Still trying to narrow it down.

Thanks.

Oh, we are not interested in a condo, because it is just the two of us, and condos are about the same price.

Thanks

The Westin in on the beach, as the Hyatt is across the street from the beach with the exception of a few over-priced suites. The Westin has always been one of the most highly rated resorts on GC.

Susan,

What did you finally decide...Westin or the Hyatt? My husband and I are trying to figure out the same question. We stayed at the Hyatt years ago. The Westin was even built yet. We loved the Hyatt. I am a little concerned, because it is older. Although most of the hotel is not directly on the beach, it is a short walk away. We actually enjoyed walking through the grounds to get to the beach. So many beautiful plants to admire. Anyway, let me know what you decided.

The Westin has a larger beach than the Hyatt. The beach chairs at the Hyatt are so close that when you get out of your chair you are inches from your neighbor. The condo's are actually cheaper than the Westin and offer much more. But the Westin is very nice - just overpriced.

kgeiss -

Well, we decided on the Hyatt and even booked our trip. Then I found out I was pregnant, so I cancelled (don't want morning sickness there).

But we used Priceline for our hotel. You can get insurance on it for your benefit. We paid $200.00 a night for the Hyatt in March.

Where did you decide upon?

We also decided to stay @ the Hyatt through Priceline. Got it for $205.00 a night, with insurance.

However, we are cancelling because I found out I am pregnant with our first baby, and I am just way to nervous to travel.

Have fun everyone.

Congrats on your pregnancy. We haven't decided. As I am having such difficutly deciding we may go to another place altogether. Considering Virgin Gorda, Antigua, etc. I am so confused.
