Fun in the sun

Our Favorite to this point is St Maarten. The tourquoise blue waters, the friendly people on shore, and the SCUBA diving is absolutely incredible.
Second is CocoCay. Beaches are very nice, also Decent SCUBA. Drink package works on the island, and the food is great.

My personal favorite was Disney's Castaway Cay. It's a beautifully landscaped private island with great infrastructure and a spectacular beach. There's plenty to keep the kids occupied, and it also offers adults w/o children plenty of space to relax and enjoy their day. It's Disney magic exported to the Bahamas.
Shout out to St John's, USVI. Go see Trunk Bay yourself (if you haven't already) so I won't have to explain why I liked it. Come to think of it, any of the USVI ports (St Thomas, St John, St Croix) were great stops.

Cocoa Cay only because of the attractions and the availability of free things to do.

We enjoy San Juan because of the historical nature of the port. We really enjoy the “Dutch” islands, because it seems they want you as well as your money. We dislike the “French” islands because it seems like they want your money but they dislike you. This is just our impression and doesn’t mean it’s actually true. I also realize most of the islands are independent but many still have the flavor of original county.
