This is a small full service resort with 170 rooms, 11 tennis courts, 4 restaurants, beautiful beaches and, of course, the national park where you can get your fill of hiking and visit the former sugar plantations.
Nevis - Four Seasons
One of the Caribbean resorts that is kid friendly, the Four seasons offers cookies and milk at bedtime, video games and even child sized bathrobes. Adults will love it too with scuba diving, tennis, windsurfing, horseback riding and golf.
Antigua - Jumby Bay
If you are looking for an all inclusive private island retreat then you’ll love this resort! The island boasts 3 beaches (one with endangered birds and turtles) and no cars are allowed so transportation is by bike and golf cart. The resort has suites as well as villas and the price includes water sports, tennis courts and all meals. While this may set you back a bit at $800 to over $2000 a night, it is truly a look into the lifestyles of the rich and famous since Robin Leach once had a house on the island.
Turks and Caicos - Parrot Cay
If it’s pampering your after than this private island resort is sure to please. Rent a beachfront villa and enjoy your own plunge pool. Visit the Shambhala Spa and enjoy their Balinese spa treatments. Like yoga and pilates? This resort offers classes in a glass hut overlooking a tranquil river.
Grenadines - Petit St. Vincent
Is it privacy you want? Then you’ll love petit St. Vincent which boasts 22 cottages on a private island. You get your meals in the cottage and there are no phones so you won’t be disturbed. In fact, you don’t ever have to see anyone here as guests communicate their needs to the staff with a system of flags attached to a mail box. Meals are ordered via a form inserted into the box - raise the yellow flag and someone will get you your meal - raise the red flag and you’ll be assured privacy. In case you do ever want to leave your cottage, you can also indulge in snorkeling, tennis and sailing.
Caribbean resorts can be found to cater to all different vacation needs. There are singles resorts, resorts that cater to families, eco-resorts and resorts where you can dance the night away. When planning your trip, be sure you do a bit of research and choose the one that works for your vacation needs.
