Where to go in the Caribbean?

My bf and I want to go to the Caribbean and are struggling (amazingly enough) to come up with a locale. Our favorite vacation to date was at the Westin Grand Cayman (pre-hurricane).

Here are our criteria:

- easy flight from Boston
- long weekend stay in March
- want quiet & romance
- plan is to sit on the beach with a book
- we love the spa, good food/wine and luxury accommodations (but not over-the-top prices)

HELP! Any ideas?

Many thanks!!
Ruth

Last March I stayed at the Ocean Club West in Turks & Caicos. American Airlines flies direct from Boston(about 4 hours). Not alot of nightlife, but relaxing on the very quiet beach was perfect. Stayed in a studio and purchased the meal plan....great restaurants (geicko grill), great accomodations and amazing weather. Visit www.oceanclubresorts.com
GOOD LUCK! BTW, I'm going to Grand Cayman (for the 1st time) the first week of March. Cannot wait to snorkel! Any suggestions you can give me?

still looking into accomodations. most likely 1/2 the vacation on 7MB and 1/2 on the East End.

You will love T&C. If you can wait and go the 1st week of april, you can get a 5 day/4 night package for about $1,200 for the two of you (includes all taxes and basically includes the meal plan.)

Roodee,
We're going to T&C this April. From what information we gathered, they weren't affected much by the hurricaines.
