week's break coming up and would love to go to some place to relax. We have Marriott rewards that we want to use up.

Both me & my husband are not the swimming type. But, we love just relaxing looking at nature at it's best. We absolutely fell in love with Kauai,Hawaii.

Which Caribbean island would be perfect?

Thanks a ton for the help!

St.Lucia

With what you're looking for, I'd agree with Kimberly...but I'll give you a bit more info on St. Lucia.
It is very picturesque and lush.
The famous Pitons are there (2 volcanic cone-shaped mountains rising from the sea). There's a beautiful rain forest. There are waterfalls (small ones but they exist). There are the steamy Sulphur Springs (world's only drive-in volcano). There's a beautiful botanical garden if you're into that. And there are picturesque fishing villages to visit.
It is truly a beautiful island.
Good luck.

Hi: the Marriott Frenchman's Reef in St. Thomas may be a good choice. St. Thomas is a lovely island for your first trip to the Caribbean. An added feature is that it is close to other islands by ferry, like St. Johns . Have a great time, Karen

Of course its a ferry to St John.Sorry,Karen
