Where to travel with baby in Caribbean?
Hi all.
My husband and I are looking to take a quick trip (3-4 nights) in April with our 10 month old baby.
We are thinking Caribbean. Ideally I'd like to go to a destination that has a nice little town to explore (unlike Jamaica -- where you can't leave your resort). Also, I'd like a baby friendly hotel with a great pool, beach and restaurant options. It would be nice if the hotel had generous size rooms and was relatively close to the airport.
I've been to the basics -- PR, Jamaica, Dominican, Aruba -- and am looking to go someplace else if possible...if I could just find the right destination/hotel combination.
PS - We are coming from NY area so would also like a direct flight if possible -- or a realtively easy transfer...!
Any help is appreciated.

Did you need a kids club that accepts babies? If so, I think that limits you to Club Med villages with the Baby Clubs--not aware of any other options for child that age. Maybe FDR in Jamaica (but I know you said Jamaica is out).
Otherwise, any big hotel should be able to accomodate a baby without you really disturbing anyone. How about the Marriott or the Ritz on St. Thomas?

What about ST Lucia? Coconut Bay Resort is family oriented and all-inclusive. Or ST Kitts - the Marriott has everything and is in the heart of the tourist area, so you can walk to everything. Fabulous capital, Basseterre.

We had a great time in St. Martin with our son who was about 1.5 at a time. Though we stayed in Anguilla and came to St. Martin for a day, we liked it so much that we extended our stay and spend 2 more days in St.Martin.

We took our 7 month old to Coco La Palm (Negril) in 2004. It couldn't have been more perfect for him (and us). We are traveling back with our, then to be, 10 month old twin girls and family in May. I understand you have been to the "basics", but there isn't a more perfect place than Coco La Palm on Negril beach. As far as "not being able to leave your resort"....give us a break.
